It's been a year since the 2022 Oscars' slap heard 'round the world, and the recipient of said slap, comedian Chris Rock, has finally addressed the infamous moment in a stand up special for Netflix. The special, titled "Selective Outrage," tackled hot topics such as "wokeness," racism and addiction, but Rock saved his comments about Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith until the last 10 minutes of his set. After some not-safe-for-morning-TV kind of jokes, Rock said the slap was more about the couple's relationship than him. He also said you won't see him sitting down to talk about the incident with the likes of Oprah, saying "it will never happen."

Chris Rock Slaps Back in Netflix Stand Up Special 

Meanwhile, it's been a year since that infamous slap heard around the world happened at the Oscars. A comedian, Chris Rock finally addressed the altercation with Will Smith in Netflix's first live global streaming event rock stand up special called selective outrage, tackled hot topics like wokeness, racism and addiction. But he did save his comments about Will and Jada for the last 10 minutes of the set after some not safe for morning TV kind of jokes. The comedian ultimately suggested the slap was more about their relationship than him. He also went on to say that you won't see him sitting down to talk about it with the likes of Oprah or Gayle King saying quote, it'll never happen. So I watched this over the weekend one. It was amazing to sort of see Netflix make a live special with even a post show. Yeah, they made a big deal with a pre show and post show. At the very end. I thought it was actually really well done and it was amazing because he really went after Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. At the end, there were reports that he was going to bring up an alleged affair that she was having. And that, and, and his whole argument was essentially that Will Smith was taking out all the anger and frustration he has about Jada Pinkett Smith on him that he has nothing to do with this whatsoever. He actually had so much respect for Will Smith going into this. He's a big supporter of Will Smith. He loved and championed all of his movies. But then he just went after him and he just said for no reason whatsoever that he needed to make a public statement about this.
