Will Smith offers apology to Chris Rock for striking him at the Academy Awards

OHMYGOSSIP — Will Smith says he was “out of line” and “wrong” to strike Chris Rock.
The ‘King Richard” wanted to “publicly apologize” to the 57-year-old comic after the 53-year-old actor jumped on stage to smack him across the face for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith’s alopecia.
Will said on Instagram on Monday (28.03.22): “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.”
Will – who went on to win Best Actor minutes after he struck Chris – extended his sorrow to “the Academy, the producers, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world.”
He said: “I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.
Will – who is currently under review by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – condemned “violence in all its forms” before calling his behavior was “inexcusable”.
He said: Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior 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.
Will concluded his statement by declaring himself “a work in progress.”
