Rob Schneider, previously unable to speak freely on the matter due to his role as an official for SAG-AFTRA, recently slammed Will Smith as an "a--hole" for his infamous Oscars slap on Chris Rock. Calling Smith a "t-t" and a "lair," Schneider accused him of hiding his true colors and revealed his disappointment in the delayed punishment Smith received. Despite not watching the incident live, Schneider expressed his shock and solidarity with Rock, noting the comedian's delayed reaction to the assault. While acknowledging the sensitive nature of the situation, Schneider emphasized the importance of immediate consequences for violent behavior, regardless of skin color or status. With a scathing critique of the Academy's handling of the incident, Schneider stood firm in denouncing Smith's actions and defending his friend Chris Rock.
