Will Smith APOLOGIZES To Chris Rock For His 'Inexcusable' SLAP, After Joke About His Wife's Hair At The Oscars

  

Will Smith on Monday apologized for slapping Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars after Rock joked about Smith's wife's hair.

Jada Pinkett Smith suffers from alopecia and Rock laughed at her expense, joking that she was ready for a role in GI Jane - a gag that Pinkett Smith greeted with a grim eye roll.

Will Smith, 53, wrote on Instagram: 

"My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable."

He apologized to Rock and to the Academy, plus 'the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world.'

He also said sorry to the Williams family, who were shocked by his behavior - which happened shortly before he won the best actor award for King Richard.

Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,' he wrote. 

'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.'

Smith then went on to say sorry to the organizers and the producers of the show.

Rock has not responded to Smith's apology, or commented on the Sunday night incident.

People shouldn’t get the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine when the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots are available, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. The recommendation, from CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, came hours after members of the agency's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted in favor of the guidance. The panel convened following an update from the Food and Drug Administration on the risk of rare but potentially life-threatening blood clots linked to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.  At least 54 people in the U.S., most of them women, have been hospitalized by the blood clots, and nine people have died. "Today’s updated recommendation emphasizes CDC’s commitm...
