I saw Chris Rock's latest tour when he as in Australia a few months ago.
As Keith said, he made a couple of quick jokes where he alluded to the slap. He also told a story about walking through Central Park a year earlier and getting knocked out by some guy in front of his girlfriend. He talked about how emasculating the whole situation was and it didn't seem like he was making it up.
While it wasn't directly related to the Oscars incident, getting hit twice like that in a short span of time, felt like a pretty key element of Chris's side of the story that has been ignored.
I'm honestly surprised that part didn't make bigger news because for a while there every little comment Chris made - like calling Will 'Suge Smith' - was being turned into a headline.
