“It was a good show and then the slap happened,” she said.

“I had no thoughts of like how it affected me or my performance or anything. It was just upsetting as a person.”

“It was so upsetting. People made fun of me for saying that it was traumatizing, but I don’t think it was traumatizing for me. I think it was traumatizing for all of us,” she went on to say.

“I don’t remember a time I didn’t think, ‘I love that guy,’” she added of Will Smith.

“It was upsetting for so many reasons and it was upsetting to everyone…it was shocking, and it was a bummer.”

“The reason why Chris Rock could stand there, and get hit in the face, and then stay up there with composure and give his friend [Questlove] an Oscar is because he’s a comedian. Everything that you’re afraid of happens to you while you’re on stage, and then you’re just desensitized, so you’re not shocked by anything,” she continued.
