Chris Rock Reveals Why He Turned Down Hosting the 2023 Oscars

Published: Tuesday 30th Aug 2022 by Ryan

Chris Rock is not returning to the Oscars as a host, and now he is revealing the real reason behind his decision.

Full story below…

Five months after the infamous slap from fellow actor Will Smith, Rock revealed during a show in Phoenix that he was asked to host next year’s ceremony.

However, Rock has since turned down the role and according to Arizona Republic, he said that returning would be like going back to the scene of a crime.

He even referenced O.J. Simpson and compared it to asking Nicole Brown Simpson “to go back to the restaurant” where she left her eyeglasses before being killed.

The ‘Grown Ups’ star also went on to joke about the size differences between him and Smith.

While it has been reported by Deadline that ABC’s President of Entertainment Craig Erwich is open to having Rock back, it appears that will not be happening.

Rock previously hosted the award show in 2005 and 2016.

      Jada isn’t OWED an apology for anything. This narrative needs to end.

    I’m glad he got slapped and I’m glad Will’s career is OVER. Never liked either of them. Both CORNY. 🌽

    • True Tea August 30, 2022

      That’s why he’s NOT Respected. They see him a$$ kiss for the bag.

      • TiTi August 30, 2022

        It was long overdue!!

    im sure we’ve all see the gay p*rn version of the slap.. on men.com

  6. True Tea August 30, 2022

    Why would Chris return when Will Smith received a standing ovation AFTER he assaulted him??

    Clearly Hollyweird NEVER gave a f*ck about him and he’s NOT as respected as he think he is since Will Smith wasn’t arrested on site. He’s just another N-Word, whom they call up when they need a good laugh.

    Nothing more, nothing less.

  7. Paulo August 30, 2022

    The nerve to compare himself to a murder victim….. 🙄 what an asshole

  8. #TheTruth August 30, 2022

    B**** please. Returning to the scene of the crime ? Move the hell on. There’s much worse things happening in the world.
    Yes Will was wrong, ok, and he is already paying a heavy price for being so stupid.
    But don’t be such an idiot as well. You handled this perfectly live but now… hell no.

  9. Yikes August 30, 2022

    Y’all act like this was just some slap in a back alley. No matter WHAT way you spin this, he was assaulted on LIVE television in front of millions of people around the WORLD. You will NEVER know what it feels like on that scale, ever. So stop trying to sit here and say stop being a b****, man up, etc.

    After it happened the whole f****** place cause a standing ovation to the assailant. Why the F*** would he want to go back to that?

    Let’s keep it real. Some of y’all work at McDonald’s. How would you feel if you got slapped in front of the whole joint in the middle of a rush and had your entire team and customers clap and stand up to the b**** who hit you. Would you go back?! WHY WOULD YOU?

    Gtfoh with your lame ass warrior keyboard fingers. There is absolutely no depth to social media and it shows. Everyone’s a god. Everyone’s perfect. Everyone would do things differently than the next. Y’all have no f****** clue.

      F*** off idiot being humiliated is not as bad as being murdered period

      • Bye August 31, 2022

      • Fancy BISH (Back To The Future 🤣) 👊🏽💎💋 August 31, 2022

        @Bye, pay no attention to Paula; she’s a bitter drag queen and the site’s residential wigger.

      • Paulo August 31, 2022

        @Bye so you didn’t read his actual statements then. Dummy.
        @IlliterateFakeBitch your reads ain’t reading

      • Fancy BISH (Back To The Future 🤣) 👊🏽💎💋 September 1, 2022

        Wigger, I can tell I have you pressed 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    The Oscars want ratings. Chris knows that’s why they are asking him to host again. Exploit the machismo the sad Will Smith attempted to display at the last telecast. No need. Start again and bury the stupidity and arrogance of Smith’s actions. “Keep my wife’s name outchur f#kin mouth” was just what it was – pathetic. The Oscars are going to have to do some climbing without Mr.Rock.
