Chris Rock plans to address Will Smith Oscar slap in live Netflix special
Fox News
Nearly a year after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock live during the Academy Awards, the "Everybody Hates Chris" comedian plans to address it for the first time in his Netflix special.
The "Spiral" star has mostly stayed mum on the attack except for jokes he has been trying out on stand-up audiences in his "Ego Death World Tour."
In July, Rock joked he was slapped by "Suge Smith," comparing Smith to the former Death Row Records co-founder, Marion "Suge" Knight. Knight is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter in 2018 following a fatal confrontation in Los Angeles in 2015.
