Will Smith Apologizes: I Was Out Of Line

Will Smith has issued an apology to Chris Rock in the wake of the slap heard around the world. As we told you, the newly-minted Oscar winner assaulted the comedian after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith that she didn’t like.

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable,” Will said in his Insta-statement. “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.” 

Will went on to say, “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 also apologized to the Academy, the attendees, the producers, and everyone watching as well as the Williams family and his “King Richard” family. Referring to himself as a work in progress, he finished with, “I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.” You can the missive in its entirety below…

Lachey, who was dining with wife, Vanessa Lachey,  reportedly saw the photographer snap pics of them from her car, then crossed the street, punched her window, and called her a "p**** mother f*****." After some more back and forth with the photographer, Nick reached into her car trying to grab the phone out of her hands.

Afterwards, as Nick, Vanessa, and another women were walking back to their hotel, Nick was caught yelling and flipping off photographers . The original photographer claimed that she smelled alcohol on his breath. 

The next day, Nick apologized, tweeting, “Last night, after enjoying a great dinner with my wife and our dear friend, the paparazzi harassed us as we walked back to our hotel," adding, "I clearly overreacted. I’ve been in this game long enough to know that their antics are sadly part of the deal. Stupid of me. Done.”
