Will Smith had slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscar Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday. Chris had made fun of Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith, pointing out her shaved head.
However, Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock after the Academy Awards ceremony. He said, “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong.” He also added that jokes are a part of a comedian’s job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was unbearable and that is why he reacted emotionally toward it.
By now, the video of the slap has gone viral. It came as a surprise to many as Will Smith is generally a kind and calm person. And although Chris looked startled after the slap, he told the audience that it was the greatest night in the history of television.
