... and hits back at Will Smith in Netflix livestream
LOS ANGELES - Chris Rock finally hit back at Will Smith on Saturday in a brutal stand-up routine, a year after the actor slapped him in front of a global TV audience for the Oscars.
The comedian came out swinging, accusing the Hollywood star of ‘selective outrage’ when he reacted to a jibe about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head and saying Smith lashed out at a shorter man because he was annoyed his wife had cheated on him. “Will Smith practices selective outrage,” Rock told an audience in a show that was streamed live on Netflix.

The ‘Men in Black’ star mounted the stage and slapped the comedian hard across the face, before returning to his seat and yelling obscenities at the presenter. A few minutes later, Smith was presented with an Oscar for best actor for his role in ‘King Richard’.
Rock was praised for his measured response on the night, and has maintained near silence on the issue in the year since.
But on Saturday night’s livestream from Baltimore, he let rip.
“People ask ‘Did it hurt?’. It still hurts,” he said. “Will Smith is significantly bigger than me. Will Smith played Muhammad Ali in a movie. You think I auditioned for that?”
