Joe Rogan's comments on the Will Smith incident lead to the resurfacing of the video of Dana White slapping his wife

Dana White is in trouble after Joe Rogan's comments on the Will Smith incident. In a recent conversation with Adam Sandler, Rogan stated that the infamous incident related to Will Smith is the center of attention. Rogan emphasized that even after so many days since Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, people still remember the actor for the slap. Rogan also mentioned that an infamous slap tarnished the legacy of the actor who gave us amazing movies like Aladdin and others.

Joe Rogan commented on the Will Smith incident, saying, “It's like a guy just showing his ass… why did you do that? He probably wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks, 'Why did I do that? The guy is an incredible actor… but when people see him, they think, 'Oh, he slapped Chris Rock.'” Well, while such a statement provided insight into the Chris Rock incident, fans took the opportunity to attack Joe Rogan for ignoring Dana White.

As soon as Rogan's clip went viral, online fans started talking about a resurfaced video of Dana White slapping his wife. In a video from January last year, Dana White and his wife Anne were spotted in a heated brawl at a nightclub. During the course of their fight, White slapped his wife, causing a worldwide uproar.

To counter the wave of criticism, Dana White immediately turned to TMZ and apologized in an exclusive interview, emphasizing the importance of being with the children.

White further stated that they showed the clip to their children and made it clear to them that there is no love between White and Anne. In protest against such an action, fans online called out Joe Rogan for not choosing to speak about the incident with Dana White. In fact, the friendship between Dana White and Joe Rogan is well known.

Speaking about Rogan, the UFC boss stated: Rogan worked without pay for the UFC's first 13 events. White also recalled an incident when several people called on Rogan to quit the UFC after he made controversial comments about vaccinations. Dana White surprised everyone by threatening to leave the UFC if Joe Rogan was eliminated.

So it's obvious that Rogan left out the Dana White slapping fiasco on his show. However, as the protests become more intense, it remains to be seen how well Rogan can handle the situation going forward.
