Chris Rock lets loose on Will Smith Oscars slap: ‘Did it hurt? It still hurts!’
Chris Rock accused Will Smith of “practicing selective outrage” and mocked the infidelity rumours surrounding the ‘King Richard’ star and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith in his first public comments since being slapped at the Oscars by the actor.
The 58-year-old comic explained how the title for his Netflix stand-up special — the broadcaster’s first ever live global streaming event — had connections to the ‘Men in Black’ actor because he speculated on how Smith lashed out at him as a result of “practicing selective outrage” and poked fun at the ‘Girl’s Trip’ actress’ 2020 admission she had had an “entanglement” with singer August Alsina while she and her husband were on a break, a revelation the pair later discussed on her ‘Red Table Talk’ show.
Speaking on the ‘Chris Rock: Selective Outrage’ show, the comedian said: “Will Smith practices selective outrage. Everybody that really knows knows I had nothing to do with that s***. I didn’t have any ‘entanglements.
