Amy Schumer ‘Waiting for This Sickening Feeling to Go Away’ After Will Smith’s Oscar Slap

Jay Leno is sharing his thoughts about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in the midst of the 2022 Oscars.

Dealing with her own backlash. Amy Schumer has been candid about her honest reaction to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, but some haven’t appreciated it.

Amy Schumer stands by the belief that Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars was traumatizing for everyone.

Academy Awards co-host Amy Schumer stopped by “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on Wednesday to share her thoughts on Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock — the moment that “really changed the air in the room.”

Unlike Chris Rock, fellow comedian and Oscars co-host Amy Schumer didn’t hold back with her opinions on The Slap during her stand-up comedy show at the Mirage Theater in Las Vegas on Saturday. This comes after Schumer said she was “traumatized” and “triggered” by Will Smith assaulting Rock at the Oscars in an Instagram post.

“I don’t know if you saw this, but Will Smith slapped Chris Rock,” Amy Schumer told the crowd at her first post-Oscars stand-up gig over the weekend, shocking no one. “Did you read that in your newsfeed?”

E! News, “I don’t even know what to say about the Oscars. I have no jokes about it. All I can say is that, I don’t know if you saw this, but Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.

Still reeling from the incident. Amy Schumer, who cohosted the 2022 Oscars, further discussed the Will Smith and Chris Rock drama in her most recent standup routine.

Now that Amy Schumer has had an entire week to process what went down at this year’s Academy Awards between Will Smith and Chris Rock, she has more to say on the controversial moment.

Amy Schumer is already working the events of the Oscars into her standup.

It’s been dubbed the slap heard around the world and the fallout for actor Will Smith after slapping comedian Chris Rock for telling a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith at the Oscars continues and won’t abate. Given it was an unscripted moment of violence that shocked audiences and pretty much everyone in attendance at the Academy Award ceremony, many are aghast that after striking Rock, Smith returned to his seat, suffered zero consequences, and then waited patiently to win the Best Actor statue for his performance in “King Richard.” Following Smith’s apology, Pinkett-Smith’s call for “healing.” and an investigation opened by the Academy branch, many celebrities are weighing in, some very well connected to the story, others, not even attending that night.

Wanda Sykes called out Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards on Sunday while visiting with Ellen Degeneres for a segment to be aired on Thursday, April 7.

Amy Schumer is still recovering from the shocking incident that took place while she was hosting the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday.

As we wait on pins and needles for Chris Rock’s reaction to the now-infamous slap at Sunday’s Oscars ceremony, there are still reactions from attendees trickling in. Yesterday, fellow comedian Jim Carrey weighed in, defending Rock’s poise while calling Hollywood’s standing ovation for Smith’s Best Actor win “spineless” and “sickening.” As the controversy continues to metastasize and the Academy, SAG, and others review and consider disciplinary measures, Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, the target of Rock’s joke, has called for “healing.” However, that’s certainly not going to be the last of all the takes.

Stayed up there and gave an Oscar to his friend [Questlove] and the whole thing was so disturbing.“So much pain in [Will Smith], anyway I’m still in shock and stunned and sad.
