to spend a night in his cell at the West Philadelphia Police Station with
other inmates waking him up all night and asking for his autograph. It was
the worst night of his life. He wants to forget it ever happened. He
probably wants to forget about The Slap too, but that won't happen any time
soon.

America program, which will be broadcast this Friday in full, the producer
assured that Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) agents appeared at the
Dolby theater and asked Rock if he wanted to press charges. against
Smith.
"They said, 'Let's go get him. We are prepared, we are prepared to arrest you now. You can press charges,'” the producer said. According to Packer, as the agents outlined the options, Rock, also present in the conversation, insisted that he did not want to take any action.
