Rock responds to Will Smith’s Oscar stunt: “Yeah bastard, that hurts”

Rock made a joke about Will Smith’s wife sitting in the room last year. The actor took the stage and gave Rock a right. Smith apologized a day later and is barred from attending the Oscars for ten years as punishment. Chris Rock has barely commented on the incident since then.

Check out images from last year here:

Until now, because Rock came back to it extensively last night on the live-streamed stand-up comedy show Selective Outrage on Netflix. “I’m trying to do a show tonight without offending anyone,” he began, adding, “Because you never know who might be triggered,” referencing Wil Smith at the Oscars.

“You know what happened to me. Getting hit by ‘suge’ Smith,” he remarked. “Everybody knows that. Everybody fucking knows that…I got hit at the Oscars by that asshole and people were like, ‘Does that hurt?’ It still hurts! I have ‘Summertime’ ringing in my ears!”, referencing this song by Smith:

“But I’m not a victim. You’ll never see me crying against Oprah or Gayle. You’ll never see it,” he said. I took this blow like Pacquiao (former boxer, editor’s note), asshole. I took it as Pacquiao, okay? Shit, man. Did it hurt? Yeah, asshole. It hurt. “

Rock accused Smith of “selective contempt” by punching him. He was talking about marital issues that Smith and his wife Pinkett discussed publicly. Pinkett Smith admitted to having an affair. Rock: “She hurt him more than he hurt me.”

Rock said he saw Will Smith’s Emancipation, a film about slavery. He joked that he was cheering when he saw Smith getting beaten up in the film. “Once more, once more. You didn’t hit him everywhere,” Rock allegedly shouted during a fight scene in the film.

don’t reply

Rock ended his show by saying why he didn’t fight back when Smith punched him. “Do you know what my parents taught me? Never fight in front of white people.”

Will Smith did not respond to a request for comment on Rock’s show, Reuters news agency reports.
