Sykes, who co-hosted Sunday at the Dolby Theatre with Amy Schumer and Regina Hall, told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview to air April 7 that she missed the confrontation live as she walked between her trailer and the theater after a costume change.
"Then someone showed me on the video," Sykes said, "and I just felt so awful for my friend, Chris. It was sickening. I physically felt ill, and I'm still a little traumatized by it."Smith, seated close to the stage during the awards show, walked up to Rock and slapped him after the comedian made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. After he walked back to his seat, Smith cursed twice at Rock to "keep my wife’s name out your mouth.
Sykes, in a video released of her interview by "The Ellen Show," said letting Smith stay and accept his award should not have happened. Will Smith has released a statement, apologizing to Chris Rock for slapping him with an open palm during the Oscar ceremony."I'm like, ‘Why are you apologizing?’ And he was like, ‘It was supposed to be your night. You and Amy and Regina, you all were doing such a great job. I’m so sorry, this is now going to be about this.’"
