Terry Crews Offers Honest Take On Chris Rock And Will Smith's ... (Cinema Blend)

Terry Crews knows both Chris Rock and Will Smith, offering a unique perspective on the slap.

And as such, he doesn’t want to demonize his friend and colleague for a mistake Crews could have made years ago. While the comedian was clearly shocked throughout the rest of his appearance, he kept the show going and didn’t retaliate as Smith proceeded to scream at him from his seat. Terry Crews continues to stay busy with TV projects, recently joining the Walking Dead universe. What’s more, Crews seems to take umbrage with exactly how the recent Oscar winning actor was punished as a result of the incident. This is, of course, due to Will Smith infamously slapping Chris Rock on camera, and the fallout that occurred as a result. While Terry Crews definitely doesn’t seem pro-violence, he’s got his own perspective on Will Smith and Chris Rock’s scuffle at the Oscars. He claims he’s been just as heated as Smith in his past, so he’s able to have empathy.
