Smith Rock

Will Smith has apologised for slapping Chris Rock at The Oscars , saying his behaviour was " unacceptable and inexcusable".

" I would like to publicly apologise to you, Chris, " He Said in a statement. " I was out of line and I was wrong. "

It Comes after The Oscars film academy condemned Smith over The Incident and announced a formal review.

The Star slapped Rock in The Face On Stage after The Comic made a joke about The Actor 's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Rock had taken aim at Pinkett Smith's Shaved Head , a result of the hair-loss condition alopecia.

Moments later Smith picked up The First Oscar of his career for playing The Father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard .

" Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive, " Smith said in The Statement , which was posted to Instagram.

" My behaviour at Last Night 's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. 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. "

Smith apologised directly to Rock, stating he was " out of line". He also apologised to The Academy and the Williams family.

" I deeply regret that my behaviour has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us, " he wrote.
