‘Triggered’ Oscars host Amy Schumer says she’s ‘traumatized’ by watching Will Smith slap Chris Rock

Amy Schumer is “triggered and traumatized” after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars she was co-hosting, but not so much that she couldn’t use the experience to direct fans to her new Hulu show.

Schumer, who co-hosted Sunday’s dramatic awards show with Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes, took a side early Wednesday morning after the viral moment that shook the Dolby Theatre.
