Since last year it was announced that Chris Rock I was preparing a comedy show titled “Selective outage”which would be broadcast live by Netflix. And after the premiere of the event on March 4 The comedian has already given something to talk about, because on stage he made many references to the conflict that existed between him and the actor Will Smithwho slapped him during the last awards ceremony oscar after Chris made a joke about Jada PinkettWill’s wife.
Rock didn’t hold back when it came to his comments to the Academy Award winner, calling him suggest Smith: “I am not a victim. You will never see me crying on (shows) Oprah Winfrey either Gayle King. That will never happen. I put up with that **** like (Manny) Pacquiao…Everyone says that “words hurt.” Anyone who says words hurt hasn’t been punched in the face…Everybody knows what happened to me, I was hit by Suge Smith about a year ago and people ask me: ‘Did it hurt?’ It still hurts. I have the song “Summertime” ringing in my ears.”
At times visibly upset, Chris also said that the show’s title was inspired by the slap and that he had nothing to do with Pinkett Smith’s affairs with another man, as he said on an episode of his show. “Red table talk”. According to him, things began to go wrong between the two since 2016, when he was the host of the Oscars. and Jada called for a boycott over the lack of diversity among the nominees. “I made jokes about it and she started all this sh*t.”
Chris Rock defended having remained silent for a long time, “because I have parents. I was raised. And do you know what my parents taught me? Don’t fight in front of the whites.” And despite everything she said she admires Smith: “I love Will Smith, all my life… he makes great movies. I have supported Will Smith all my life. I support this son of a ****. And now I watch (the movie) “Emancipation” just to see him suffer and scream.” “Selective Outrage” is now available on Netflix.
