Wanda Sykes did not mince words.

Will Smith’s Oscars slap sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry, sparking a conversation that’s still going nearly two months later.

Wanda Sykes, who co-hosted this year’s Academy Awards, falls into the latter category.

Like everyone else in attendance at this year’s Oscars, Wanda Sykes witnessed Will Smith slap Chris Rock on stage after the comedian made a joke regarding his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

At the time, she also stated that she felt “awful” for longtime friend Chris Rock following the televised moment.

Wanda Sykes is far from the only person within the comedy world to have shared honest thoughts on Will Smith’s actions.

Other comedians like Richard Ayoade have remained neutral, yet he did make a joke about it, which drew big laughs at an awards show.

At this point, Will Smith has been banned from the Academy for 10 years as punishment.

Chris Rock, meanwhile, hasn’t shared much about the situation but has said that he plans to open up about it after he’s been paid for his Academy Awards appearance.

Given the gravity of the slap, it’s fair to assume that comments from Wanda Sykes and others could continue to pop up for the foreseeable future.
