Chris Rock will address slap to Will Smith in live Netflix

Chris Rock had already dismissed Will Smith's lengthy apology video in which he apologized to the comedian for slapping him in the face at the Oscars previous year.

Agencies
Chris Rock is apparently prepared to discuss the Oscars incident in which Will Smith slapped him across the face. The 58-year-old creator of "The Everyone Hates Chris" will release his second stand-up special for Netflix called "Chris Rock: Selective Outrage" on March 4.

The comedian will also experience a historic occasion because he will be the first performer to live-stream a performance on the site. The live show debuts almost a year to the day after megastar Fresh Prince Will smacked Chris on stage for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

After the incident, Chris has kept quiet about it, but Page Six reports that the Madagascar actor is now prepared to discuss the disturbing incident from his point of view.


On March 28 of last year, the Oscars were held, and everyone was talking about Will's surprising action.

Chris made an unfortunate joke about 51-year-old Jada as he rushed onto the stage to give out an award, alluding to the fact that she had shaved her head despite earlier disclosing that she had the hair loss ailment alopecia.
