Comedian Chris Rock shreds Will Smith with slap jokes

Sentinel Digital Desk

Almost a year after the infamous Oscars slap, comedian Chris Rock has finally addressed what happened in his live Netflix special, 'Selective Outrage'.

After an hour of new material, the comedian dove into what thousands of audience members had been waiting to hear, breaking down the aftermath of the on-stage smack between him and Oscar-winner Will Smith, reports Variety.

"You all know what happened to me, getting smacked by Suge Smith, everybody knows,” Rock said. "I got smacked like a year ago and people are like, 'Did it hurt?' It still hurts. I got 'Summertime' ringing in my ears."

Despite the pressure from the press, Rock is adamant that you won't see him dissecting it on a talk show. "I'm not a victim baby, you will never see me on Oprah or Gayle (King) crying. You will never see it. It's never going to happen.”

Why didn't he do anything after the slap? "Because I got parents," Rock explained. "I was raised. And you know what my parents taught me. Don't fight in front of white people." IANS
