Comedian Chris Rock is tired of talking about Will Smith's infamous Oscars slap, but he wants to make one thing clear: It hurt.

Rock spoke at length about the 2022 Academy Awards incident during a live Netflix comedy special.

Will Smith has since said "bottled" rage led to his actions.

The confrontation became a cultural lightening rod for conversations around America's appetite for casual violence, as Smith was allowed to remain at the ceremony and later accepted his first-ever Oscar for Best Actor.

Rock was praised for maintaining his composure following the incident.
