In response to a Twitter user asking the younger rock if he agreed with Smith’s apology, the stand-up comedian said had a short answer: “No.” Smith took to the stage at the awards show and slapped Chris Rock, who was presenting at the time, after making a joke about Smith’s wife’s shaved head. Jada Pinkett Smith suffers from hair loss due to alopecia, an autoimmune disease that can lead to hair loss.
Tony Rock, who tweeted that he was absent from the Oscars, starred in the 2007 sitcom All of Us, which was created by the Smiths.
He answered several tweeted questions, including how his brother is doing he has answered, “Still rich.” “Not My Call” Rock tweeted in response to whether he believed Smith’s Best Actor Oscar, which he received shortly after meeting Chris Rock, should be withdrawn by the Academy (although that would be an unprecedented response).
He also appeared to be alluding to those who said his brother should have been more sensitive to Pinkett Smith’s health condition, considering the elder Rock directed and starred in the 2009 documentary Good Hair about black women, their hair and the beauty industry .
“Be sure to check out ‘Good Hair’ as the narrative has now been changed to say anything my brother does is disrespectful to women of color.” The younger rock tweeted.
It’s not clear if Chris Rock was aware that Pinkett Smith had alopecia.
