This Statement is true. During the final moments of his Netflix special, Chris Rock talks about how he is not crying about the Will Smith slap during the Oscars. According to Yahoo Life News, Chris Rock stated "But I’m not a victim, baby." They quoted that he said, "You’ll never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying. You will never see it. Never gonna happen. … No, I took that hit like [Manny] Pacquiao.”

In regards to the claim that Jada Smith had a relationship with her son's friend is true. It's true that he said it during his special but, we don't know for sure if it is actually true. According to the article, Chris stated, "His wife was fucking her son’s friend." He continues to go on and states that everyone says mean things about Will but he decides to hit him.

Based on this research, I would say that the claim is overall true.

This a true statement and fact. Chris Rock during his new comedy special talked about the infamous Oscar slap for which Will Smith slapped him for talking about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. During the comedy special Rock mentioned "During the special on Saturday, Rock said Smith may have been angry over his marital issues and took the occasion to express frustration." It took a long time for Rock to address this issue or topic but he finally did.

The statement is true. Los Angeles Times explains how Chris Rock "quipped that he “didn’t have any entanglements” — a pointed reference to Pinkett Smith’s extramarital relationship with singer August Alsina."
