Rob Schneider is facing backlash online after calling Will Smith derogatory names, including a “twat,” for slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Schneider’s comments on a radio show about the incident have sparked negative reactions. He revealed that, as an Academy Awards union member, he was in a difficult position to comment on the situation.
Schneider criticized Smith for his actions, calling him an “asshole” and a “douchebag” for his behavior towards Rock, who he believes is a legendary comedian. He also criticized the Academy for not taking immediate action against Smith for what he perceived as a criminal act.
Despite the controversy, Smith has been focusing on his successful film career, with his recent movie, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” performing well at the box office.

Here are some of the comments on Twitter about Rob Schneider’s attack on Will Smith:
😂😂😂 they are UPSET that Will Smith is still being supported.
He’s jealous of him.
Will is LOVED and Rob is not. He will never experience that type of love and support in his lifetime.
He wants to punish him 🤣🤣🤣.

Dear Rob Schneider,
At this point, the only thing Will Smith needs to continue apologizing for is the 1999 film, “Wild Wild West”-that movie sucked balls of maggot infested rice bits but despite that, Will seems to be able to land great roles without the help of Adam Sandler.

Rob Schneider is the a**hole. He's basing Will being a "douche" simply on the Oscars situation? Get a grip old man. Oh and you would never be on an Oscar stage period, so don't worry about being hauled out or not. https://t.co/FulYbn3Atf
