Wanda Sykes, who co-hosted the Oscars with Regina Hall and Amy Schumer, revealed that Chris Rock apologized to her at the after party because it was her night. Will Smith slapped Chris on stage at the Oscars, becoming the event's only talking point. On her show, Wanda pointed out to Ellen DeGeneres that Will apologized to Chris but not to her.

During an arrival on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Wanda discussed the incident. She claimed she ran into Chris at the afterparty, and he apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry." When she questioned why he apologized to her, he replied, "Your night was supposed to be yours. You, Amy, and Regina were all doing a fantastic job. Please accept my heartfelt apologies. This is what this is going to be about now."

Wanda expressed her outrage at Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, saying, "I was heartbroken for my friend. It was revolting. I became physically ill due to it, and I'm still traumatized by it."

She also asked why no action was taken immediately following the incident. "And the fact that they let him stay in that room for the rest of the show and accept his award made me think, 'How gross is this?' "This is simply sending the wrong message," she explained. "Unfortunately, Will could not be here tonight," Wanda said she would have simply declared if he was escorted outside the venue."

"No one has apologized to us," Wanda said, and Ellen agreed. We put in a lot of effort to put the show together." When the incident occurred, Wanda was backstage for a brief moment and took the time to acknowledge it.
