Jane 2, can’t wait to see it!” Smith later said in a statement, in which he also formally apologised to Rock, that the joke “was too much for me to bear”.In a forthcoming episode of the Drink Champs podcast, Mayers chimed in to offer the theory that Smith’s assault on Rock was the result of “some built-up shit that probably wasn’t really targeted at Chris Rock”, adding that “it just seemed like more than a G.I.
