All the love. Will Smith’s family is proud of him after he publicly apologized to Chris Rock. Sources reveal that they love him regardless and are enthusiastic that he took a step in the right direction.

Sources close to the Smith family revealed to Hollywood Life on August 2, 2022, that they are completely understanding of Will’s actions to apologize. “Jada is proud that Will finally made the decision to apologize publicly,” the source said. “She feels that in addition to the written apology, him opening up about it by talking was a better way to convey the truth in his heart.

Will wishes he could take it all back, but he can’t and all he can do is try to heal the wounds from here.”  On how he feels about the apology, the source noted that Will wanted to wait it off. “It’s something he’s struggled with because he didn’t want an apology to come off as inauthentic or disingenuous,” the source continued.” He needed some time to do some soul searching and wanted to respond accordingly.

Despite Will’s apology, he understands if Chris isn’t ready to accept it at this point. He gets that the slap didn’t only affect Chris, but it affected his career, his family and friends, it affected every aspect of his life.
