Will Smith apologizes to Chris Rock for slap

LOS ANGELES,- Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock on Monday for slapping a comedian at the Oscars on Sunday night, the film academy said it would take action against Smith for such an incident. Which may have subdued the highest awards in the industry. .

Smith said in a post on Instagram that his behavior at the televised ceremony was “unacceptable and unforgivable.”

I would like to apologize publicly to you, Chris,” Smith wrote. “I was out of line and I was wrong.”

After the comedian mocked Smith’s wife, Smith climbed onto the stage and hit Rock in the face. Less than an hour later, Smith won the Best Actor award for his role as the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams in “King Richard.”

Rock joked about Jada Panket Smith, referring to the 1997 film “GI Jane” in which actress Demi Moore shaved her head. It was not clear if Rock knew Smith’s wife had a hair loss.
