On Saturday night, Chris Rock became the first artist to perform a live-streaming Netflix special when he debuted his new stand-up set Selective Outrage in Baltimore, Maryland.[0]<\/a><\/sup> This marked the streaming giant's first-ever live broadcast of a comedy special.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

During the show, Rock addressed the incident when Will Smith, 54, hit him onstage at last year's Academy Awards ceremony on March 27, 2022 after making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head while presenting an award that night.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Smith had publicly apologized to Rock the day after the Oscars via an Instagram post, writing, \u201cI would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.\u201d After several months, Smith issued a further apology on camera and disclosed that he had made contact with Rock.<\/p>\n

Rock then proceeded to discuss the incident, saying, \u201cI got smacked at the f—ing Oscars by this m—-f—er. And people are like, ‘Did it hurt?' It still hurts!\u201d[2]<\/a><\/sup> He then addressed the question he\u2019s gotten a lot since the slap, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you do anything back?\u201d to which he replied, \u201c\u2018Cause I got parents, that\u2019s why. You know what my parents taught me? Don\u2019t fight in front of white people.\u201d[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

In 2020, Pinkett Smith confessed to having an extramarital relationship with musician August Alsina on an installment of her web-series with her spouse.[4]<\/a><\/sup> Rock made several comments in his new show about people seeking attention by classifying themselves as victims, but said: \u201cI am not a victim. You will never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying. Never going to happen\u2026 I took that hit like [boxer Manny] Pacquiao. I took it like motherfucking Pacquiao. Did it hurt? Yeah motherfucker, it hurt.\u201d[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

He also joked, \u201cHe does movies with his shirt off.[4]<\/a><\/sup> You never see me in a movie with my shirt off. A movie starring Will Smith featured him as Muhammad Ali.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Did I audition for that part, in your opinion?[7]<\/a><\/sup> In “New Jack City,” I portrayed the character[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
