Amy Schumer Says Will Smith’s Oscar Slap ‘Triggered Traumatized’ Her: I’m Still ‘Stunned
30.03.2022 - 17:45 / hollywoodlife.com
Days after Will Smith slapped the taste out of Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards for making a joke at Jada Pinkett-Smith‘s expense, Amy Schumer is still dealing with lingering feelings from the incident. As one of the Oscars’ hosts, Amy, 40, had the task of trying to make everyone laugh after the awkward interaction. While she successfully defused the tension in the Dolby Theatre with a joke, Amy said she’s still going through what went down. “I think we can all agree that the best way to unpack what happened is to stream my series @lifeandbethhulu and see me on tour this fall,” Amy posted on Mar. 30. “But for real. Still triggered and traumatized.”
“I love my friend [Chris, 57] and believe he handled it like a pro. Stayed up there and gave an Oscar to his friend [Questlove] and the whole thing was so disturbing. So much pain in [Will, 53]. Anyway, I’m still in shock and stunned, and sad. I’m proud of myself and my cohosts. But yeah. Waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed.”
Amy seemingly drew the short straw between her fellow cohosts – Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall – when it came to going out on stage following Will and Chris’s incident. “I’ve been getting out of the Spider-Man costume,” Amy said, referring to an earlier skit where she, Wanda, 58, and Regina, 51, dressed up as characters from some of the year’s biggest movies. “Did I miss anything?” joked Amy, playing dumb about what had gone down. “There’s, like, a different vibe in here. Probably not… well anyway.” ‘
