Chris approach to the whole thing was smart AF. He made people pay to find out how he really feels

Chris's brother Tony's response was right on, but brother Jordan's message of "AND THATS HOW IT'S DONE" mocking Jaden Smith's comment (about Will's ridiculous behavior being...good?) was chef's-kiss magnificent! Loved it!

I love how how he stood up for his brother. That's what siblings do.

So proud of Chris. He behaved at the Oscars like a class act and a year later threw a deep psychological slap to Smith. Chris demonstrated which of the two is the real man. Thank you Chris. I have watched your Netflix special a bunch of times. So funny

At the end….looking in his eyes you can tell he needed this. I’m glad he got it off his chest. This can allow us all including him to move on!

No one has the right to tell someone when to get over something. We all have people who have done us wrong and hold grudges months/years later. Congrats to Chris. He responded when he was ready and in his time.

He who laughs last...laughs the best!!! Chris Rock to the World!!

The incredible thing is the love and support these brothers have for each other. ❤❤❤❤

Awesomely done! Chris finally decided to say his piece and most people enjoyed it, but most importantly he got paid talking about it. Creatively genius!

DL said exactly what I was thinking. And Chris titled his special perfectly, Selective Outrage!

Chris played the long game and he played it BRILLIANTLY! I loved every second of it. He deserves all the praise he is getting.

He executed beautifully!!!! Said ABSOLUTELY nothing for a whole year which had to been the hardest thing ever when it happened on a world stage. Now his healing process can begin. Great job!!!

I have never been more proud of Chris Rock than I am at this moment! He will always be my favorite comedian of ALL TIME!!!!! That's how it's done! 💛❤💛❤

Chris was very insightful and strategic! Not only was his punch line timing perfect in the standup the timing for coming out was masterful as it put a big speed bump in the road for Will Smith comeback. I’d say it was pin point accuracy and leaves a sting!

The way Chris did this was pure genius! He told the world a day after it happened that he would not speak on this until he was paid. NF just gave him 40 million to do so! Loved the show!

I've always loved them both but Will got what he deserved. Way to go Chris. He's been bullied all his life and he finally struck back. Great job!

Chris Rock was absolutely brilliant...BRILLIANT...!!!!...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm glad Chris had a chance to finally get that off his chest. You could tell it was therapy for him.

I loved it !! The whole world saw what was done to him and his response was to wait until he was ready and then not hit him but crushed him beautifully executed

Instead of a slap back to Will, Chris did a clap back 😂😂😂 #Genius

And to drop this special right before the Oscars, almost a year later was a BRILLIANT strategy! I watched it twice and laughed just as hard the 2nd time!

That show was a MUST SEE and he was speaking 💯FACTS. Great Job Pookie!!!😂

Chris is the GOAT!!!! I love how he handled the entire situation, waiting a year later to express how he felt!! Love it

Yes, Chris Rock understood the assignment AND the game by earning $40M in his response to Will & Jada! 👏 👏

There’s a lesson to be learned from Chris. If someone does something to you; you determine when, where, and how you respond. He gave himself enough time to process, collect his thoughts, contained his emotions, and articulate his reaction in the most masterful way. He understood the assignment on how to conduct himself in front of a global audience. Unknown to WS; Chris saved both of them, their respective families, and their community the embarrassment by not allowing things to escalate.

Chris is a genius for his delivery of the situation.

Absolutely loved this special. I’m glad he chose to do it when he was ready. AND did the special in Jada’s hometown. Happy for CR

Chris gave us all a valuable lesson, respond, don't react to bullies. To lay-low and observe for a year was the best thing he could have done. Respect!

You don't fight a person in their strength you fight them on your strengths and that's what he did 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love Chris. I have since his first special. Simply because he's the best. His hour long special feels like 20 minutes too short of a time. He always says the truth. No matter what or who it's about . Best comic ever.

Chris handled that situation like a True Gentlemen and hit the Smiths with his Power in Comedy HATS OFF TO CHRIS ROCK STAY SOLID

Chris Rock was masterful. He delivered the perfect verbal knockout blow‼️

Chris took it like a man and handled it in his own time. His delivery was brilliant. Even the title of his special was top notch, a tribute to Smith. Much respect to Chris Rock!!

He was outraged, and rather than channeling his Rage to an act of violence, he released all he had from his gut. His comedy is his therapy, and I am so proud of him. For anyone that was offended by the way he addressed it in his style, well, it's a lot easier to say that or say how you would react from the outside lookin in. To be ridiculed and humiliated in front of the world is so disturbing, and he didn't deserve that level of disrespect. He definitely got the last laugh as he Dropped the 🎤!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Chris was brilliant! I’m so happy for him. Team Chris Rock 🥇🏆🎤

He showed professionalism right after the famous slap and now he is infamous for his amazing well crafted response. Yes, CONGATS to Chris.

One word to describe Chris Rock's routine and response - BRILLIANT. Just when Will Smith was sitting back thinking he had got away with it Chris lowered the boom and did it in a way that will now have Will Smith feeling some of the humiliation he felt. The difference is Chris Rock was justified in his actions and used the truth as his weapon.

This was hilarious!!! It was a perfect way to share his thoughts and feelings on the whole thing. Will spoke on it, Jada spoke on it and Will's kids spoke on it. So Chris felt it was his time and everyone should accept it. You don't have to like it but respect his decision. It was a GREAT special!!! He went in on everything and everyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed his special 😊 he handled it his way AND GOT PAID ❤

THAT CLAP BACK WAS STRONGER THAN THAT SLAP😂😂😂😂😂 #LOVECHRISROCK❤❤

He gathered all his thoughts, took time to reflect. And spoke on his time not any person that thinks it happened long ago because it’s just like yesterday to him. Much respect ❤

Chris did that and dropped the mic 👏🏽👏🏽

Love Rock's response. He straight kept it classy. I love it when someone responds instead of reacts #ChrisRocks

Chris laughed and told his truth, all the way to the bank... timing is everything, brilliant 👏 I was a die-hard Will and Jada fan... But that was so out of caricature for Will and truthfully I hold Jada responsible.

I'm glad he finally spoke out about it whether on stage or not Will started it and Chris finished it well done Chris

Great report! TY. Chris did nothing wrong. He saved his response for the right time... HIS time. No interview, no hidden camera or mic soundbite, nothing. It was Chris in his element detailing the event from his experience, and quite brilliantly done IMHO. He and Dave Chappelle are today's KINGS of comedy.

Chris handled it well, especially considering how long he kept us in the dark.

I am glad the comedians are sticking together. #teamchris

My mom always said silence was the best way to get back at someone. And that's what Chris did for a whole year

I love the way Chris Rock handled this situation. He is an amazing man. Nothing but love and respect for him and his brothers. You rock Chris.

He was smart about how he handled it. Like a complete G. He didn’t play the victim. He got on stage and made big money. He’s not phased by anything anyone says about him. Chris Rock 💯

As embarrassing and painful as it was, WS blindly gave Chris a gift and Chris is just showing him how grateful he is. Chris Rock I’m proud of you.

The whole situation was handled brilliantly by Chris from beginning to end.

I still love Will but I love that Chris got to handle his response on his own terms and when HE was ready. You got to love it .. Kudos to Chris 👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽💙

I watched the special, the other day. It was really good. Chris Rock handled himself and the situation perfectly. He was still funny and entertaining, it's his job: he is a comedian. And I liked the end. I could see Chris Rock really let out his anger at the end. I am glad Chris Rock got a chance to let it out. It is good for Chris Rock mentally. As far as Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are concerned, they need to put their big girl and big boy underpants on and deal with it. Chris Rock was silent for a year. He deserved his 7 minutes dedicated to his response, and his thoughts on being slapped in the face on on stage of the internationally televised Oscars. And Selective Outrage was exactly right. If Will Smith was smart, he would skip the playing the victim, playing hurt or embarrassed, and forget about Jada, let Jada speak for herself if she has something to say about Chris' Netflix comments. Will Smith should have just said, I didn't watch the special, but whatever he said I deserved it after what I did.

The fact it dropped a week before the Oscars was brilliant too.

Glad Chris Rock took center stage to get this off chest. He deserves the applause 👏🏾 I didn’t laugh but I could feel his pain.

Chris timing was on point… a year later, a few million$’s, and the last word…. He did it his way… we didn’t get slapped , he did. …Chris decided how he wanted to respond and he did just so…..🥰👏🏽👏🏽💯

Love Chris Rock and Will Smith deserves everything he gets

i love the fact that while Chris was silent, all of the comedians put words to the Smith household. Chris, put the period on a very long sentence.

The really interesting thing about this comedy special is that Chris Rock STILL went easy on Will Smith. Rock used the platform more as a means of catharsis when he could have really ripped into them. Fir Chris, it wasn't really about getting revenge but more about how he genuinely felt. It goes to show the class and maturity of the man because had he wanted to, he could have destroyed the entire Smith household very easily.

Chris opened hes silence with hes truth. Wish him well

I have never heard Chris perform. Only Tony and he’s super funny. Also, never had a Netflix account until this moment. Chris Rock’s performance was Exceptionally funny. Rock was strategic with his “CLAP BACK” by airing it out on stage in Baltimore Maryland. He got paid handsomely for a few hours of his talent. I pray that this gives Chris closure after holding all of the feelings in for over a year. Blessings to Chris Rock and his Family.❤🙏🏾

Chris hit it out the park! Him dropping the mic was comic GOLD!

Chris killed it. I loved it. Going to watch again tonight. He said what almost everyone been saying.

You are the man Chris Rock 🤗♥️♥️♥️ Well done, loved your Comedy Special.

Classic and classy response by Chris! It's all about "getting ya lick back! And the truth is...... you can't tell the person that YOU hit HOW TO HIT YOU BACK!! Chris hit his ass back the best way he could.......and got paid 40 million!! The best revenge is SUCCESS!!😂🤣😂🤣👍🏿💯. #Salute

Beautiful he let it all out and we got exactly what we all were waiting on,. right time right place. Chris didnt disappoint. Took hi shwole comedy routine up a notch. Yesterdays price isnt todays price!! Big up Chris Rock respect is due!!

Everything he said about Will Smith and Jada was spot on. They aren't even the illusion their PR people would have you believe. Chris Rock was, is, and always will be one of the icons of comedy. Will Smith is just a punch line now.

Oh I love this!!! Thank you!

Chris Rock is the man!!❤

Chris Rock has just shown the world how to use your words to fight back , and how to rise and conquer when you think you may have hit your lowest point. Excellent job by Chris all the way around 👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿

I'm from England and I created and owned 16 comedy clubs called Jongleurs. I wrote in my PhD (2017) about Chris Rock being what I called a Supra-Comedian as the comedian who stand above and beyond the great and good I am so pleased I am proved right. I saw him perform this in London and he really has shown how it is done.Comedy is the most transformative skill we have and Chris is the Master. He is truly the comedian to be admired and given the Oscar for Humanity.

I used to be a fan of Will Smith and not that much of a fan of Chris Rock's but now the tables have totally turned!#love me some Chris Rock now😊

The way he wanted to and when he wanted to 😂😂😂

Tony Rock is delighted to see his Brother "Ball Up". Great!

Great job Chris Rock, luv the support of ur family... Great family

This was a terrific report..love it. Take care. C.S. 2023

Pure Genius!!! Congratulations Chris! Your brother was awesome, Tony !!

I loved every minute of it ,Chris you Rock

I wish that incident never happened because I like both of those guys, but since it did happen, Chris' entire patience & poised way of maneuvering over the past year was the perfect prelude to his brilliant and amazing performance on Netflix!!!! Well done Chris!!!!... WELL DONE!!!! I loved it and look forward to seeing it again and again and again, along with your future projects!

Chris handled that slap like a real man who was thinking about his family and generational wealth. Sometimes you have to make the best move for your family. That's a real man. It was a punk move to stand up and slap him.

"He who laughs last ...laughs BEST"!!!!¡

I'm glad Chris finally spoke about it. He has the right to speak on that situation. Good job. Chris.

👏🏽👏🏽Chris deserved this moment.

Response was BEAUTIFUL!! You go Chris 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This was the KNOCKOUT PUNCH. Congrats Chris Rock!

Chris has addressed the slap brilliantly. The ending of the show was brilliant, referring to the reason why he didn’t hit back because he’s got parents, and what his parents would have told him not to do…. What a fantastic and moving closing

I was honestly SO flippin impressed with how Chris handled every single thing about the smack, since the smack! Seriously! I think ANYONE else probably would’ve started screaming obscenities like crazy at him, or, just jumped onto him from the stage and started hitting. But it was insanely impressive how Chris just kept his composure and never stopped smiling. In Will’s life, he uses fighting sometimes at work. For work, Chis writes good jokes in a true story and gets so much appreciative laughter. It may have been a year, but that’s how he very maturely handled it. If Will and Jada were at all surprised by his response…. I guess I’d just be incredibly surprised! While probably no one asks Will about the Oscars incident because they’re too scared to set off the obviously enraged Will, but I’m SURE Chris gets asked about it non-stop. So sure, Will and Jada have been able to just glide right through it. That act Chris performed was just his way of hitting Will Jack

Love you Chris, it’s about time

He handled it well and came back strong I knew he would.❤❤❤

Chris Rock handled the entire situation, from the time it happened up to now, perfectly. He kept his cool and maintained his professionalism throughout. I have to say that I have even more respect for him, now. Well done, Chris Rock! 💯👊🏽✌🏽

Plain and simple..... "AIN'T NO FUN WHEN THE DEER HAS THE GUN" love you Chris.

Yay for Chris! That's all I have to say. To the haters: You don't get to tell someone when they have to get over being disrespected. It's his turn now. He said what he said, and now he feels like he can exhale. Kudos to you, Chris! And thank you for the laughs.

Your Brother's special is AMAZING. Love your brother

Chris did it straight from the Body, mind and Soul. Perfectly Placed straight to the Heart ❤️. Think about who Hurt you the most Mr.Smith.

I love that he did this almost a whole year later because just as people were starting to forget and the Smiths hoped it would be over Chris Rock got his day to speak and on top of that showed everyone he has class he even explained why he didn't go back at Will he was raised right

Excellent, job well done !

I have a new respect for Chris, simply brilliant!!

This was a David & Goliath situation. A commentator below by the name of Tracey Harris described this situation best, she or he said “you dnt fight a person on *their* strength, you fight them on *your* strength”
