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.

"The Bird Is Free." Says Elon Musk As He Takes Over Tweeter

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk has closed a $44bn deal to take over ownership of social media service, Twitter. Confirming the takeover, Musk tweeted “the bird is freed”. In an earlier tweet where he addressed Twitter advertisers explaining why he is acquiring the app, Musk said, “The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence.” He added, “There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left-wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society, “In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost,” Musk said. Musk, however, warned that even though he wants to make the app a free space, “Twi...
