As seen by millions, if not billions, the comic was left stunned after Will Smith laid the smackdown on him live on the Oscars 2022 telecast in one of the most infamous occurrences in television history.

A joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett is what set off a chain of events (and sayings) that are forever etched into the consciousness of Pop culture (“keep my wife’s name out of your motherf*cking mouth!”)

And now, after a calculated silence (of sorts), Rock turned the volume up on his the entire situation in a first-of-its-kind live-streamed Netflix comedy special.

Chris Rock destroying Will Smith is already legendary, and it just happened hours ago.
Rock looks like he’s fine, but Will ain’t ever recovering from this.

Christened ‘Selective Outrage,’ the hotly anticipated event saw Rock wax candid about a whole host of topics. But central to the broadcast was, of course, his remarks about the slap, The Smiths, and everything related.

Head below for word on what was said…

After a string of jokes aimed at Elon Musk, the Kardashians, OJ Simpson, Meghan Markle, and Michael Jackson that many social media users said fell flat, Rock got onto what most tuned in to hear about.

Speaking bluntly, he said, “It hurt.”

Labeling the ‘King Richard’ star “Suge Smith,” he continued:

“It still hurts, I got ‘Summertime’ ringing in my ears, but I’m not a victim. You will never see me on Oprah crying …no. It’s never gonna happen No, f*ck this, I took that hit like Pacquiao.”

He continued:

“Smith practices selective outrage … selective outrage because everybody knows what the f*ck happened. Everybody that really knows-knows I had nothing to do with that sh*t. I didn’t have any entanglements. An entanglement, for people that don’t know what everybody else will, it is his wife was f*cking her son’s friend. OK. Now I normally would not talk about this sh*t. But for some reason these [n-words] put that sh*t on the internet. I have no idea why two talented people would do something that fucking lowdown — what the f*ck?”

And…

“Why would you do that sh*t. She hurt him way more than he hurt me. Okay, and by the way he does this. Everybody in the world called him a b*tch. I tried to call the mother*cker …and he wouldn’t pick up for me. Everybody called that man up …everybody called him a b*tch. Everybody, and whose he hit? Me. A (n-word) he knew he could beat, that is some b*tch ass sh*t.”

Then shots were aimed at Jada Pinkett, who Rock claims was the true cause of the chaos:

“She started this sh*t. Nobody was picking on her. She said of me, a f*cking grown ass man should quit his job (as the 2016 Oscar host) because her husband didn’t get nominated for Concussion. And then this (n-word) gives me a f*cking concussion.

What the f*ck, man?

I love Will Smith my whole life. I love this (n-word). I saw him open up for Run DMC at Nassau Coliseum. These (n-word) made brand new funk. I love this (n-word). He’s made some great movies I have rooted for Will Smith my whole life. I root for this mother*cker. Okay, and now I watch Emancipation just to see him get whopped. Got me rootin for massa, okay? Now hit him again, massa. Hit him again. You missed a spot massa, you missed a spot.”

Concluding the set, which he’s been workshopping for months at shows that don’t permit cameras – the 58-year-old said:

“A lot of people go, ‘Chris, how come you didn’t do nothing back’ How come you didn’t go back that night?’ Because I got parents. That’s why,” he declared. “I got parents, and you know what my parents taught me: Don’t fight in front of white people.” 

Responses on social media were mixed. With that though, what are…
