Four months after the violent incident at the 94th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. which occurred following a statement by the host of the ceremony, Chris Rock, who joked and told a joke about the baldness of Will Smith’s wife – Jada Pinkett Smith. The famous actor did not remain indifferent to the unsuccessful joke, got up and hit the presenter live at the climax of the Oscar ceremony and returned to his seat, which is unprecedented at the Oscar ceremony.
The moderator recovered and turned to Smith who demanded that he not mention his wife’s name. As I recall, Smith’s wife suffers from alopecia that causes, among other things, baldness.
Now, Wale Smith reacts for the first time about the incident in a 6-minute long video in which he apologizes to Rock and explains what happened in those seconds. This is how Smith wrote: “I contacted Chris and the message I received from him was that he is not ready to talk, and when that happens, he will contact me.”
Smith looked straight into the camera and said: “So I’ll tell you, Chris, I’m sorry.” My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here as soon as you feel ready to talk.”
Watch the full video:
Smith said: “I want to apologize to Chris’s mother, when I did what I did, I didn’t realize how many people I was hurting at that moment. I apologize to his mother, to his family and specifically to Tony Rock that we had a great relationship. I am in the last three months on trial Delving into what happened at that moment, I can say that there is no part of me that thinks that this was the right way to proceed at that moment. This was not the way to deal with the disrespect and insult.”
Smith even cried in the video when asked if his wife motivated him to act in this way and said: “I got the choice myself, because of my history, my wife had nothing to do with it” He asked for forgiveness from his wife and children and colleagues who voted for him and for “stealing their moment” .
Smith concludes: “I hate disappointing people. That’s why it hurts me psychologically and emotionally to know that I failed to meet people’s expectations of me. The work I’m trying to do, I’m full of pangs of conscience and I’m trying not to be ashamed of myself, I’m human. I made a mistake and I’m not trying to think about Myself as a bad person, I tell these people that I know it was confusing but I promise that I am committed to giving love and joy to the world and I promise that we will be friends again.”
