Comedian Katherine Ryan said if you can't take a joke you should 'stay home' (Getty)[/caption]
Taking to social media, Ryan started conversations with her followers on Instagram and later posted these onto her stories.
In a screenshot shared to Ryan's account, one fan wrote: "I don’t condone what he did, violence is never the answer but just because Chris is a ‘comedian’, it means Will has to sit and watch his wife be insulted? Chris shouldn’t have said it, Will shouldn’t have hit him."
Ryan shot back: "Yes, he has to sit and watch his wife be insulted, yes that’s the point of the celeb monologue.
"Can't take a joke, stay home," she added.

Another fan focused on the politics of Rock's joke, writing: "I felt the same initially about Smith (get back in your box, dude) but the focus on the slap itself and not the humiliation of a Black woman with a condition on a world stage surely isn’t being given enough focus?"
Ryan responded: "Yes I know and maybe you don’t know that CHRIS ROCK MADE AN ENTIRE DOCUMENTARY CALLED GOOD HAIR.”"
