00:00Closing today with some more celebrity reactions from what we are calling The Slap.
00:04As a little recap on Oscar night, Chris Rock took the stage to present an award and said a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith and her bald head.
00:12Will Smith seemingly got annoyed and then walked on stage and slapped Chris across the face on live TV.
00:17Now an array of celebs are voicing their opinions on the situation.
00:21Zoe Kravitz took to Instagram and posted a pic of herself from the Vanity Fair red carpet and captioned it,
00:27and here is a picture of my dress at the party after the award show where we are apparently screaming profanities and assaulting people on stage now.
00:35Referencing Will's erratic behavior.
00:37Jabari Banks, who plays Will's original character in the French Prince of Bel Air reboot, said exclusively to Hollywood Life,
00:43I have mixed feelings about it. The number one rule in Hollywood is that women and children you stay clear of.
00:50He took a vow and that was to stand up for his Jada and that's what he did. For better or for worse, he stood up for Jada.
00:55Well, now the Oscars co-hosts are weighing in. Amy Schumer made light of the situation, but then explained the seriousness of it in a post on Instagram that read,
01:05I think we can all agree the best way to unpack what happened is to stream my series Life in Beth Hulu and to see me on tour this fall.
01:13But for real, still triggered and traumatized. I love my friend Chris Rock and believe he handled it like a pro.
01:18Stayed up there and gave an Oscar to his friend Questlove and the whole thing was so disturbing.
01:24So much pain in Will Smith. Anyway, I'm still shocked and stunned and sad.
01:29I'm proud of myself and my co-hosts, but yeah, waiting for the sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed.
01:36And in speaking to Ellen, Wanda Sykes reiterated Amy's sentiment, saying she too was traumatized by what happened,
01:42adding that Will should have been escorted out of the building.
01:44Wanda also revealed that Chris approached her at the after party and apologized to her.
01:50She told Ellen,
01:51As I walked up to him, the first thing he said to me was,
01:54I am so sorry. And I was like, why are you apologizing?
01:57He said it was supposed to be your night and yours and Amy's and Regina's.
02:01You all were doing such a great job. I'm so sorry. This is now going to be about this.
