Chris Rock released a Netflix special called Selective Outrage on March 4th. In it he comments for the first time on the incident during the 2022 Oscars when Will Smith slapped him in front of the camera. This was preceded by a quip by Rock, which made fun of Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head, which is suffering from hair loss due to an illness.
Smith won the Oscar for best actor at last year’s event for his role in the film King Richard. He was then unloaded for the next ten awards despite apologies to Chris Rock because of the incident with the American comedian.
In the appearance, which is available on Netflix, he insults both Smith and his wife, including as “wanker” and “slut” and explains why he has not commented so far. The “New Musical Express‘ has now published the full transcript. It reads translated as follows:
“You all know what happened to me when I got beat up by ‘Shug’ Smith. Everybody knows, everybody knows, dammit. Yes it happened, I got beat up. A year ago, last week, I got beat up by this motherfucker at the Oscars. And people ask, ‘Did it hurt?’ It still hurts. I have [Will Smiths Song] ‘Summertime’ ringing in my ears. The damn drums, please.
But I’m not a victim, you’ll never get me on Oprah or Gayle [King] see crying You’ll never see it, it’ll never happen. ‘I couldn’t believe it and I love ‘Men in Black’, no, that will never happen. Fuck that shit. I took the hit like [Boxer Manny] Pacquiao. I pocketed him like damn Pacquiao, okay? shit man Did it hurt? Yes, motherfucker, it hurt.
And people say, ‘You fight all the time.’ We don’t fight. I know you don’t see it on camera, but Will Smith is a lot taller than me. We’re not the same size, okay? We are not. Will Smith does movies shirtless, you’ve never seen me shirtless in a movie. When I’m having open-heart surgery in a film, I put on a sweater. Will Smith played Muhammad Ali in a movie, do you think I auditioned for that role? He played Muhammad Ali, I played Pookie in ‘New Jack City’. I played a piece of corn in ‘Pootie Tang’. Shit, even in the cartoon, that motherfucker is bigger. i am a zebra [in ‚Madagaskar‘]he is a shark [Smith hat einen Fisch in ‚Shark Tale‘ gesprochen]. What the shit, man? But Will Smith is practicing select scandals, because everybody knows what the fuck happened, everybody knows I had nothing to do with that shit. I wasn’t involved, really. And for the people who don’t know, and everyone knows, Will Smith’s wife shagged her son’s friend, okay? Normally I wouldn’t talk about this shit, but for some reason these n****** put this shit on the internet. I have no idea why two talented people would do something so damn mean. What the fuck?
We’ve all been scammed, everyone in here has been scammed, none of us have ever been interviewed on TV by the person who scammed us. None of us. ‘Hey, I was sucking someone else’s cock, how did that make you feel?’ Why the hell are you doing this shit? She hurt him a lot more than he hurt me, okay.
Everyone in the world calls him ‘bitch’, I tried calling the motherfucker and offering my condolences, he didn’t pick up. Everyone called the man a ‘bitch’, bloody Charlamagne [tha God] called him a ‘bitch,’ and the Breakfast Club called him a ‘bitch,’ and the view, and the talk, and every rapper, and the drink champs called him a fucking ‘bitch.’ Everyone called him a ‘bitch’, they called his wife a predator, everyone called him a ‘bitch’. All all. And who did he hit? Me. One he knows he can beat, that’s fucking shit. That fucking happened. Get the fuck out of here man.
I didn’t do anything to that motherfucker. Years ago his wife told me to quit the Oscars, that I shouldn’t host because her husband wasn’t nominated for ‘Emancipation.’ Biggest piece of shit ever. Okay, that n**** gives me a fucking concussion. No, [mein] Mistake I screwed up the joke! She said to quit because he wasn’t nominated for ‘Concussion’ what the fuck? What the fuck? So I make a few jokes about it and that’s how it is.
She started it, I finished it, that’s how the hell it was. Nobody started with the bitch, she started. Nobody picks on her. She said I, a grown man, should quit my job because her husband wasn’t nominated for the movie ‘Concussion’ and then he concusses me, okay? What the shit, man.
I love Will Smith, all my life I’ve loved that n****. I saw him opener for Run-DMC at Nassau Coliseum, these n***** made brand new funk, I love this n****, he makes great movies. I’ve celebrated Will Smith my whole life, I’ve supported that motherfucker and now I just watched ‘Emancipation’ only to see him get spanked. I have barrel [gespielt von Ben Foster] cheered: ‘Hit him again, Fassel, you missed a point.’
A lot of people say: Chris, why didn’t you do anything? How come you didn’t hit back? Because I have parents, that’s why. Because I was raised. I have parents and do you know what my parents taught me? Don’t fight in front of the white people.”
