Three days after Will Smith’s stunning slap of Chris Rock, Oscars co-host Amy Schumer says she is “still triggered and traumatized” over the “disturbing” incident.
The actor and comedian tried to lighten the mood during the show on Sunday night when she returned after Smith’s actions and said, “I’ve been getting out of that Spider-Man costume. Did I miss anything?”
She then reflected on the incident in an Instagram post early Wednesday that has since been removed.
“I think we can all agree that the best way to unpack what happened is to stream my series @lifeandbethhulu and see me on tour this fall. But for real. Still triggered and traumatized,” she wrote. “I love my friend @chrisrock and believe he handled it like a pro. Stayed up there and gave an Oscar to his friend @questlove and the whole thing was so disturbing.
“So much pain in @willsmith anyway I’m still in shock and stunned and sad. Im proud of myself and my cohosts. But yeah. Waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed.”
The “Life and Beth” star received support for her performance following her comments on Instagram.
“You were fabulous hilarious and beautiful 👏🔥❤️” Sharon Stone commented.
“So proud of you you your the best !!!!” Kathy Hilton of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” wrote.
“Grace,” singer Brandi Carlile commented.
