Chris Rock has finally opened up about the Will Smith Oscar slap during his Netflix comedy special Chris Rock: Selective Outrage.

The comedian addressed the incident involving Smith almost a year later at the stage of the Academy Awards and said that he is now "ready" to move past it.

An insider split to Entertainment Tonight that "Everyone was very happy with how it turned out," before adding that Rock was "in his element and was calm and comfortable onstage."

The insider noted that it was a "big deal" for Rock as it was addressed the Smith Slap for the first time at the live event.

"He said everything he wanted to say. It was funny, self-deprecating, and thought-provoking” and now “Chris is ready to move on," the source added.

Whereas, another insider revealed, "Chris thinks his Netflix special was amazing and he feels great. He is glad he waited to debut his material on Netflix for such a big audience and to finally share his reaction to what happened with Will."

The outlet further shared, "Chris’ comedian friends have had his back throughout everything, including Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld. His crew all sticks together and agreed Will was out of line for slapping Chris."

"They all appreciate the way Chris handled it and feel like it helps all of them because comedians should not be attacked or hit. Chris is in a great place and happy. He came out on top and believes he has done the right thing since it went down. He is grateful for all the support," the source added
