Famous Hollywood comedian and actor Rob Schnieder still has a distaste for his fellow Hollywood peer Will Smith, regarding the controversial slap between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. During the 2022 Oscars, host Chris Rock decided to poke fun at actress Jada Smith’s balding due to her alopecia condition, whereas her husband Will who sat alongside her in the audience was not as humored. The I Am Legend actor got out of his seat to greet Rock on stage with a slap across the face, followed by a slew of vulgar threats.
It seems as though to this day Rob Schneider still holds a grudge against Smith for slapping his long-time friend and co-worker Chris Rock. Rock and Schneider have worked together many times, predominantly under fellow friend Adam Sandler’s production company Happy Madison. Schnieder and Rock have appeared alongside one another in hit films such as Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, and The Longest Yard.
Schneider expressed his feelings towards Smith during his guest appearance on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show this past Tuesday. During the show, Schneider stated that he feels Smith is a “fraud”. Schneider doubled down on his claims by stating that Smith had been hiding his true colors from the masses for a long time but finally exposed himself at the 2022 Oscars. Along with calling Smitha a fraud, Schneider also labeled Smith as a liar and a few other inappropriate choice words.
Schneider has not been the only famous person to criticize Will Smith for his previous antics. ESPN host Stephen A. Smith shared his current views on Smith during a segment of his show on Monday. Stephen Smith vowed to not see Smith’s latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride Or Die until he publicly addressed his actions at the 2022 Oscars. However, Will Smith did issue an apology to Rock the very next day on social media platforms.
