Will Smith Has Publicly Apologized To Comedian Chris Rock And The Film Academy In A Letter

Actor and Rapper Will Smith has openly tendered an apology to the film academy for his misconduct at the Oscars. He apologized to colleague and ‘brother’ Chris Rock for his actions. Even though Chris has refused to press charges against Will after the embarrassing event. Will deeply regretted his emotional outburst. In his exact words, see below…

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. 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.

I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.

I am a work in progress.

Sincerely,

Will”
