Hollywood actor, Will Smith has apologized for slapping comedian, Chris Rock at the 94th Oscar Academy Award.

Recall we reported earlier that Will Smith gave comedian, Chris Rock a sound slap at the 94th Oscar Academy Award after Chris made an unflattering joke about Smith’s wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith.

The actor had taken to his verified Instagram account to apologize for his unusual, inexcusable, and unacceptable act.

Will Smith disclosed that he overreacted emotionally because the joke about his wife’s health condition was too much for him to condole.

In his words, Smith wrote:

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. 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.

I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”

He also apologized to the Academy, the producers of the show, the attendees, and everyone who watched the show across the world for his actions.

He unleashed that he deeply regrets his actions by saying…

“I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees, and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.

I am a work in progress.

Sincerely,

Will”
