Will Smith awkwardly accepted his first Oscar win after slapping Chris Rock for a joke the comedian made about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett.
Washington was kneeling with his arm around Pinkett Smith when the show finally came back from commercial, as presenter Diddy attempted to move the show on — all of which was captured in a video and shared to I would like to apologise to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behaviour has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.” “I would like to publicly apologise to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.” Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada, tweeted: “And That’s How We Do It”. Online, fans questioned whether it was a planned stunt or a real and unfortunate interaction — but it appears to have been the latter. 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,” he began, before acknowledging Chris Rock. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. The apology follows the awkward altercation between Smith and Rock that took place midway through the 2022 Oscars ceremony. The proceedings come after Smith publicly apologised to Rock for the highly-publicised incident that swept the world. We also apologise to our nominees, guests and viewers for what transpired during what should have been a celebratory event.” “I will fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct.
