Joe Rogan’s Insinuation Against Jada Pinkett Smith Amidst Chris Rock-Will Smith Oscar Fiasco

Fans have been waiting for Joe Rogan to comment on the recent controversy between Will Smith and comedian Chris Rock. In a new episode on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, the podcaster, along with his guest Josh Barnett, discussed the incident.

Speaking about the whole incident, Rogan said, “Chris Rock said one of the most mild jokes ever. Jada Pinkett is bald. Apparently, I didn’t know this, I found out after the fact that it’s, she didn’t shave her head voluntarily. She shaved her head because she’s suffering from alopecia.”

“So, I don’t know if Chris knew this. But Chris says a joke around G.I. Jane 2, looking forward to it. Very mild, just laughed and even said, ‘come on, that was nice’ and then Will Smith initially laughs but it looked like Jada was upset and so Will changes his tune, walks on stage, and smacks Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars.”

Rogan did not like the ‘glorification’ of being able to hit someone. However, Barnett had a different take. According to the guest, there was no glorification of violence, and Smith was ready to ‘own up to it’. But Rogan felt that Smith wasn’t thinking that far ahead.
