The incident where Will Smith beat the presenter at the Oscars announcement was a big discussion. The Academy of Oscars has also imposed a 10-year ban on Will Schmidt for beating presenter Chris Rock. The film world came to the scene with different reactions to the incident. Will Smith has come out with his response to the academy’s decision.
Speaking to the media, Will Smith said he accepted and respected Akadi’s decision. The board decided that Schmidt would not be allowed to participate in academy events, directly or indirectly, including the Academy Awards. Presenter Chris Rock joked about his wife Jaida’s illness, and Smith lost control and hit the stage. The announcement of Will Schmidt’s Best Actor came shortly after the event. Smith had apologized for his behavior during his award-winning speech. He later shared a detailed post on the social media platform.
Note by Will Smith
Violence of any kind is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at the Academy Awards last night was unacceptable and unforgivable. All the jokes about me can be told there. That’s part of the job. But a joke about Jaida’s medical condition is not something I can afford. My reaction was emotional.
Chris, I want to apologize publicly to you. For a moment I gave up and I made a mistake. I’m ashamed of that. I’m not a man who aspires to be. Violence has no place in the world of love and compassion.
I apologize to the academy, the producers of the show, the audience and the audience around the world. I apologize to the Williams family and the King Richard family. I am deeply sorry that my behavior has tarnished our journey, which could have been otherwise magnificent. I’m a work in progress. Sincerely, Will.
