Zack Sharf Amy Schumer performed a stand-up comedy set at Las Vegas’ Mirage Theater on April 2, where she continued to discuss Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards.

Schumer co-hosted the ceremony alongside Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. The comedian wrote on social media following the Oscars that she was “still triggered and traumatized” by Smith’s slap.

Schumer referred to Smith as “Ali” during her April 2 comedy set, a reference to Smith’s performance as boxer Muhammed Ali.“I was kind of feeling myself…and then all of a sudden Ali was making his way up,” Schumer said (via Vanity Fair). “And it was just a fucking bummer.

All I can say is that it was really sad, and I think it says so much about toxic masculinity.
