What 'Traumatized' Wanda Sykes Was Thinking When Will Smith Slapped Chris Rock

A “still traumatized” Wanda Sykes told an audience in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday that she still can’t talk about the Oscars slap without getting emotional, People reported.

But the comedian, a co-host on that fateful night in March, still had plenty to say.

Clearly, Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock after he joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head was still stoking her anger, especially when Smith stuck around like he was unbothered to receive his Best Actor Oscar.

“I couldn’t believe he was still sitting there, like an asshole,” Sykes said at her show, per People. “Shouldn’t you be sitting there with a lawyer or LAPD, motherfucker?”
