Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock on Monday after slapping the comedian during a dispute at the Academy Awards.
“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.”
He apologized to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and to his fellow nominees during his acceptance speech Sunday, but didn’t mention Rock at the time.
