Chris Rock Jokes On Stage About Getting Slapped In The Face By Will Smith: "Everybody Is Trying To Be A F***ing Victim"
The Academy Awards earlier this year was one of the more eventful award events we've seen in a long time, when Will Smith walked on stage in the middle of Chris Rock's presentation to slap him on the face on live TV for a joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith.

The slap heard around the world was headline news for weeks and it resulted in Will Smith resigning from the Academy and being banned from attending ceremonies for the next decade. Smith released an apology shortly after the event, but he released yet another apology last week in the form of a YouTube video. Rock didn't exactly respond to Smith's apology, but he certainly made a reference to the incident in his latest standup at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta.
