Will Smith Opens Up on Chris Rock Oscars Slap

Will Smith is speaking extensively about slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards.

Smith shared a video on YouTube answering everyone’s most asked questions, including why he did not apologize to Rock during his acceptance speech. After Smith slapped Rock for telling a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, he went on to win Best Actor for his role in “King Richard.”

“I was fogged out by that point,” Smith admitted about the lack of an immediate apology to Rock. “It’s all fuzzy.”

The “Gemini Man” actor revealed he has reached out to Rock to talk about the incident, but claimed the comedian is not ready to sit down with him. He also spent the 5-minute-long video apologizing to Rock and others – including Rose Rock.

“I want to apologize to Chris’ mother. I saw an interview that Chris’ mother did and, you know, that was one of the things about that moment I just didn’t realize and, you know, I wasn’t thinking, but how many people got hurt in that moment,” the actor explained.

Rose initially said the following after the slap: “When Will slapped Chris, he slapped all of us, but he really slapped me.”

“So I want to apologize to Chris’ mother. I want to apologize to Chris’ family. Specifically, Tony Rock. You know, we had a great relationship. Tony Rock was my man. And this is probably irreparable.”

Smith explained he has spent the last three months replaying the incident.

“I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment. There’s no part of me that thinks that’s the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.”

The Oscar-winning actor also clarified that his actions were not fueled by a request from Pinkett Smith.

“I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences, from my history with Chris,” he explained. “Jada had nothing to do with it.”

Smith included an apology to his family and Questlove – who won the Oscar that Rock was presenting when the slap occurred.

He ended the video explaining that “disappointing people” is Smith’s “central trauma.”

“I hate when I let people down,” Smith said. “So, it hurts. It hurts me psychologically and emotionally to know I didn’t live up to people’s image and impression of me and the work I’m trying to do is I am deeply remorseful, and I’m trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself.”

“I’m human,” he continued. “And, I made a mistake, and I’m trying not to think of myself as a piece of s–t. So, I would say to those people, I know it was confusing. I know it was shocking, but I promise you I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light and love and joy into the world, and you know if you hang on I promise we’ll be able to be friends again.”

Smith has remained mostly silent about slapping Rock. He released a public apology via Instagram days after the Oscars ceremony.

Rock has publicly talked about the incident. Most recently, he discussed the slap during a comedy show with Kevin Hart.

“Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face,” Rock told the crowd, according to Us Weekly. He later added, “I’m not a victim. Yeah, that s–t hurt, motherf–ker. But, I shook that s–t off and went to work the next day. I don’t go to the hospital for a paper cut.”

    What a lame BS apology. His wife had everything to do with his slapping Rock because he initially laughed at the joke until he saw Jada was not laughing. He then got up and slapped him, which is the way that animals react. He knew nothing would happen to him because he’s black.

    A person especially a celebrity should have more control over his hot-headed arrogant asshole self
    Sorry doesn’t really cut it
    It’s easy for these people that think they are above everyone else to do despicable things and saying I am sorry is going to make it better If you weren’t an asshole in the first place you wouldn’t need to say I am sorry
    Just empty words
    This prick should forfeit his Oscar!!!

    I am fed up with celebrities and their attitudes and offering their shit-ass opinions about politics since most of them just say what CNN tells them to say No real opinion just puppets repeating what they have been told by the mainstream media

    A despicable act by Will Smith and this so called apology is 100% B.S. So Long Will…

    Will doesn’t owe an apology. He should slap him again if anyone.

    Will doesn’t owe an apology. He should slap him again if anything.

    He deserves to get his face hit so hard that his jaw is broke and mouth wired for several months

    It is a shame that one moment of stupidity can define us, but that is why we need to always be diligent of how we behave. I don’t believe for moment that Jada had nothing to do with Will’s attacking Rock. Will can easily be seen initially laughing at Rock’s comment, and then, after looking at Jada and seeing how irritated (not really hurt) look, Will went into wife protection mode. From the viewpoint of most who saw that interaction between Jada and Will, it seems clear that Will is really whipped.

    Leftnik celebrities enjoy a sense of entitlement that dwarfs the entitlement regular leftniks have. Look what Kanye West got away with repeatedly. And Kamamalala Harris.

    Once in a while they get held to account for just a tiny fraction of what they deserve, and they collapse and disintegrate.

    Smith is “trying to feel remorseful without being ashamedddd,” LOL.

    This guy is so fake that Stevie Wonder could see through him.
