Chris Rock Says Will Smith Has “Selective Outrage” With Oscars Slap During Netflix Comedy Special – E! Online

Chris claimed that multiple people expressed negative feelings toward Will after Jada’s confirmation of her entanglement with August went live.

“Everybody in the world called him a bitch. I tried to call the mother–ker and give him my condolences he didn’t pick up for me,” Chris said. “Everybody called that man a bitch. They called his wife a predator. And who’s he hit? Me, a n—- he knows he can beat. That is some bitch-a– s–t.”

E! News reached out to Will and Jada’s reps for comments, and did not hear back.

Following the infamous slap, Will publicly apologized during his acceptance speech for for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the awards show and online.

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” Will wrote on Instagram March 28. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”

Will continued by addressing Chris directly in his message, writing, “I 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. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”
