'UNACCEPTABLE AND INEXCUSABLE': Will Smith issues an apology for slapping Chris Rock during Sunday's Academy Awards over a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.
Smith added in his post that, “Violence in all forms is poisonous and destructive.”
The camera cut to an unamused Pinkett Smith, who has been open about her struggle with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that leads to hair loss.Rock then said, “Oh uh,” and laughed as Smith walked toward him on stage and slapped Rock on the face. Smith said, “I know to do what we do, you gotta be able to take abuse and have people talk people about you. In this business, you gotta have people disrespecting you. And you gotta smile and pretend that’s ok.”
However, the reaction to the moment continued to boil overnight as after parties raged on and the morning came. Earlier on Monday, CNN learned that Academy leadership “strongly considered” removing Smith from the Oscars telecast after the incident, according to a source close to the situation.
