Will Smith is finally addressing the Oscar slap drama.
He posted a new video, titled "It's been a minute," to social media on Friday answering questions about shockingly slapping presenter Chris Rock during the March Academy Awards telecast. The comedian had made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, unaware she has alopecia, triggering Smith who stormed to the stage."Over the last few months I've been doing a lot of thinking and personal work," a title card said at the start of the nearly six-minute video. "You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer."Smith went on to tackle them, starting with why he didn't apologize to Rock that night when, a short time after the slap, Smith was back onstage to collect the Best Actor award for King Richard.
"Um... I was fogged out by that point. It's all fuzzy," he said. "I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is he's not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk."
He continued, "I was to apologize to Chris's mother," saying he saw an interview she gave about the slap. "That was one of the things about that moment. I just didn't realize ... how many people got hurt in that moment. So I want to apologize to Chris's mother. I want to apologize to Chris's family, specifically Tony Rock. We had a great relationship. Tony Rock was my man. This is probably irreparable."
