Comedian Chris Rock is tired of talking about Will Smith 's infamous Oscar's slap, but he wants to make one thing clear: It hurt.

Rock, 58, spoke at length about the 2022 Academy Awards incident during a live Netflix comedy special.

" You know what people say, they say, 'words hurt,'" Rock said. " Anybody that say words hurt has never been punched in The Face . "

Will Smith has since said " bottled" rage led to his actions.

The confrontation became a cultural lightening rod for conversations around America's appetite for Casual Violence , as Mr Smith was allowed to remain at The Ceremony and later accepted his first-ever Oscar for Best Actor .

Rock was praised for maintaining his composure following The Incident .

In the streaming service's first live comedy show, Chris Rock : Selective Outrage, the performer tackled a wide range of issues, including woke culture, Meghan Markle and politics.

" I'm going to try to do The Show without offending anyone, " Rock said, in a nod to the Smith altercation. " Because you never know who might get triggered. "

With his distinct cadence and unapologetic and uncensored tone, Rock joked to a sold-out auditorium in Baltimore, Maryland .
