'It was a good joke, a funny joke'
Shortly after Will’s altercation with Chris, he took to Instagram to apologize for the incident. In a lengthy statement, Will called violence"poisonous and destructive" and called his actions"unacceptable and inexcusable." He went on to explain that hearing a joke about Jada, who suffers from alopecia, had been too much for him to bear and he"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," Will wrote. He went on to apologize to the Academy, producers and viewers of the show as well as his"King Richard" family. Smith, who won the award for Best Actor soon after slapping Rock during the ceremony, eventually resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
