Chris Rock has so far declined to file a police report against actor Will Smith, who came onto the stage and struck the 57-year-old funnyman while he was presenting during the 94th Academy Awards.
While legal experts aren’t counting on the comedian to make a big production out of the drama that unfolded at the Dolby Theater Sunday, there still could be lights, cameras and legal action.
“I am certain that the reason we have heard nothing today from Chris Rock is that he’s meeting with his lawyers and publicists,” Esquire Digital chief legal analyst Aron Solomon told the Daily News by email Monday. “Each have an important, different job to do.”
