After Chris Rock spoke out for the first time since getting slapped in the face by Will Smith, people are pointing out one specific issue.

In what was arguably the most viral moment of the year so far, the comedian suffered a smack to the face after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith's hair – a result of alopecia.

Rock joked: "Jada, I love you. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see you."

At first, Smith appeared to laugh it off while Pinkett Smith rolled her eyes, but then he walked onto the stage and slapped the comedian.

As Smith walked off stage after hitting Rock, the seemingly-stunned comedian says: "Oh wow... wow. Will Smith just smacked the s**t out of me."

Will angrily replied to the comment, shouting: "Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth!"

The whole room then became uncomfortably silent, and Rock replied: "Wow, dude, it was a G.I. Jane joke!"

Smith once again yelled: "Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth!"

The Men In Black actor has since apologised for the incident – however, people are pointing out how Rock is yet to apologise to Pinkett Smith.

One user wrote: "Where is Jada’s apology???"

Another said: "How about an apology to Jada from Chris Rock or will The Academy be self-reflecting on their own choices for hosts?"

How many days have passed without an apology to Jada?

A third commented: "How Will Smith the insult was wrong but, @chrisrock insulting joke speaks for itself. Rock owes Jada Smith an apology!

@GMA What Will Smith did was wrong, but why is everyone letting Chris Rock off so easily? He still hasn't given a full apology, especially to Jada.

— Sanford Josephson (@jzzntes) March 31, 2022

Someone else added: "No apology for crass joke and past attacks on Jada that started the whole thing?

"When Smith stepped on stage Rock said "Uh oh".....knowing that Smith was pissed. Why not immediately apologize and defuse the situation.

"Yes, Smith shouldn't slap him but Rock was wrong too."

Well, just days after the incident, Rock returned to the stage for a sold-out stand-up show in Boston, where he received a standing ovation from the front two rows of seats as he made his appearance. 

The 57-year-old comedian was performing at the Wilbur Theatre last night, 30 March, as part of his ‘Ego Death’ tour when he addressed the situation, saying he wasn’t ready to crack jokes about it. 

Per the MailOnline, he told crowds: “Let me be all misty and s**t. I don't have a bunch of s**t to say about that, so if you came here for that...

“I had written a whole show before this weekend. I'm still processing what happened, so at some point I'll talk about that s**t. It'll be serious. It'll be funny, but right now I'm going to tell some jokes.”

Rock also said he hasn't 'talked to anyone, despite what you heard'.
