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.

President Buhari, Federal Government, Donates $1m To Afghanistan

  The Resource Centre for Human Rights & Civic Education (CHRICED) has faulted the Federal Government’s $1 million donations to Afghanistan’s Taliban government, saying the move made no economic sense, according to the Guardian news. The group also condemned the high cost of the nomination form for presidential aspirants by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), noting that it would pave way for corruption to subsist. Addressing a press conference on the state of the nation in Abuja yesterday, the group’s Executive Director, Ibrahim Zikirullahi, said such a gift to Afghanistan should not come from a government that claims to be fighting terrorism. Reports had it that the donation was to boost Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) efforts at easing the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Zikirullah argued: “That ill-advised donation ignored the fact that the Taliban is led by terrorists, who have no respect for women and have prevented women from attending school. ...
