HEADLINE

In an official statement from the LAPD, it has been confirmed that Chris Rock will not be taking the matter further following his altercation with Smith. While Rock may not be pressing charges at this time, he certainly retains the right to reconsider at a later date.

While Smith apologized for his conduct during his acceptance speech, he did not apologize to Rock. Media reports suggested that Smith and Rock were planning to talk at an afterparty, though no confirmation of whether or not that transpired was available at the time of this writing.

Neither party has released a public statement through their agents regarding the assault. However, Smith's son Jaden tweeted, "And That's How We Do It," a sentiment that has received almost 650,000 likes and counting.
