Will Smith and Chris Rock had an on-stage altercation at the Oscars
In his first gig after the shocking altercation, Chris told his fans at the show: "I don't have a bunch of [expletive] to say about that, so if you came here for that…" he began.
"I'm still processing what happened, so at some point I'll talk about that [expletive]. It'll be serious. It'll be funny, but right now I'm going to tell some jokes."
Will Smith gave a tearful speech after the shock moment
The comments were revealed in audio footage from the gig shared by Variety. They came after Chris' brother, Tony Rock, denied reports that Sean Diddy Combs said Will and Chris had reconciled after the show.
Meanwhile, it has since been reported that the Academy did ask Will to leave the awards event in LA but that he refused. It's also been reported that the Oscar-winner is under investigation by the Academy, who admitted they could have handled the incident differently. However, it's thought that Will's Academy Award will not be taken away from him.
Will has since apologised to Chris in a lengthy Instagram post, stating his behaviour was "unacceptable" and "inexcusable." He said in part: "I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."
