Chris Rock on Being Slapped by Will Smith at Oscars: ‘I’m Not a Victim’

Chris Rock wants fans to know he’s “not a victim” with regards to The Slap, at least according to an “eyewitness”-citing new report.

On Monday, the celeb gossip-focused Us Weekly reported that Rock addressed being slapped by Will Smith at this year’s Oscars ceremony during a recent stand-up set in Holmdel, New Jersey.

“I’m not a victim, motherfucker,” Rock is reported to have told the crowd. “Yeah, that shit hurt, motherfucker. … But I shook that shit off and went to work the next day.” Rock reportedly then went on to joke that he doesn’t go to the hospital “for a papercut.”

Elsewhere in the same set, Rock is said to have jokingly called the King Richard Oscar winner “Suge Smith.”
