<p>Gilbert Gottfried&#8217;s final post on social media, before his death on Tuesday, was a show of support for his pal Chris Rock after the comedian was slapped at the 94th Academy Awards by actor Will Smith.</p>
<p>&#8220;Which is the worst crime?&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-gilbert-gottfried-dead-at-67">67-year-old comedian</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RealGilbert/status/1508624977855188993?s=20&amp;t=4BUiDZEhPlaY0vItmWzrLA">tweeted</a> on March 28 to his hundreds of thousands of followers after Smith walked on stage and struck the comedian in the face following Rock cracking a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s shaved head amid her hair loss battle.</p>
<p>&#8220;Chris Rock being physically assaulted or Chris Rock telling a joke?&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>Gottfried&#8217;s post included a picture of the two superstar comedians together. His post might have been the best description about the debate regarding the &#8220;Men In Black&#8221; star&#8217;s actions against the &#8220;Grown Ups&#8221; star at the annual awards show.</p>
<p>The very next post on the late comedian&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/RealGilbert/status/1513960910217486342?s=20&amp;t=4BUiDZEhPlaY0vItmWzrLA">Twitter account</a> was a heartbreaking message from his family sharing the news of his death on April 12.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried after a long illness,&#8221; the message read. &#8220;In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children. Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert&#8217;s honor. Love the Gottfried family.&#8221;</p>
