While the chaos surrounding the altercation is beginning to dissipate, Jay Leno is breathing new life into the conversation by addressing the controversy during an interview with the Palm Beach Daily News. 

Jay attended the Oscars that night. 

“To me, the thing that’s most disturbing wasn’t the slap, because he was kind of smirking after he slapped [Rock],” said Leno.” The former Tonight Show host added, “It was the yelling of the obscenities. Then you go, ‘Whoa. What’s going on here?’ This is real anger.”
