Summary

Chris Rock is back with a fury. We all remember the slap heard ’round the world when Will Smith smacked Chris in the face at last year’s Oscars. Afterwards, Will went on an apology tour, but Chris stayed silent…until now. In his new Netflix special, “Selective Outrage,” the comedian is finally talking about Slapgate, and giving us his unbridled and uncensored take on the whole sitch. And he's dragging Will and Jada’s love life into the mix... Well deserved or too much? Listen up and decide!
