Chris Rock unleashed a year of pent-up rage after being slapped across the face by actor Will Smith in his new stand-up comedy special Saturday night.
The dramatic moment occurred on air during the 2022 Oscars ceremony after Rock, who was hosting the event, made a comment about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair.
But in his live stand-up special, Rock, 58, claimed that anybody who really knew about the circumstances surrounding the slap knew that it wasn’t actually about him — as he accused Smith, 54, of ‘selective outrage,’ lashing out because his wife had an affair.
