Rob Schneider is finally free to go in on Will Smith over his infamous Oscars slap on Chris Rock — and let’s just say, he’s not sugarcoating it at all.
It’s been 2 years since the slap seen ’round the world, but Rob kept mum until now because he was an elected SAG-AFTRA official at the time, but on Tuesday’s “The Kyle & Jackie O Show” he let it rip … branding the actor a “twat” and saying he exposed himself as the “a**hole” he really is.
Rob called the slap a “deep, dark thing” for Will to do on a worldwide stage like the Academy Awards — and especially to Chris, who he hailed as one of the greatest comedians of our generation.
Host Jackie O was shocked, saying Will was super nice when she met him — but, Rob shut her down, insisting it was all an act, branding Will a liar and a complete fraud.
Rob added Chris’ joke — a mild one, in his opinion — about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, was simply no excuse for that kinda violence.
Smith went on to snag Best Actor for “King Richard” later in the ceremony — and Rob claims the Academy was too busy tiptoeing around political correctness to take immediate action.
“They were so cowardly,” Rob added, “because if I had done that, I would’ve been hauled off to prison.”
A week post-slap, the Academy gave Will a 10-year ban from attending the Oscars and he also apologized. But, the big question remained: how would this affect his Hollywood standing?
Looks like he’s bouncing back just fine though — currently headlining in ‘Bad Boys 4.’ And hey, he got a taste of his own medicine, with his character catching a slap in it!
