Will Smith apologizes to Chris Rock for slapping him at Oscars
BY , Mar 30, 2022 8:38 PM - REPORT AN ERRORAmerican actor Will Smith apologized to comedian Chris Rock for hitting him during the Oscar ceremony and said he was "out of line and was embarrassed".
"I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness," Smith wrote on Instagram.
"Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behaviour at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally," Smith said in his apology.
He also apologizes to the Academy for slapping comedian Chris Rock.
Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage after he got miffed at the latter's joke directed at his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
The 94th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday.
