Howard Stern Blasts Hollywood for Treating Will Smith Differently Than Dave Chappelle Attacker

Howard Stern is calling out what he sees as hypocrisy in Hollywood. 

During Wednesday’s episode of The Howard Stern Show, the 68-year-old shock jock took some time to address the recent on-stage attack of Dave Chappelle,

and how it garnered a much different reaction than Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. 

“I hate to say it but I’ve always thought, I told you I used to do live — America’s Got Talent. I always thought it’s these live shows and everything,

 it’s crazy because people are getting nuttier and nuttier and they’re going to use these opportunities to attack people,” he said.

He continued, “Listen! You don’t treat Will Smith any different than they did the Chappelle attacker. The audience at the Oscars gave Will Smith a standing ovation after the attack, that’s the truth.

It’s on film, it’s not fake news. They didn’t break Will’s hands, they shook them and it’s wrong and they all should be ashamed of themselves.”
