Chris Rock once again made it to the headlines with his Selective Outrage on Netflix. The 94th Academy Awards completed their one-year anniversary recently and so did the infamous slapgate incident that took place between Will Smith and Rock because of the joke that the comedian made about Jada Pinkett Smith. However, he took out all his outbursts in his Netflix special, but it might have upset the 51-year-old.

Apparently, the 58-year-old comedian used the word “b*tch” to address the Set It Off actress, which has angered her. It shocked Will Smith’s wife how often Rock called her a swear word. Not only that, but she feels insulted by his claims that she previously prevented him from hosting the Oscars.

The South Carolina-based comedian and the Smith family were close friends before the incident. While the King Richard actor regretted slapping him at the Oscars, Rock did not speak a lot about it until he got a stage. But once he began, he was unstoppable. Although his outrage included a small section at the end about the slapgate, he spoke his heart out about the couple and their doings.

What else did Chris Rock speak about Jada Pinkett and Will Smith?

The Down to Earth actor planned a calculated move with his Netflix Special as he stayed quiet for a whole year before saying anything. He seemed to be waiting for the appropriate moment and setting as he was accumulating all of his wrath to be released at once. The setting for his performance was Baltimore, the hometown of Jada Pinkett, and purposefully came out around the incident’s one-year mark.

He also spoke about the weird marital relationship of the Smith couple. Rock made fun of how they discussed the 51-year-old actress’s relationship history with August Alsina on her show Red Table Talk. The comedian commented on both her weird relationship with her son’s friend and the open discussion about it.

However, a source revealed to People that the Baltimore-based actress has no role to play in the ongoing tension between her husband and the Death at a Funeral actor. In fact, the source said that Rock is the one who is obsessed with her, and that too, for more than thirty years.
