Well, the infamous “slap” is still making tons and tons of rounds on the good ole Interwebs, with no signs of the story slowing down anytime soon, thanks in one part to actor and comedian David Spade, who is a friend of Chris Rock, deciding to weigh in on the Will Smith Oscar fiasco during the 94th annual Academy Awards.
Spade seemingly mocked the idea that Smith would get his feathers ruffled by such a mild joke delivered by Chris Rock.
“A GI Jane joke???” Spade went on to post on his Twitter account. The post exploded online, garnering almost 147,000 likes.

Here are a few more details from the fine folks at The Daily Wire:
Spade then doubled-down on his criticism of Smith, battling a critic of his own. “Why would you phrase this as ‘a GI Jane joke?’ instead of ‘a joke about a woman with alopecia’?” the Spade critic said.
“Because comedians don’t have a medical chart for everyone in the audience,” the “Tommy Boy” actor shot back. This tweet, too, went viral, pulling in some 213,000 likes.

Spade then reportedly chatted with Page Six during a Vanity Fair Oscars after-party saying, “that Smith’s attack ‘set a dangerous precedent.’”
The Daily Wire went on to point out that Jada, just a week prior to the Oscars event, “stated in a TikTok video that she loved her bald head and didn’t care what people thought, asserting, ‘I don’t give two craps what people feel about this bald head of mine. Because guess what? I love it.’”
Well, now, that can’t possibly be true. Otherwise, she would have yucked it up with Rock (continued)
