According to reports, the comedian made the revelation during a Standup comedy show in Phoenix, Arizona where he compared returning to host the show to returning to the scene of a crime.
Recall that Will Smith attacked Rock at the 2022 Oscars early this year, over a joke he made about Jada Pinkett’s struggle with alopecia resulting in her bald look.
The attack sparked major controversial takes online mostly targeted at Jada and Smith.
The actor has since made a number of public apologies to the Academy, ROCK and his family over the slap which earned him a 10-year ban from the Oscars or any Academy related event.
While the Academy has made no comments on Rock’s decision to avoid the Oscars live stage, Bill Kramer, the incoming Academy CEO, confirmed earlier this month that the slap would be off-limits for jokes at next year’s ceremony.
