After criticizing him for not publicly apologizing to Oscars host Chris Rock, actor Will Smith announced his apology to the latter on his official page, following he suddenly slapped him for a joke he made regarding his wife.
Smith wrote: “My behavior at the Oscars is unacceptable and unforgivable. Making fun of me is part of the profession, but the jokes regarding Jada’s medical condition were too much for me to handle and my reaction was emotional.”
He continued, “Chris, I would like to publicly apologize to you. What I did crossed the line and I was wrong. I feel ashamed, and what I have done is not indicative of the man I want to be. I overstepped my bounds and was wrong. I am embarrassed by what I did, which does not represent me, either from near or far. There is no place for violence in a world brimming with love and affection.”
