In the Netflix comedy special Chris Rock addressed the slap gate that left him devastated for quite some time. He started his speech by mocking Will Smith and saying that he did not have anything to do with it. He even mentioned the infamous entanglement word Jada Pinkett Smith used for her previous relationship with August Alsina. “None of us has ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us, on television… She hurt him way more than he hurt me,” he claimed.
According to him, the Emmy winner is the reason behind this fiasco and she started it because of her personal rage. The Grown Ups star pointed out how she wanted him to quit because her husband did not get nominated for Concussion. And he never intended to pick on her; it was all her doing.
