Will Smith apologizes to Chris Rock for the slap and the Academy Awards denounce the incident

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which awards the Academy Awards, on Monday condemned Will Smith's slap in the face of presenter Chris Rock on Sunday night and said it had initiated a formal review of the incident. Smith sped on stage and slapped Rock after the comedian joked about the appearance of Smith's wife. Less than an hour later, Smith won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in "King Richard" or "King Richard". The academy said in a statement that it "deplores Mr. Smith's actions at last night's ceremony," adding, "We have initiated a formal review of the incident and will consider further actions and consequences in accordance with the statute, standards of conduct and California law. " Smith described his behavior as "unacceptable and unforgivable" and indicated on his Facebook page that "joking about the health" of his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, "was very heavy" on him and his reaction came emotionally. . "Chris, I would like to publicly apologize to you," Smith wrote. "What I did crossed the line and was wrong. I am ashamed and what I did is not indicative of the man I want to be." Smith also apologized to the academy and "everyone who watches it around the world". What exactly happened? In his humor, Rock compared Smith's wife's short hair to Demi Moore's shaved head in G.I. Giovanna. It was noted that what Rock said upset Jada Pinkett Smith, who previously spoke of her hair loss due to alopecia areata. Smith laughed in jest at first, but as soon as he stepped onto the stage and slapped Rock hard in the face, the slap was heard in the microphones to the amazement of the audience in the hall and onlookers who watched the evening from their homes. "Wow. Wow. Will Smith just slapped me," Rock said in shock. "It was a GI Jane joke," he added, justifying his joke. But Smith, who had returned to sit next to his wife, replied, "Get my wife's name out of your damn mouth!"
