It took away from the Williams family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The host noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/will-smith-issues-apology-to-chris-rock-says-he-was-out-of-line-and-wrong\">Smith has since apologized<\/a> for striking Rock, stating that he was both \u201cout of line\u201d and \u201cwrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>That was when DeGeneres turned to Sykes, asking her to explain where she had been when Smith slapped Rock. The 58-year-old comedian said she and fellow co-host Regina Hall had introduced Chris, after which she rushed off to her trailer to get changed because she wanted to catch her pal Rock do his bit in the theater.<\/p>\n<p>Sykes said between the time she left her trailer and got back to the theater it had already happened, and all she caught was the \u201cKing Richard\u201d star walking off the stage and cursing at Rock from his seat to keep the star\u2019s wife\u2019s name out of \u201chis f***ing mouth.\u201d Someone then had to show Sykes what she had missed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I just felt so awful for Chris, my friend,\u201d Sykes shared. \u201cAnd it was sickening. I physically felt ill. And I\u2019m still a little traumatized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe too,\u201d Ellen replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for them to let him stay in that room and enjoy the rest of the show and accept his award, I was like how gross is this,\u201d Wanda said. \u201cThis is just the wrong message. You assault somebody, you get escorted out the building and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for them to let him continue I thought it was gross,\u201d she added, noting that she, Hall and Amy Schumer were the hosts of the night, it was their job to make sure everyone had a good time. \u201cAnd no one has apologized to us. We worked really hard to put that show together. Like the industry itself, like what the hell is this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeGeneres agreed and said it wasn\u2019t \u201can example\u201d to set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t let someone do something like that and get away with it and be rewarded, \u201d Ellen told Sykes who agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the \u201cEvan Almighty\u201d star revealed she ran into Rock at a party after the show and he made it a point to apologize to her, which Sykes said she found surprising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd as soon as I walked up to him the first thing he said was \u2018I am so sorry,&#8217;\u201d Sykes shared. \u201cAnd I\u2019m like why are you apologizing. And he said \u2018it was supposed to be your night, you and Amy and Regina. You all were doing such a great job. I\u2019m so sorry this is now going to be about this.\u2019 Because that\u2019s who Chris is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Enter for the chance to hang out with Gina Carano at the premiere of her new Daily Wire movie, Terror on the Prairie!
