Chris Rock Straight Up Shuts Down Audience Member Yelling 'F**k Will Smith' At Sold Out Comedy Show
perezhilton.comChris Rock is trying to avoid spurring on any of the public’s anger at Will Smith. As we’ve been reporting, the 57-year-old comedian performed at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on Wednesday night in his first show since suffering this past Sunday’s now-infamous slap across the face on stage at the Oscars at the hands of the Men In Black actor.
And while there was some controversy surrounding Rock’s first show back in theaters since the incident, it seems like the comedian is taking whatever steps he can to keep things calm!

The stand-up artist returned to the Boston-area theater on Thursday night for a second evening of comedy, and according to witnesses on scene there, he was keen on keeping the crowd in line regarding Will.
Dressed in an all-white ensemble for the sold-out show, the comedian began his act only to witness the audience start to go OFF!
According to People, at one point in Rock’s set, an audience member yelled out “F**k Will Smith!” Responding quickly and forcefully to the call, Chris turned it back by plainly shutting it down, telling fans, “No, no, no, no!” Witnesses at Wednesday night’s prior show recall there being some anti-Will sentiment in the audience then, too, but Rock jumped right into his set and moved things along.
