Will Smith, Chris Rock



Will Smith has apologized to Chris Rock for his ‘unacceptable and inexcusable’ behavior and said ‘there’s no place for violence’ after slapping him at the Oscars.

Will Smith has issued an apology for what has now become known as “the slap heard around the world.” After storming on stage and slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, the King Richard actor has called his actions “inexcusable.” He wrote out a public apology to Chris and uploaded the text as a picture on Instagram. “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” he started off his lengthy post.
He then stated how he let the emotions get the best of him during the 94th Annual Academy Awards. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable,” he continued. “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.”

He then addressed the Everybody Hates Chris actor directly in the public eye for the first time since the slap. “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris,” he added. “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.”
He also apologized to “the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world” as well as “the Williams Family and my King Richard Family.” He concluded his apology by stating that he is a “work in progress.”
