Jimmy Kimmel defended his humor after Marjorie Taylor Greene chastised him for making a joke about Will Smith striking her.

“@ABC this threat of violence against me by @jimmykimmel has been lodged with the @CapitolPolice,” the politician, 47, wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, April 6. “Officer?” said Kimmel, 54, in response to the message. I’d like to make a humorous report.”

During a segment on his Jimmy Kimmel Live! late-night show the day before, the New York native questioned Greene’s views.

“This woman, Klan mom, is particularly angry with the three Republican senators who have announced they’ll vote yes on Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination,” he noted during a broadcast on Tuesday, April 5. “When you really need Will Smith, where is he?”

After Marjorie Taylor Greene reported Jimmy Kimmel to Capitol Police for making a joke about Will Smith at the Oscars, he responds.

Kimmel’s remark comes after Smith, 53, made news late last month for his altercation with Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards. While presenting an award, Rock, 57, made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shorn head. Before her husband stepped over to the stage and slapped the stand-up comedian, the 50-year-old actress, who suffers from alopecia, rolled her eyes.

In uncensored footage that eventually appeared online, Rock remarked, “Will Smith just knocked the s—t out of me.” After returning to his seat, the Hitch star yelled at Rock to “keep my wife’s name out of your f—king mouth.”

One day later, the King Richard star, who had just won the best actor award, apologized for his “unacceptable and reprehensible” actions against Rock. “I’d like to make a public apology to you, Chris.” I was both out of line and incorrect. I’m embarrassed, and my actions do not reflect the guy I aspire to be. In a world of love and generosity, there is no place for violence,” he stated on Instagram.

“I’d also like to apologize to The Academy, the show’s producers, all of the attendees, and everyone watching across the world,” Smith continued. I’d like to express my regret to the Williams and King Richard families. I am very sorry that my actions have marred what has otherwise been a wonderful adventure for all of us.”

The Philadelphia star announced his resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences amid public outcry.

According to Variety, he claimed in a statement on Friday, April 1, that his actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were “shocked, painful, and unacceptable.” “Chris, his family, many of my personal friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home are among those I have injured.” I betrayed the Academy’s confidence.”

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum is concerned about what this incident implies for his future, according to a source who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly at the time. “He feels bad and is trying not to panic,” a source stated, “but having his roles put on hold has been an extremely painful pill to chew.” “His greatest worry is that he’ll be entirely canceled, and there’s nothing he can do about it but sit back, take his punishment like a man, and attempt to atone in whatever way he can.”

Rock, for one, recently stated that he would not be discussing the topic in public at a recent stand-up performance. “Chris broke the ice by sarcastically claiming he’d had an interesting week,” an eyewitness told Us about his Saturday, April 2 performance in New Jersey. “Of course, everyone laughed because they understood what he was talking about.”
