Comedian and actress Amy Schumer said in a since-deleted Instagram post that she is "still triggered and traumatized" over Will Smith slapping her friend Chris Rock at the Oscars.

Schumer, who co-hosted the awards ceremony, also said that she believes Rock "handled [the incident] like a pro," commenting on his demeanor following Smith's slap.

"[Rock] stayed up there and gave an Oscar to his friend [Questlove] and the whole thing was so disturbing," Schumer described on the social media outlet.
