Chris Rock

Chris Rock took aim at Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith in his latest stand-up comedy special, "Selective Outrage" mocking the couple's public ...

The 58-year-old comic explained how the title for his Netflix stand-up special had connections to the 'Men in Black' actor because he speculated on how Will ...

He said: "I did some jokes about her. "I love Will Smith … I took that hit like Pacquiao, motherf*****." Me, a n**** he knows he can beat. I rooted for Will Smith my whole life. That's how it is: She starts it, I finish it. "We all been cheated on. Repeatedly branding the star a "b****", he quipped: "Everybody. Everybody in this industry has been cheated on. Everybody that really knows knows I had nothing to do with that s***. Now, I normally would not talk about this s***, but for some reason, these n***** put that s*** on the internet. I have no idea why two people that talented would do something that low-down.

Almost a year later, Netflix's Chris Rock: Selective Outrage tells another part of the story.

"Because I got parents,” Rock explained. "I have rooted for Will Smith my whole life. "I tried to call the m***********. "I love Will Smith, my whole life… I tried to call that man and give him my condolences. “Everybody in the world called him a b****," Rock said. Rock touched upon it when he said "Everybody who really knows, knows I had nothing to do with that s***. I didn't have any 'entanglements.'" I got ‘Summertime’ ringing in my ears.” Will Smith played Muhammad Ali in a movie. “I got smacked like a year ago… Everybody f****** knows,” Rock said.

Almost a year later, Chris Rock is still seething about 'The Slap' and he told an audience how much he now despises Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

I also loved his observation that the January 6, riots were "white men trying to overthrow the government...that they (already) run." Parts of the special seemed calibrated to tweak stereotypically liberal sensibilities, with Rock insisting, "Anybody that says 'Words hurt,' has never been punched in the face." For an hour, Rock held forth on an array of topics, some of which felt like they could have come from a special years ago – including jokes about the Kardashians, O.J. It was a dramatic end to a standup special that often felt less groundbreaking than the hype surrounding it suggested. On why the power of women's beauty gives them dominance over men: "Beyonce is so fine, that if she worked at Burger King, she could still marry Jay-Z. "I'm not a victim, baby...you will never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying," the comic said. One reason Smith may have been able to rebuild his image somewhat, is because Rock wasn't speaking publicly about the incident — so the guy who was slapped wasn't giving his perspective. "It still hurts." Eventually, he got the punchline out: "She said a grown a-- man should quit his job because [her husband] didn't get nominated for Concussion. Rock also said he was once a huge fan of Smith's, but the slap had him watching the actor's movies, like his Civil War-era drama Emancipation, much differently. A n---- he knows he can beat [up]." "They called his wife a predator...And who's he hit?

In a recent Netflix stand-up special, Chris Rock finally responded to Will Smith's physical assault on the Academy Awards stage a year ago.

With “Selective Outrage,” the comedy legend breaks his silence on Hollywood and his Oscars altercation with Will Smith.

The selective outrage that allows luxury brands to tout their anti-racism stance while using exploitative labor practices, and allows bad actors to shield themselves by co-opting the language of social justice. The severity of their actions may differ—blindly marrying into royalty is considerably less destructive than attempting to overthrow the government—but Rock’s targets are united by what he considers hypocrisy. “The last thing I need is another mad rapper,” he says as he ponders Snoop Dogg’s excess of endorsement deals and pokes fun at Jay-Z’s ability to attract a woman as sublime as Beyoncé.

Chris Rock has criticised Meghan Markle over her Royal Family racism claims during his new Netflix comedy special 'Selective Outrage'

“I know her dilemma: Black girl trying to be accepted by her white in-laws. It’s very hard, but it ain’t as hard as a white girl trying to be accepted by her Black in-laws. It was just some in-law shit. That’s the Royal Family, you didn’t Google those motherfuckers? He added she “seems like a nice lady – just complaining. Like, didn’t she hit the light-skinned lottery?

Chris Rock's Netflix comedy special 'Selective Outrage' aired live on March 3. Here are all the jokes he made about Will Smith and the 2022 Oscars slap.

“None of us have ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television.” He added that he tried to call Smith to express his condolences during a time when everyone was calling him a bitch. The comedian claimed that he has rooted for Smith his whole life, but now watches [Emancipation](https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/will-smith-emancipation-trailer-release-date.html) and finds himself “rooting for massa” to hit Smith, who plays an escaped slave. According to Rock, no one was picking on Jada, who he feels actually “started this shit.” She previously called for a boycott of the 2016 Oscars due to a lack of diversity among nominees, which Rock characterized as her telling him to quit his job because her husband wasn’t nominated for his role in Concussion.

A year after Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars, Rock responded fiercely in a new stand-up special, Netflix's first experiment in live entertainment.

Describing his jokes about Smith’s wife at the ceremony in 2016, he put it bluntly: “She started it. Here, he offers his theory on Will Smith, which is essentially that the slap was an act of displacement, shifting his anger from his wife cheating on him and broadcasting it onto Rock. The way his fury became directed at Pinkett Smith makes you wonder if this was also a kind of displacement. “She hurt him way more than he hurt me,” Rock said, using his considerable powers of description to describe the humiliation of Smith in a manner that seemed designed to do it again. There’s a comic nastiness to Rock’s insults, some of which is studied, but other times appeared to be the product of his own bottled-up anger. But here, he follows one of his most polished and funny jokes, comparing the dating prospects of Jay-Z and Beyoncé if they weren’t stars but worked at Burger King, with a long, sustained section on the Oscars that closes the show. Through a combination of razzle dazzle and Rolodex spinning, the streaming service packaged this special more like a major sporting event than a special, a star-studded warm-up act to the Oscars next week. “And now,” he added, pausing before referencing the new movie in which Smith plays an enslaved man, “I watch ‘Emancipation’ just to see him get whooped.” His jokes about Meghan Markle are very funny, mocking her surprise that the royal family is racist, terming them its originators, the “Sugarhill Gang of racism.” It messed up his momentum, but the trade-off might have been worth it, since the flub added an electric spontaneity and unpredictability that was a drawing card. HBO Max releasing that in the last week was its own counterprogramming. Normally, such an error would have been edited out, but since this was the first live global event in the history of Netflix, Rock could only stop, call attention to it and tell the joke again.

Chris Rock took aim at Meghan Markle during his Netflix comedy special, accusing her of "trying to be a victim."

Rock ended his big Netflix special Selective Outrage by insisting that Jada Pinkett Smith is worse than the Oscars slap.

Rock then explained why he didn’t do anything back to Smith that night at the Oscars: “Cause I got parents. [Will Smith slapping him](https://www.avclub.com/chris-rock-will-smith-jada-pinkett-smith-oscars-slap-1848710405), but he made it clear that any problems he has are not with Will Smith; they’re with Jada Pinkett Smith. “Everybody in the world called him a bitch… [as everyone assumed](https://www.avclub.com/here-are-the-will-smith-jokes-chris-rock-is-testing-for-1850186515), the comedian used a good chunk of it to talk about getting slapped by Will Smith onstage at the 2022 Oscars. Simpson, Meghan Markle (he joked about the royal family being the original racists, but still came around to that being her fault), and the Kardashians. He also noted that he’s so pro-abortion that he’s paid for more abortions than any woman in the room.

Chris Rock took aim at Meghan Markle during his Netflix comedy special, accusing her of "trying to be a victim."

After the Winfrey episode aired, I was like 'Didn't she hit the light-skin lottery?'" They're the original racists. They invented colonialism," Rock said. "Everybody trying to be a victim," Rock said. In a first for Netflix, the special aired live on the platform.

Janina Gavankar, one of Meghan Markle's best friends, was at the live taping for Chris Rock's Netflix show – and watched as he skewered the Duchess of ...

Like, didn’t she hit the light-skinned lottery?” Rock said to launch into his diatribe, before calling the royal family the “OGs of racism.” “Though their ‘recollections may vary,’ ours don’t because we lived through it with them,” Gavankar said, quoting directly from the Palace’s statement. They invented colonialism,” he said on stage, adding, “They invested in slavery like it was ‘Shark Tank.’” Gavankar was a guest at the Sussexes wedding in May 2018. “She’s complaining, I’m like, ‘What the f–k is she talking about? The comic joked that Markle was just dealing with some “in-law s—t.”

Chris Rock earned some laughs at the expense of Meghan Markle and the royals over the weekend.

He also pointed out Smith's size difference compared to himself, before poking fun at the actor over the headline-making "entanglement" drama he had with wife Jada, and the They're the Sugarhill Gang of racism. [interview with ](https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-oprah-interview-conversations-how-dark-archie-skin-color-would-be/) [Oprah Winfrey](https://people.com/tag/oprah-winfrey/) in 2021 when she claimed that there were "concerns and conversations about how dark" her son Archie's skin would be "when he's born." "Like, didn't she hit the light-skinned lottery," Rock asked. They're the OGs of racism. "I got smacked at the f---ing Oscars by this m----f---er. Still, Rock wasn't afraid to label the family racist himself in his new special, when he argued that Meghan was "acting all dumb like she didn't know nothing. the two things are different," Harry, 38, continued. "Because she's complaining, I'm like, 'What the f--- is she talking about? "Because they accept everybody. "Sometimes it's just some in-law s---," Rock said on the special of Meghan. After mentioning Meghan specifically, he said that she "seems like a nice lady, just complaining."

There were, of course, slap jokes in Rock's new show last night. Here's what he said, plus other highlights.

During the closing segment, Rock also responded to the vocal minority of people who bashed him for not retaliating in the moment. “Now, I watch Emancipation, just to see him get whupped.” “Will Smith played Muhammad Ali in a movie. “She hurt him way more than he hurt me,“ Rock said. Coming out to Baby Keem’s “Family Ties,” dressed in all white and commanding the stage with signature aplomb, Rock was clearly charged up. The comic also drew attention to the size disparity between himself and Smith, who is known for playing muscular action stars.

Chris Rock took a dig at Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's 'entanglement' scandal during his live Netflix special.

our experiences of working through it, fighting through it, talking through it and therapizing through it — I think that the ‘Why now?’ is weird.” “There’s no way around it.” “Everybody in the world called him a b—. That is some b—ass s—.” “I think it could feel weird for people that we’re laughing and talking about it,” Smith said at the time.

Parental advice be damned, Rock certainly got back at Smith during last night’s stand-up set by tapping rich, tabloid-sustaining headlines and rubbing salt in old wounds. “A lot of people say, ‘Chris, how come you didn’t do nothing back?’” Rock said during the special. (Rock briefly confused the two movies while workshopping some fresh anti-Smith material on Saturday.) “‘Cause I got parents. Everybody in here’s been cheated on.

Netflix added pre- and post-show bookends of star-studded live programming with, as host comedian Ronny Chieng said, “every comedy legend who owes Netflix a favor.” Bono lent a opening introduction. The comedian on Saturday referenced Pinkett Smith’s earlier confessions of having an “entanglement” with another man while married. Rock, who also riffed on how he’d respond if his father transitioned to a woman (he would support him, Rock said), made clear “Selective Outrage” was not going to be just a Will Smith show.

In his live Netflix comedy special over the weekend, Chris Rock finally addressed the Will Smith Oscars slap drama. He told the audience...

He said, "I got parents! A ni**a he know he can beat, that is some bi**h a** sh*t." View this post on Instagram

You'll laugh even as you're offended by Chris Rock's live Netflix special 'Selective Outrage.'

Whether or not you buy his theories about how men are, or women are, or what makes a good relationship, or what ails the country, or even accept the premises from which he draws his conclusions, and whether or not this was his finest hour (and eight minutes) of television, Rock remains worth listening to, because there’s nothing casual about what he does, and most important, he knows how to craft and sell a joke. Where “Tamborine” found the comic in a relatively intimate setting with the audience nearly at his feet, engaging in a more modulated, reflective style of delivery, “Selective Outrage” came across as a rough-edged bid to regain old fire; he pumped up the volume, prowled the stage, charging his text with repeated words and phrases like a revival preacher, both to hammer out a point and to make music. When Rock finally got to the Slap, in the special’s last minutes, he certainly leaned into it. And as in a sporting event, there was an element of unpredictability to “Selective Outrage,” even of danger, the possibility that the comedian would have to be carried off the field, figuratively speaking. Some of his targets were strangely inessential: Going after Meghan Markle for not understanding that she’d encounter racism among the royal family, felt mean and like a waste of breath, and the Kardashians, even if super-glued into popular culture, are the day before yesterday’s news. This is Rock’s sixth special, and that the previous five were produced in the usual manner has proved no impediment to his career.

Actress Janina Gavankar, a longtime friend of Meghan Markle, was present at the live taping of Chris Rock's Netflix show on Saturday night, ...

Rock imitated Markle's voice, saying she was "acting all dumb" like she didn't know anything. During his set, Rock mocked Markle's 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, where she claimed an unknown royal had raised "concerns" about "how dark" their baby might be before their son, Archie, was born. Gavankar had reportedly been to previous shows where Rock had made similar comments about Markle and the royals, so she knew what to expect.

Meghan's allegations about comments over her son's skin tone become the butt of comedian's jokes in his new Netflix special.

“Meghan Markle, I know the dilemma,” he said. They’re the original racists. That’s the Royal family. He added, by imitating the Duchess: “‘Oprah, they’re so racist.
