Will Smith publicly apologizes to Chris Rock. The Oscar-winning actor for the movie “King Richard” took to his Instagram to publicly apologize to Chris Rock, whom he slapped at the Oscars after he made a joke about Jada’s hairstyle comparing it to that of “GI Jane” – a movie starring Demi Moore.

He also apologized to the Academy, producers, ceremony attendees, viewers, the Williams Family and the King Richard film crew. The actor admits that he reacted badly (because he saw the joke as an attack on Jada’s condition) and is ashamed of what happened.

“Violence in all its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior last night at the Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me and I reacted emotionally.

I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of place and I was wrong. I am ashamed 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.

I would like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, the attendees and everyone who saw it around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard family. I deeply regret that my behavior has tarnished what has been a beautiful journey for all of us.

I am a work in progress.

To be honest,

Will.”
