A year after Will Smith smacked him on-stage at the Academy Awards, Chris Rock finally gave his rebuttal in a forceful stand-up special, which was streamed live on Netflix.
, streamed live on Netflix, in which the comedian bragged that he"took that hit like Pacquiao."
"You never know who might get triggered," said Rock."Anybody who says words hurt hasn't been punched in the face." While Smith has apologized and repeatedly spoken about the incident since last March, Rock has avoided all the usual platforms where celebrities often go to air their feelings. He never sat down with Oprah Winfrey, and turned away the many media outlets that would have loved to land an exclusive in-depth interview.
"We are not the same size. This guy does movies with his shirt off," said Rock."You will never see me do a movie with my shirt off. If I'm in a movie getting open-heart surgery, I got on a sweater."Ultimately, Rock suggested he was just caught in the crossfire in Smith's relationship with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. It was a joke that Rock told about Pinkett Smith that prompted Smith to stride on stage and strike Rock.
After plenty of processing, Rock retook the cultural spotlight just a week before the March 12 Oscars, where the slap is sure to revisited by this year's host, Jimmy Kimmel. In the aftermath of last year's events, Smith resigned his membership to the film academy.
