He gave a Stern lecture.
Radio icon Howard Stern is tearing into Tinseltown, saying they’re treating Oscar slapper Will Smith differently when compared to Dave Chappelle’s attacker.
The 68-yr-outdated shock jock criticized the meant showbiz double typical in the course of a Wednesday episode of “The Howard Stern Display.”
“This man jumped up on stage and attacked Dave Chappelle,” Stern fumed into the mic, Mediaite noted. “As before long as that took place, did they permit him go back again to his seat and laugh and sit future to his wife and then give them an award? No! They took him backstage, they broke his arms and fingers so terrible.”
He additional, “They f – – king conquer the s – – t out of him.”
Stern was referring to the viral incident in which Isaiah Lee, 23, tackled the “Half Baked” star when armed with a bogus gun through the “Netflix Is a Joke” festival in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl. The assailant was subsequently beaten to a pulp by protection and arrested whilst A-listing celebs like Chris Rock and Jamie Foxx tended to Chappelle. Lee has due to the fact been billed with felony assault with a lethal weapon.
Needless to say, Stern discovered it hypocritical that the very same requirements didn’t utilize to the 53-yr-outdated “Ali” actor following his infamous Oscars slap at Rock.
“Unlike the Academy Awards, Jamie Foxx came managing out on stage and helped Dave Chappelle,” the entertainer ranted. “At the Academy Awards, everyone came around and consoled Will Smith — for the reason that it was are living television and Hollywood didn’t know what to do about Will Smith.”
Certainly, following the Smackademy Awards — in which the “Hancock” star slapped Rock for earning a bald crack about his spouse Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia — Smith was allowed to stay at the occasion and settle for the Very best Actor Oscar, for which he gained a standing ovation. And, in a total 180 from the Chappelle assault, Smith was comforted by celebs alternatively of his victim.
In a natural way, some could uncover it unsurprising that an Oscar-profitable actor was treated in another way than a non-movie star. However, Stern maintained that Hollywood shouldn’t “treat Will Smith any unique than they did the Chappelle attacker.”
“The viewers at the Oscars gave Will Smith a standing ovation just after the assault, which is the fact,” the radio personality vented. “It’s on movie, it is not phony information. They did not break Will’s palms, they shook them and it’s wrong.”
In summary, Stern identified the discrepancy in penalties indicative of “how f – – ked up Hollywood is.”
“Some people today in the audience at the Academy Awards however really should be extremely ashamed of on their own. I hope they are,” he stated.
Of course, Smith’s deed didn’t go totally unpunished: In April, the “I Am Legend” actor was slapped with a 10-12 months ban from the Academy Awards ceremony.
As for Chappelle and Tuesday’s incident, he’s not shaken up.
“The performances by Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl ended up epic,” his rep, Carla Sims, explained to the Hollywood Reporter. “Dave Chappelle celebrated four evenings of comedy and audio, placing history-breaking product sales for a comic at the Hollywood Bowl. This operate ties Chappelle with Monty Python for the most headlined displays by any comedian at the Hollywood Bowl, achieving 70K followers of assorted backgrounds through the first ‘Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival,’ and he refuses to make it possible for final night’s incident to overshadow the magic of this historic second.”
