 God, I can't believe I have to do this. What is this room even? Is this how poor people live? Hey guys, just wanted to let you know it's been a hot minute since I've talked about this. Thing that happened 17 years ago, but I've had some time to reflect. I looked inward. I looked at myself in the mirror and the reflection staring back at me said, hey buddy, you're not a bad guy. You're not a complete piece of shit. You just need to talk to people about what happened at the Oscars. Most of you know this story, but a couple of you don't. Months ago, Chris Rock was doing a little routine during the Academy Awards and he made fun of Jada Pinkett Smith. I mean, he didn't really make fun of her. He made a joke about G.I. Jane and he kind of complimented her by saying that she rocks a nice smooth head of hair or lack thereof. Will Smith got mad, bitch slapped Chris Rock and then sat back down and started swearing, started cussing him out. And I was watching this at a party at a friend's house and was honestly pretty upset about it. But did someone at the party had the gall to stand up and say good for Will Smith? Rock had it coming. Well, that upset me. So I stood up and I smacked the shit out of that person. And they went down. Half of the audience applauded and were very happy for me and the other half just kind of sit there stunned in silence. But then the Academy Awards continued like nothing happened and so did our party. I think the guy I hit, I don't remember his name, Kip or Skippy, it doesn't matter. He was in the bathroom, I think I seen himself probably crying at the embarrassment that took place on the stage. But I've had some time to reflect on it and there's been questions from the fans that I feel like I need to address. Adam, what do you say to your millions of fans around the world that look up to you but after seeing this event feel a little betrayed? To them, I say, hey, look, I'm human. If you prick me, I bleed. I'm just a man trying to find his place in this topsy-turvy world. Am I gonna be perfect? No. Am I gonna make mistakes? Of course. Am I gonna roll up $100 bills and do cocaine off the back of a stripper's ass? Of course. That's what us regular people do. But that doesn't mean I don't understand where you're coming from and see that I'm clearly in the wrong here, kind of, but not really. And listen, if that person ever wants to have kind of a dialogue about it, they ever wanna get back to me? I'm all ears, I haven't heard from them. So really, it's kind of almost their fault. I've been literally sitting next to my phone waiting for it to ring. Should I be sitting down, by the way? Does that humanize me more? Does that make me seem like I'm more of a common man? I'm gonna keep standing, I'm above everybody. So I wanna say to you, Clay or Crispin, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry. That took some courage for me, but I'm not done. I also wanna say to your mother, who quite frankly put me on blast when she was interviewed on, I don't know, some news network thing. I'm sorry to you too. I'm sorry that you felt the need to have to slander my good name to defend your son. Who honestly, kind of a douche. But I apologize. Lastly, I want to apologize to the people that really got hurt by this. And that's my family, the people closest to me. I wanna apologize to my son, who went on Twitter right after this and started talking shit about who I slapped and saying like, that's how we do things. That's how we get things done in this family. I wanna apologize to my wife, who went on her talk show, The Blue Table, and kind of bragged about me and how I stood up for her and did the right thing. We look out for our own. They were victims in this. They did nothing wrong. They said nothing wrong. Here's a great question I get all the time. Adam, why don't you bring up the slap later at the party? When you knew he was in the bathroom crying and using frozen peas to absorb the pain that you put on him. Listen, honestly, I wasn't in the right headspace at the time. I had just crushed an eight hour energy drink and a Red Bull, which it's a dangerous combination to begin with. Plus I had the adrenaline from slapping a man with an open hand and then swearing at him when I got back to my seat, a legend, a comedian that's been in the entertainment industry for like four decades. And so I just wasn't in the right mindset. I wasn't in the right space. Good question. I love getting that question. Thank you. We done with this bullshit now? Can I go home? Whose house is this anyways? Awful. My publicist has put me up to this. I'm like, dude, enough time has passed. People already moved on with their lives. They really don't care about this crap anymore. Should I lose a button? Should I pop this up more so they can see the pecs? Not that kind of video. Okay, well, they're lost. What about a hat? Should I put a hat on? That's relatable, right? Maybe have it sit like way off my head almost like it's floating above me. Workshop it. You can CGI it in later if you want. What's your name anyways? Wait, are you the one I slapped?
