Chris Rock Places All The Blame On The Will Smith Slap On Jada Pinkett Smith And ‘Red Table Talk’: “Everybody Called Him A Bitch!

We’re just shy of being one year removed from the most infamous moment in Oscar history, and possibly live television itself: The Slap. And ever since Will Smith hauled back and whacked Chris Rock upside the face after the world’s most innocuous G.I. Jane joke, we’ve been waiting for Chris Rock to tell his side of the story. So, as we site here in March of 2023, who ended up getting the scoop? Gayle King? Diane Sawyer? Oprah Winfrey? Nope, that honor went to Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, who paid Rock a reported $20 million for the special that would ultimately be named Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, which debuted live on the streaming giant tonight.

Rock’s latest hilarious stand-up special touched on everything from the Kardashians to Lululemon, from America’s addiction to opioids (and attention!) to Elon Musk’s “negative cum” levels, from abortions to Meghan Markle (“The Royals are the Sugarhill Gang of racism”), but what everyone was really waiting for was his take on Will Smith. And Rock didn’t fail to deliver.

“It still hurts, I got ‘Summertime’ ringin’ in my ears,” Rock says about whether or not The Slap hurt. “I took that hit like Pacquiao.” That said, “I’m not a victim, you will NEVER see me on Oprah, Gayle.” You see, Rock spent a good chunk of his special talking about our current national overdose of victimhood, which he describes as “selective outrage” — the titular joke, if you will! — and explains how he did nothing to earn that beatdown.

So why did Smith slap him? “His wife was fucking her son’s friend,” Rock proclaimed to oohs and aahs, referring of course to the “entanglements” with August Alsina that Jada Pinkett Smith addressed on Red Table Talk with Smith himself. “Everybody in here been cheated on, but NONE OF US have ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television. ‘Hey, I was suckin’ someone else’s dick. How’d that make you feel?’ She hurt him WAY more than he hurt me … everybody called him a bitch. And who’s he hit? Me! A n**** he know he can beat. That’s some bitch ass shit!”

Rock also told a version of the Emancipation slavery joke that was flying around the Internet for the last few days (“Got me rootin’ for massa!”), but blew the delivery a bit when he got its title confused with another Will Smith movie, Concussion.

Last things last, why didn’t Rock respond and slap Smith back on Oscar night? “Because I’ve got parents! And you know what my parents taught me? Don’t fight in front of white people!”

And with that, Chris Rock dropped the mic. Literally.
