Will Smith officially apologizes to Chris Rock for the slap at the Oscars, the Academy enters the investigation

After the shocking slap at the Oscars 2022, Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock.

The annual Oscar ceremony is the place to gather many talents, outstanding screen masterpieces and interesting highlights to keep the event warm. And the focus of this year's awards ceremony is again on Will Smith's physical impact on Chris Rock.

Specifically, on the stage of the awards ceremony, Chris Rock expressed his anticipation for the sequel to the movie GI Jane and mentioned his wife Will Smith - actress Jada Pinkett-Smith as a good candidate. The reason is because GI Jane's main character appears with a shaved head, and Jada Pinkett-Smith is also famous for her bald hair. This is considered the most ungainly joke in Oscar history because it disparages looks.

But the problem doesn't just stop at "body shaming". It turns out that Will Smith's wife has to go bald not because of personal preference but because she suffers from Alopecia - alopecia areata caused by an autoimmune disorder. This is the reason why Will Smith can't control his anger and "gives" Chris Rock a big punch when his wife becomes the main character in an ungainly joke.

There were praises for Will Smith's punch, but soon after, there were also protests and considered it an inappropriate violent act of retaliation in the context of a prestigious awards ceremony.

On the morning of March 29 (Vietnam time), Will Smith caused a stir when he officially spoke out about the scandal of slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars stage and apologized to his colleagues. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also spoke out yesterday, confirming that it will investigate and review the incident in accordance with the California Code, Standards of Conduct and Law. The original text of the letter shared by the actor himself through MXH is as follows:

"Violence in any form is toxic and causes great harm. My actions at the Oscars last night were unacceptable and inexcusable. Joking is also a 1 part of my job, but the joke about Jada's health was too much for me, and I reacted in an overly emotional way.

Chris, I want to formally apologize to you. I was over the limit, I was wrong. I'm really embarrassed, this action has made me reveal a side I don't want. A world filled with love and compassion leaves no room for violence.

I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the show's producers, all the guests who attended and those who watched the show around the world. I want to apologize to the Williams family, the King Richard family (the movie that won Will Smith's "Best Actor" Oscar). I deeply regret that my behavior has tainted our wonderful journey.

I will correct myself.

Best regards".

Using violence in response is never a laudable act. There are countless other ways to avoid making the millions of people watching the live screen feel like they are encouraged to publicly retaliate. But, Will Smith is also human. And as human beings, there will always be certain limits for them to stand up for what they consider important in life. With Will Smith, as wife.

In 1994, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett first met when she went to audition for the movie The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air starring the actor. However, at that time, Will Smith was married to Sheree Zampino and had a son named Trey.

In 1995, the couple began a relationship after Will Smith broke up with Sheree Zampino. In 1997, Will Smith proposed to his wife. The private wedding between the two took place at a hotel in Baltimore, Jada's hometown. A year later, the couple welcomed their first child, Jaden. The love story spanning more than 2 decades of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith always makes many people wonder that the actor is indeed a great and perfect husband.
