Earlier we reported that PAGE SIX was exclusively told by Diddy that Chris Rock and Will Smith had buried the hatchet.
Turns out that is not even remotely true.
TMZ said a source with direct knowledge tells us Chris and Will haven’t settled anything, despite a claim from Diddy saying everything was cool.
In fact, we’re told the whole thing stunned Chris … who went straight to his dressing room after the slap and there has been no communication since between the two men.
We spoke to a close friend of Chris who was at The Oscars … who tells us even before the incident with Will, he had “no intention of staying” … he went to his dressing room and then left the building.
Then there’s this … the source says Chris had no idea Jada had alopecia and that he “doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.”
Chris’ joke that sparked the smack was directed at Jada’s short hair, telling her he couldn’t wait for “G.I. Jane 2.”
Our source says Chris was left “shaken and bewildered” by Will, but he still went to Guy Oseary’s Oscars After Party to try and have some fun before the night ended.
As for Diddy, we’re told he was backstage when the whole thing went down, but he told Page Six at the Variety after-party, “That’s not a problem. That’s over.” Our Chris Rock source says that’s absolutely not true … and the two haven’t spoken.
At this point, we just need to wait for Chris to share his side.
In the meantime, The Academy has opened its own investigation into the incident and will do a formal review.
