Oscars host Amy Schumer says she's 'still triggered and traumatized' after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage

Will Smith, right, hits presenter Chris Rock on stage while presenting the award for best documentary feature at the Oscars on Sunday, March 27, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
  • Amy Schumer wrote on Instagram that she was "stunned" by Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on Sunday.
  • Schumer was one of the hosts at the Oscars ceremony where Smith hit Rock onstage.
  • The stand-up comedian said that Rock handled the "disturbing" situation "like a pro."

Amy Schumer, one of the hosts of the Oscars ceremony held last Sunday, wrote on Instagram that she's still "stunned" by Will Smith's actions during Hollywood's biggest night. 

On Sunday, Smith went on stage and slapped Chris Rock while he was presenting an award after the comedian made a joke about his wife's hair. Jada Pinkett Smith has been open about her losing her hair due to alopecia.

Schumer, who hosted the night alongside Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes, reflected on the event in her most recent Instagram post.

"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," Schumer began in a caption of a photo of herself.

"But for real. Still triggered and traumatized. I love my friend @chrisrock 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," the stand-up comedian continued.

 

"So much pain in @willsmith anyway I'm still in shock and stunned and sad," Schumer wrote. "Im proud of myself and my cohosts. But yeah. Waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed."

In a previous post shared on Monday, Schumer wrote that her "jaw is still on the floor," which appeared to be in reference to the incident.

Smith apologized to Rock and the Academy after the incident 

Since the incident, Smith has apologized for his actions.

During his acceptance speech after winning the best actor award for his role in "King Richard," the actor apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees. A day later, he apologized to Rock himself via an Instagram-released statement. He also apologized to the Williams family, who were the focus of the biopic "King Richard," which won him the award on Sunday night.

According to a statement released by the Los Angeles Police Department, Rock declined to file a police report against Smith for slapping him. However, the Academy said that it does not "condone violence" and has launched a formal review. In a new letter to its members, obtained by Variety, the Academy leadership said the review will take a "few" weeks to complete.

The incident has divided celebrities, comedians, and the public.

Tiffany Haddish told People magazine that Smith deciding to "stand up" for his wife was "the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

Meanwhile, Jim Carrey told Gayle King on "CBS Mornings" earlier this week that he was "sickened" that the audience at the Oscars ceremony gave Smith a standing ovation when he won the best actor award and would have sued the "Aladdin" actor for $200 million dollars if he was the one that was slapped.
