The infamous Oscars slap has been the topic on everyone’s lips since it happened.
Will Smith very publicly slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made an insensitive remark about Jada Pinkett Smith, comparing her to G.I Jane.
In the wake of this incident, Smith has since apologized to Rock, the Academy and his fellow nominees.
Now that a week has passed since the Oscars took place, the actor is starting to see real repercussions for his actions.
The 53-year-old’s upcoming Netflix film Fast and Loose has reportedly slowed down production, as per the Hollywood Reporter.
The publication also reported that Smith was given the first 40 pages or so of Bad Boys 4 but the production has also been slowed for the time being.
The actor allegedly tried to justify his reaction to Rock by explaining why Rock’s joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head cause such a severe response – Jada has been open about her struggles with hair loss caused by alopecia.
And while many were wondering how Rock would get revenge for the attack, some people have pointed out that he already has.
Rock’s revenge is to just act with class after the attack, while everything goes wrong for Smith.
Will Smith isn't tough. Chris Rock is tough. He gets sucker slapped by a brooding egoist and then never even TOUCHES his face. Doesn't leave, doesn't lose it, doesn't hold a presser, simply carries on flawlessly, for the sake of the next winner. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/8CtZbHbdcZ

Rock hasn’t spoke publicly about the slap, he’s just gone about his business with class, selling out shows and showing he doesn’t need to cash in on the attack to benefit his career.
That’s real revenge.
