When Comedy Bites Back: Chris Rock’s Explosive Will Smith Revelations
Nearly a year has passed since the shocking Oscar slap-gate incident, a moment that went viral faster than any meme on the internet. But for those who thought the dust had settled, they were in for a rude awakening. As reported by FandomWire in 2023, during Chris Rock’s recent Netflix special, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, he didn’t mince words or hold back any punches.
Rock on the Slap and the G.I. Joe Joke Fallout
For context, Rock, during the 94th Academy Awards, had cracked a playful G.I. Joe joke, alluding to Jada Pinkett Smith’s then-bald look. Little did he know that this quip would earn him a now-infamous slap from Jada’s husband, the “Fresh Prince” himself, Will Smith.

“Will Smith practices selective outrage. For everybody who doesn’t know, his wife was f*cking her son’s friend. She hurt him way more than he hurt me. OK?” Rock remarked, addressing the controversial affair between Jada Pinkett Smith and August Alsina, a topic that the Smiths had once candidly discussed in their 2020’s Red Table Talk. The comment, bold and brazen, threw some shade on the couple’s ‘entanglement’ issues.

But Jada’s affair wasn’t the only juicy tidbit Rock served up. He also commented on rumors suggesting that Jada had body-shamed Will, urging him to get into better shape, especially around the gorgeous Margot Robbie. “‘Jada saw Margot was young and hot and in shape’”, Rock quipped, hinting at a possible undercurrent of insecurity from Jada’s end. After all, Margot Robbie and Will Smith had quite the on-screen chemistry, didn’t they?
Admiration Turns Bitter
Despite the sass and jibes, there were moments when Rock expressed genuine admiration for Will Smith. He praised him for the impressive roster of movies the actor has been a part of over the years. But true to his comedic style, Rock couldn’t resist making another dig. He mentioned watching Smith’s Emancipation just for the scenes where Smith’s character gets beaten. “I watch ‘Emancipation’ just to see him get whooped,” he stated, adding a dash of humor to the tense narrative.

All said and done, Rock’s Selective Outrage feels like a no-holds-barred take on the whole slap saga and the intertwined lives of the Smiths. While Will has previously extended his apologies to Rock, only time will tell how he reacts to this fresh pot of steaming revelations.
For those wanting to catch all the drama firsthand, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage is now streaming on Netflix.
