Chris Rock has finally let loose about the slap seen around the world.

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.

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…

The first of the year’s offerings in that stead comes courtesy of Lifetime’s gripping drama ‘Girl in the Closet.’
