Chris Rock slapped by Will Smith

During his Netflix special "Selective Outrage," Chris Rock finally addressed the controversial Will Smith Oscars slap incident, publicly speaking out about it for the first time. In the final minutes of his set, the 58-year-old comedian launched a scathing attack on the 54-year-old actor and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 51, nearly a year after the incident took place. Rock referenced former rapper Suge Knight, who is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter in 2018, as he addressed the infamous incident over an hour into his set.

"You all know what happened to me, getting smacked by Suge Smith," he began. "Everybody knows! Everybody f------ knows! Yes, it happened. I got smacked. A year ago, I got slapped at the f------ Oscars by this motherf------ and people are like, ‘Did it hurt?’ It still hurts! I got ‘Summertime’ ringing in my ear! But I'm not a victim. You will never see me on Oprah or Gayle, crying."

He continued, "No, it's never gonna happen. No. F--- that s---., I took that hit like Pacquiao motherf-----!"

Rock went on to remark on their size difference, noting, "Will Smith is significantly bigger than me. We are not the same size."

"This guy does his movies with his shirt off!" Rock exclaimed. "You've never seen me do a movie with my shirt off. If I'm in a movie getting open-heart surgery, I got on a sweater. Will Smith played Muhammed Ali in a movie. You think I auditioned for that part? I played Pookie in 'New Jack City.' I played a piece of corn in "Pootie Tang"…even in animation, he's bigger. I'm a zebra, he's a shark."

Chris Rock accuses Smith of Selective Outrage

As he accused Smith of practicing "selective outrage" and referred to Jada's "entanglements," Rock made a pointed reference to the title of his special. He called out the couple by name, accusing them of hypocrisy and dishonesty in their public personas.

"And for people who don't know what everybody knows — Will Smith, his wife was f------ her son's friend," Rock said.

"We all been cheated on. Everybody have been cheated on. None of us have ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television," he said. "She hurt him way more than he hurt me."

"Everybody in the world called him a b----," he added. "I tried to call the motherf----- and give him my condolences; he ain’t pick up for me. Everybody called that man a b----, f------ Charlamagne [tha God] called him a b----, "The Breakfast Club" called him a b----- and "The View" and "The Talk," and every rapper, they called him a b----, his wife a predator, everybody called him a b----. Everybody! Everybody! And who does he hit? Me!"

During his Netflix special, Chris Rock also accused Jada Pinkett Smith of telling him not to host the Oscars after her husband Will Smith was not nominated for his performance in the 2015 film "Concussion." Rock suggested that Jada was trying to use her influence to punish the Academy for snubbing her husband.
