Chris Rock ‘storms out’ in middle of comedy set at billionaire’s party

Chris Rock “stormed out” in the middle of his comedy set at billionaire Anthony Pratt’s Christmas party.

The 59-year-old comedian did a surprise set at Pratt’s holiday party over the weekend, according to The Post.

However, his set was cut short after he joked, “Our new push will be outer space. We’ll put all the Mexicans on the rockets.”

The Post’s Cindy Adams, who attended the soirée, said Rock “saw something the audience did not” that “upset him.”

He shouted that “he wasn’t supposed to be taped, videoed, reported or whatever else wasn’t supposed to happen.”

Rock then “[barreled] quickly, forcefully, through people to the exit doors” without explaining why.

“Without a second’s hesitation, stormed out — never to return,” Adams described the incident.

Page Six has reached out to Rock’s reps but did not immediately hear back.

Following his shocking exit, Keith Urban took the stage where he performed for guests for an hour and a half.

Rock has remained fairly under the radar since he was slapped by Will Smith during the 2022 Oscars.

At the time, Rock made a joke about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head.

“Jada, I love you, ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it,” he said, referring to Demi Moore’s shaved head in the 1997 film “G.I. Jane.” And while the “King Richard” star first laughed about the joke, he immediately turned sour.

Following the comment, Jada — who has alopecia — looked furious before a livid Smith shouted, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”

The 56-year-old then stormed the stage and slapped Rock, who responded, “Wow, Will Smith just smacked the s–t out of me” before defending what was “just a ‘G.I. Jane’ joke,” but the Oscar-winning actor was not having it and again screamed, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”

The slap garnered divided reactions from fellow Hollywood stars but The Academy condemned it.

Despite apologizing and resigning from the Academy, Smith was banned from all Academy events for 10 years.

“The Board of Governors has decided, for a period of 10 years, from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards,” they announced in April 2022.

The statement continued, “We want to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Rock for maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances. We also want to thank our hosts, nominees, presenters and winners for their poise and grace during our telecast.”

Smith was allowed to keep his Oscar for his role in “King Richard.”

However, the actor’s reaction to Rock’s joke hasn’t deterred him from making inappropriate jokes.

In August 2022, he was slammed for making a joke about Nicole Brown Simpson’s tragic murder.
