That’s the message Rock’s mother, Rose Rock, is sending now.
“He is doing well,” Rose said.
“As he said, he’s still processing it, because that’s not something you expect.”
But Rose’s own reaction was very personal.
“But he really slapped me … Because when you hurt my child, you hurt me.”
But on Oscars night, Rose was all mama bear.
“Watching from home, Rose felt helpless not being able to reach out to her son right away.
“No matter how old they are, they’re still your babies,” Rose said.
Mama Rock doesn’t think much of Smith’s Oscar ban.
“What does that mean?
[He doesn’t] even go every year,” she said.
The interviewer asked Rose whether she would like to see Chris and Will sit down to iron things out.
“That would have to be on them,” she answered.
“Something like that is personal.”
