Chris Rock has finally addressed the 2022 Oscars ceremony incident where Will Smith slapped him on stage during his Netflix special “Selective Outrage.”Rock made a thinly veiled joke about the slap in his opening moments, joking that “anybody who says ‘Words hurt’ has never been punched in the face.”He then proceeded to avoid the subject for much of the special, focusing on topics such as “wokeness” and personal anecdotes. However, when he did confront the incident, he did not hold back, repeatedly referring to Smith as a “bitch.”He also dredged up infidelity in Will Smith’s marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith, and cited her as a catalyst in the contretemps. Smith had received a special award from the African American Critics Assn. days before the premiere of “Selective Outrage,” marking his first public appearance since the slap.
