Hollywood superstar Will Smith hit host Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars, which became a big controversy. He had apologized several times for the incident. However, after months, Will Smith has once again apologized to Chris Rock through a video shared on YouTube.
Smith said in the video that he had reached out to Chris Rock, but he was unwilling to speak to him directly. ‘So, I’m saying, Chris, you’ve got to forgive me..’ – pleaded Will Smith.
Smith apologized to Chris’ mother and brother. “My behavior was never acceptable and I apologize to you. If you’re ready to talk, I’m here to let you know. “I saw an interview with Chris’s mother. I wasn’t conscious of anything when I did that, but that moment hurt a lot of people,” Will Smith added.
In the video, Smith also answered questions about why he didn’t apologize to Chris Rock in his Oscar acceptance speech. “Everything was a blur at that time. Everything was unclear. “I approached Chris, but the response I got was that Chris was not ready to talk,” he said.
Shocking events unfolded when the award for best documentary was presented at the Oscar ceremony. Comedian Chris Rock was making a mocking remark about Jada Pinkett Smith’s appearance on stage. Jada arrived with a bald head due to alopecia. Chris Rock was referring to their shaved heads. Chris Rock compared Jada to Demi Moore’s look in GI Jane. Will Smith immediately got up from his seat and came to the stage and slapped Chris Rock in the face. “Don’t talk about my wife with your dirty mouth,” he said loudly.
