Taking the initiative. Denzel Washington and other Hollywood buddies were quick to soothe Chris Rock after Will Smith slapped him during the 94th Annual Academy Awards."If the devil ignores you, you know you're doing something wrong," Washington, 67, remarked at a discussion at the T.D. Jakes Leadership Summit on Saturday, April 2, which was streamed live on The Wrap. "Oh no, let him alone; he's my favorite," the devil says. When the devil attacks you, it's possible that he's attempting to do the right thing. And the devil had a hold on him that night for whatever reason."
On Sunday, March 27, the creator of Everybody Hates Chris made news after making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head during the Oscars. Smith married the 53-year-old Philadelphia native in 1997. Pinkett Smith, 50, might star in a hypothetical G.I. Jane sequel, according to Rock, 57. During the broadcast, the Maryland native rolled her eyes, her shaved head the outcome of her alopecia fight. Smith, for one, stormed the stage at the Dolby Theatre and struck Rock in the face.After resuming his seat, Smith screamed, "Keep my wife's name out of your f—king lips!" Washington, Tyler Perry, and Diddy were among the celebrities who tried to mediate shortly after the incident.On Saturday, the Tragedy of Macbeth star, who was nominated for Best Lead Actor at the awards presentation, stated, "There's no way I could have sat in my seat." "I'm not that kind of person…." Fortunately, there were others there who came over right away with me, not just me, but others like Tyler Perry."While the Fences star wouldn't go into detail about the actors' conversation, he did say that they wished Smith well.
"Who are we to pass judgment on?" says the narrator. "I don't know all the details of this scenario, but I do know that prayer was the only option, as far as I could tell," Washington continued.
Smith won the Best Lead Actor award for his role as Richard Williams, the father of Serena and Venus Williams, in King Richard, despite the Academy's best efforts to keep Smith and Rock apart for the length of the ceremony.
