Chris Rock takes daughters to dinner after hitting a pre-Oscar party… 2 years after that infamous SLAP which got Will Smith banned from the Academy Awards

Chris Rock took his daughters Lola, 21, and Zahra, 19, to dinner on Sunday.

The proud dad and his kids were seen leaving celebrity hot spot Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

Rock shares his daughters with his ex-wife Malaak Compton-Rock whom he married in 1996 and divorced in 2016.

This sighting comes after he hit the Creative Artist’s Agency’s annual pre-Oscar bash on Friday.

At the party, the Everybody Hates Chris alum, 59, posed for a picture with Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen, 52.

Oscar weekend must bring back painful memories for Rock.

It has been only two years since that infamous Will Smith, 55, slap. It is not known if Rock will be attending Sunday’s Academy Awards.

His kids are Lola, 21, and Zahra, 19; they both dressed up in cute outfits

When his daughters were very young (all the way back in 2007) Rock admitted he wasn’t a ‘cool dad’

Chris wore dark jeans with a black t-shirt and a lighter blue denim jacket at dinner,

His daughters both looked lovely in knee-length skirts with leather jackets and black boots.

The 96th Annual Academy Awards today takes place two years after The Bad Boys actor got out of his seat and walked onto the stage to slap Rock after he made a comment about Jada Pinkett Smith, 52.

The joke was about her shaved head, saying, ‘Jada, I love you, G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it!’ in a reference to the 1997 movie which featured Demi Moore with a shaved head. (Pinkett Smith has been diagnosed with alopecia, which causes hair loss.)

Smith then walked onstage and smacked Rock, then returned to his seat and shouted at him twice, ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth!’ to a stunned audience.

Later in the evening during his acceptance speech for winning the Best Actor Oscar for his role as tennis patriarch Richard Williams in King Richard – Smith apologized to the Academy and other nominees, but made no reference to Rock.

Smith subsequently apologized on multiple occasions over the incident, and resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ahead of being issued a 10-year ban from the Oscars.

When his daughters were very young (all the way back in 2007) Rock admitted he wasn’t a ‘cool dad.’

But he thinks becoming a father to his two girls made him a better comedian.

‘I think I’m a better artist. Everything I’ve done since I’ve had kids is better than the stuff I did before I had kids,’ he said in 2007.
