Popular American actor, Will Smith has tendered a public apology to Chris Rock after he slapped him at the 2022 Oscars.
It can be recalled that the duo had made headlines yesterday after Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s medical condition which had resulted in her hair loss. The actor who couldn’t contain his rage at the joke stormed off and slapped the stand-up comedian.
The movie star has now tendered his apology to his fellow entertainer, saying he was wrong to have assaulted him on live telecast. Smith said he only reacted emotionally because Rock’s joke about Jada’s condition was too much for him.
He also extended his apology to the Academy as well his family and viewers all around the world.
