Will Smith has issued a public apology to Chris Rock after slapping the comedian on stage at the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday night.
During the Oscars telecast, Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia, a medical condition that causes hair loss. Smith reacted to Rock’s joke by walking up to him on stage and striking him, then returning to his seat and yelling, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f—ing mouth.”
This has made many people react to it including Steve Harvey. According to him, it was a joke which wouldn’t have been met with violence.
