The selective outrage that happened onstage at last year’s Academy Awards surprised everyone because that kind of thing never happened before in the history of the Oscars.
Chris Rock, the award show host received a tight slap on his cheek from the legendary actor Will Smith on the live stage when millions of Americans were watching the ceremony on their screens.
Even though, Will apologized for the incident, the standup comedian chose to remain silent and will only share his views if he gets paid. It seems that Netflix has convinced the stand up comedian to open his mouth and has released the second special of the comedian.
