WILL Smith has finally apologized after HITTING Chris Rock on stage for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith during the Oscars.
Will Smith made a public apology to Chris Rock on Monday night, calling his own behavior at the Academy Awards "unacceptable and inexcusable." “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. “Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.” Smith's first Oscar win was shrouded in controversy after the actor tearfully apologized on stage following the incident with comedian Rock in which he appeared to hit him during the live awards ceremony.
Philadelphia-born Smith, 53, appeared to take offense to a gag Rock made on stage about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair loss, resulting in him marching on stage to confront the comedian.
