The comedian opens up about the infamous moment with Will Smith at last year's Academy Awards.

Broadcast live from Baltimore, the comic's new special 'Selective Outrage' saw him go at his Oscar-winning slapper for ten straight minutes.

And by the way, he does that shit and everybody in the world called him a bitch. “Everybody that really knows knows I had nothing to do with that shit. I did not have any ‘entanglements,’” he said. “Why the fuck would you do that shit?” Rock asked. I played a piece of corn in Pootie Tang!” 6 riot, Meghan Markle, the Kardashians, abortion, and how Elon Musk’s body “looks so weird” due to a lack of sperm from getting his dick sucked all the time, Rock addressed the elephant in the room over the course of ten minutes.

Chris Rock ended his live Netflix stand-up special with a 10-minute segment on Will Smith, saying he's "still hurt" by it, but he's "not a victim.

We won’t know this, but I bet you Will Smith slaps the fuck out of a TV tonight,” he joked. “I cannot emphasize how live things are today,” The Daily Show correspondent said. The last thing I need is another mad rapper,” he added, to cheers from the crowd. “Every commercial has a mixed-race couple,” adding that he saw a commercial the other day where a Japanese woman was married to a caterpillar. “I saw a commercial the other day where Snoop was selling reverse mortgages.” But he made it a purpose to note that he loves Snoop Dogg. “‘Cause I got parents,” Rock said. “There’s no Black couples either,” he said. “Did you see the Capitol Riots? I have rooted for Will Smith my whole life,” Rock said. “Everybody called him a bitch, and who did he hit? It still hurts,” adding, “but I’m not a victim, baby.

I have rooted for Will Smith my whole life, I rooted for this motherfucker.” Rock said. After yelling at Rock from the audience, Smith took to the stage to smack Rock. The comedian went on to reveal that the title of his show was also inspired by the slap, “Will Smith practices Selective Outrage.” Rock said. Broadcasting live from Baltimore, MD at the Hippodrome Theatre, Rock’s presentation was bolstered by a live show hosted by comedian Ronny Chieng (who was also broadcasting live from the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, CA). I tried to call the motherfucker, I tried to call that man and give him my condolences, he didn’t pick up for me.” The comedian then went on to list off all the people in Hollywood who called Smith a “bitch” after the aforementioned interview including “The View,” “The Breakfast Club,” “Drink Champs” and so on. And after this interview Rock implies that, “everybody in the world called him a bitch.

And Rock closed the show with an answer to the question some watching the Oscars may have wondered about: "A lot of people go, 'Chris, how come you didn't do nothing back?' Because I've got parents! "Then he gave me a concussion." It marked the first time Netflix streamed a live special globally. Even in animation, he's bigger: I'm a zebra, he's a shark." When the audience reeled, Rock quickly added, "No no no, back to the show." "But I'm not a victim, baby. Speaking about insults, he said, "Everybody who says words hurt has never been punched in the face." I got summertime ringing in my ears!"

"Selective Outrage," Chris Rock's big live standup special on Netflix was a big disappointment, our critic says.

Clad in all white and wearing Prince's love symbol around his neck, Rock did not get into his rhythm until the show was practically over, when he began a blazing rant about Smith and adamantly denied being a victim. But Rock is the power now. Even personal material about dating in his 50s after a divorce is so similar to his 2018 special "Tambourine," it feels a bit like self-plagiarism. It was embarrassing to watch Rock complain about the kids with their wokeness and their social media and their feelings. He doesn't have to like the people he talks about. However, Rock, like many of the

Chris Rock, in his live Netflix comedy special on Saturday, slammed Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith one year after the infamous Oscar slap.

[opened up](https://people.com/movies/jada-pinkett-smith-reveals-past-romantic-relationship-august-alsina/) about having an "entanglement" with singer August Alsina years ago while she and Will were on a break. The comedian then went on to repeatedly call Will a "bitch." Nobody was pickin' on her." He added, "You know what my parents taught me? Though he said he grew up loving and "rooting for" Will, Rock took time in his routine to slam him and his marriage. Will was not nominated for the film Concussion that year. Everybody in this industry has been cheated on," joked Rock in the comedy special, "None of us have ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television. I didn't have any 'entanglements.' "

Nearly a year after Smith smacked the comedian across the face at the Academy Awards, Rock gave the stunning episode the full stand-up treatment.

At the Oscars ceremony last year, Smith climbed onstage and smacked Rock on live television shortly after the comedian made a joke about the buzzed hairstyle of Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia, a condition that leads to hair loss. “’Cause I got parents, that’s why. “Will Smith does movies with his shirt off,” said Rock, pacing the stage in his white outfit. I got parents. ’Cause I was raised. At times, Rock made himself the target of his own jokes, noting Smith’s larger build.

Almost a year after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards, the comedian tells his version of the event.

He talked about women, He talked about Meghan Markle. [Someone] he knows he can beat.” “Everybody called him a b----,” he said. on the internet,” Rock said, referencing the couple’s public remarks about the infidelity in their relationship. Rock, who said he took the hit like boxer Manny Pacquiao, blamed Pinkett Smith’s “entanglements” for Smith’s outburst.

A year after he was slapped on stage at the Academy Awards, Chris Rock hammered Will Smith and his wife in a comedy special streamed live around the world, ...

Netflix agreed to pay $40 million for two Rock comedy specials under a deal reached in 2016, according to a person familiar with the matter. The academy banned Smith from attending the Oscars for 10 years. In March 2022, Smith walked on to the Oscars stage and slapped Rock's face after the comedian made a joke about the appearance of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. "Don't fight in front of white people." Pinkett Smith said she was protesting the fact that Will Smith and other Black actors were not nominated. "I didn't have any entanglements," Rock said.

The comedian stepped to the Netflix stage to clap back at the Smiths, resurrect jokes about Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson, discuss Megan Markle and take ...

But now a year after the assaults happened, I was surprised at the vehemence of what Rock said and how he explained it. There were moments of the evening where I truly guffawed (when he said he didn’t want to make any other rappers mad,) moments where I shook my head (the colorism jokes specifically) and moments where I was reminded why Rock is one of the best in comedy. Prior to the standup, Rock’s friends gathered for a pre-show to gas him up, to roast him and to show him appreciation. And Arsenio Hall told a nice story about Rock appearing on the Arsenio Hall Show, which was popular in the 1990s. The night ended with Rock dropping the mic, raising his hands high and soaking in the applause. Then he ended the evening by saying the whole incident was started by Jada Smith, before he proceeded to call Jada Smith out of her name. But the real groundbreaking moment here was that Netflix provided a stage and a mic so the world could tune in to possibly see how Rock might, in the words of the playground kids, get his licks back at Will Smith. He talked of his exwife, the economics of light skin privilege, colorism, interracial dating, Ukraine, a hard to listen to bit about abortion and sex. Through pointy self-deprecation and double entendre, Rock didn’t disappoint in that aspect. The comedian stepped to the Netflix stage to clap back at the Smiths, resurrect jokes about Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson, discuss Megan Markle and take aim at some new interpretations of woke culture and victimhood. The running joke was that he was doing a comedy show on Saturday Night. He showcased his signature narrative style by weaving stories about Elon Musk’s ejaculate, his parenting style with daughter Lola and the financial implications of dating women in their 40s and 50s.

In his Netflix global live stream event, Rock made audiences wait before spilling the tea on the Slap.

“I know you can’t tell on camera, but Will Smith is significantly bigger than me,” said Rock, another joke he tested at The Cellar. “I need you to kick her black ass out of this school,” he said. I got ‘Summertim’ ringing in my ears,” he said, retelling a joke he recently tried out at The Comedy Cellar. “Ladies I will lick your ass and never call you again,” he said. “The thing I have a problem with is the selective outrage.” He then gave a definition of the phenomenon: ”One person does something they get canceled. “Anybody who says that words hurt has never been punched in the face,” said Rock at the top of his set. “The last thing I need is another mad rapper,” Rock said as the punch lines to both jokes, foreshadowing what was to come with Smith. “I have no problem with wokeness. I have no problem with it at all. "“You are the shit. You are the goat. After basking in the glow, Rock screamed, "Nigga, sit down” at an apparently overly enthusiastic audience member, proving that what we were watching was, in fact, live.

Comedian lays into victimhood, Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband during his new standup show, saying 'she hurt him way more than he hurt me'

I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.” Months later, he said he had reached out to Rock but “he’s not ready to talk”. He said he did not retaliate on the night “because I got parents. “I loved Will Smith, my whole life I loved him. None of us have ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television … I have rooted for Will Smith my whole life. [they] put that shit on the internet. Me,” he added, to laughter. After yelling at Rock from his seat, Smith walked on stage to smack Rock in the face. And everybody really knows I had nothing to do with that shit. [Rock performed in Boston](https://variety.com/2022/film/news/chris-rock-responds-will-smith-oscars-slap-1235218763/) but said on stage then: “I’m still kind of processing what happened. I didn’t have any ‘entanglements’,” he said, referring to Pinkett Smith’s description of the affair she had with rapper August Alsina while married to Smith. “Will Smith played Muhammad Ali in a movie.

Almost a year later, Chris Rock is still seething about 'The Slap' and he told an audience how much he now despises Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

I also loved his observation that the January 6, riots were "white men trying to overthrow the government...that they (already) run." Parts of the special seemed calibrated to tweak stereotypically liberal sensibilities, with Rock insisting, "Anybody that says 'Words hurt,' has never been punched in the face." For an hour, Rock held forth on an array of topics, some of which felt like they could have come from a special years ago – including jokes about the Kardashians, O.J. It was a dramatic end to a standup special that often felt less groundbreaking than the hype surrounding it suggested. On why the power of women's beauty gives them dominance over men: "Beyonce is so fine, that if she worked at Burger King, she could still marry Jay-Z. "I'm not a victim, baby...you will never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying," the comic said. One reason Smith may have been able to rebuild his image somewhat, is because Rock wasn't speaking publicly about the incident — so the guy who was slapped wasn't giving his perspective. "It still hurts." Eventually, he got the punchline out: "She said a grown a-- man should quit his job because [her husband] didn't get nominated for Concussion. Rock also said he was once a huge fan of Smith's, but the slap had him watching the actor's movies, like his Civil War-era drama Emancipation, much differently. A n---- he knows he can beat [up]." "They called his wife a predator...And who's he hit?

He added that he was "still kind of processing what happened." "I love Will Smith," added Rock. Genius." "Don't fight in front of white people." "I did not have any entanglements," said Rock. "You've got to give it to the tech companies for inventing something that existed for decades," said Chieng. "And you know what my parents taught me?" "I played Pookie in New Jack City." "The last thing I need is another mad rapper." The comedian on Saturday referenced Pinkett Smith's earlier confessions of having an "entanglement" with another man while married. "You will never see me do a movie with my shirt off. "Anybody who says words hurt hasn't been punched in the face."

No one was safe from getting roasted during Chris Rock's Netflix special with the comedian going after celebs and corporations like Lululemon.

They hate somebody. Who gives a f–k?,. “I saw a sign at the athleisure clothing store Lululemon decrying racism and hatred.

He essentially painted Will Smith as a cowardly cuckold puffing his chest for his wife, who caught even more vitriol than her husband in the live set that ...

Not a comedic bone in his body could muster up a gag about the prince who set his wife up for punishment knowing full well how his family operates, the Prince who keeps declaring that he’s moving on from the Royal Family while finding endless ways to profit from his proximity to them. He painted Pinkett-Smith’s general call for a boycott as a demand directed specifically at Rock to step down as host. Near the end of the one-hour special, when Rock finally went in on the Smiths, he flubbed a joke about Pinkett-Smith’s proposed Oscar boycott the year her husband wasn’t nominated for Concussion. They gave her the hate they would never have for Jay-Z when it was revealed he cheated on Beyoncé. Rock also seemed to be going a little harder with his energy and exaggerated delivery throughout the night. A bit about Lululemon virtue-signalling with the company’s anti-racist store signage while selling $100 yoga pants, which Rock describes as hostile to the poor, was actually fun. He made Smith the prime example for his show’s title, Selective Outrage, explaining that the actor only took his anger out on the comedian because Rock is so physically small. Rock chose to air out his feelings during the live special, which was the first of its kind for Netflix. He repackaged the arguments made by so many online commentators, who tore into Smith for taking his aggression over his marital problems out on Rock. That setup at Baltimore’s Hippodrome theatre gave this highly anticipated round of insults the air of a sporting event, a fight night even, complete with pregame and postgame shows. Smith, who later that evening won his first Oscar for his performance in King Richard, stormed the stage and smacked Rock, the bass-heavy oomph heard across the world.
