Will Smith has finally addressed the Academy Awards night where he slapped Chris Rock apologising profusely to the comedian and his family and reached out saying 'I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk'.
Rock had been presenting an award on stage when he joked about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s shaved head when Smith stormed on stage and slapped the comedian in front of a shocked audience.

However there was no mention of revoking Smith’s Oscar for Best Actor - which he was given after he slapped Rock in the face - for his role in King Richard. Smith also said there is “no part” of him that believes he behaved or reacted in the right way to Rock’s joke about his wife.
“Jada had nothing to do with it. I'm sorry, babe. I wanna say sorry to my kids and my family for the heat that I brought on all of us,” he said.
