[laughter]. i got summertime ringing in my ears. will smith practices selective outrage. [applause] practices selective outrage. because everybody knows what the [bleep] happened. i didn't have any entanglements. she hurt him way more than he hurt me. >> reporter: now comments were made during a live global streaming show on netflix this past saturday. rock was performing a comedy routine in front of an audience in baltimore. most of what he had to say about will smith hitting him last year came ten minutes into the event. rock had told a joke about will smith's wife, jada pinkett-smith at last year's oscars. that prompted smith to come up on to the stage at the oscars and hit rock in the face the comedian said those who claim words hurt clearly hav

you wrote about chris rock's special.e insisted last night that nobody was picking on that bitch, meaning jada pinkett smith while he's been picking on that woman from behind the mic since the late 1990s, unquote. chris rock's special was titled "selective outrage." he accused will smith of selective outrage. you say rock has selective outrage. explain. >> i think so. i think that first of all, if you get hit in the face and you're the one who gets to decide how you deal with it. he didn't hit him. he waited a year. he sharpened his words even though you say words don't hurt. those words were certainly fashioned to hurt, to hit, to do it in her hometown, to do it the week before the oscars. so he selected what he was mad about. not only did he select it, he kind of decided that it was about one thing being will and jada's marriage that he had just snapped somehow. that was it. the final thing. i gotta go. smack chris rock right before i get an oscar probably and nothing to do with anything that he'd said about her. and i

for now, it's chris rock addressing the slap.fodder for jokes of chris rock to come. overall, people are really, really happy with the special and he's getting a lot of praise for it. >>> for the uk residents in the cottage of windsor, the duke and duchess of sussex have been invited to the coronation but whether they'll attend is still up in the air. charles and camilla will be crowned may the 6th. prince harry remains silent about whether his family will attend, especially on a tour of his recent book. i understand they sent a save the date in email. that's why they probably didn't respond, it's not the actual invite. >> and then the interviews when "spare" was being released, he said a lot to need to happen between he and his family to go to the coronation. do we know anything more about the interview with the trauma specialist? >> i don't think so. all of that is trauma and how he felt differences in his family in the same way as diana did. he said he wanted to have a meeting, i think, effectively, with william and charles to

>> no, no, no, but that's kind of been chris rock's hallmark. know, i think comparing those two comedians, while i understand why people want to do it, they're very different when it comes to stand-up. dave has gotten a lot more into satirical commentary and social commentary, while chris still likes to hold on to the fantastical, so he can make these over-the-top joke that makes a big laugh. >> let's rewind a little bit, because last year you said it was wrong for will smith to hit chris rock, but you understand it. now that rock is speaking out in his own terms, do you still understand it? what do you think? >> yeah, absolutely. i think it's important that we still have oxygen for nuance. i know nuance doesn't do well in this country. i know we like black and white things. but to me, what transpired last year at the oscars is filled with gray. because there's a backstory here, there's a present conditioning happening. and there's also individual conversations that people are having with themselves that we're just not privy to. and i think over

we'll get all the highlights for you. >> brian: here is what will smith evidently how he felt of chris rock'sis embarrassed and hurt by what chris said about him and his family. he didn't watch it. but he had people tell him what chris said.
