Actor Will Smith apologized to the Hollywood Academy and comedian Chris Rock on Sunday at the Oscars after joking about the physical condition of Jade Pinkett, actor and partner of Will Smith, who suffers from alopecia. “Violence in all its forms is poisonous and destructive. “My behavior was unacceptable and unjustified,” he said on his Instagram account.
In the post, Smith admitted that jokes at his expense were “part of his job”, but the joke about “Jada’s medical condition” was “too much” for him and he therefore reacted “emotionally”. “I want to apologize publicly, Chris. “I was out of place and I was wrong,” he wrote.
At the gala, Rocky took to the stage at the Dolby Theater to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary and joked about Jada Pinkett-Smith shaving her head, who publicly admitted she suffered from alopecia, comparing it to Lieutenant O’Neill. From Ridley Scott’s film. After Pinkett-Smith made an annoying gesture, her husband got up from the scene and walked off the stage to slap Rock in the face. “Do not take my wife’s name out of your mouth,” cried Smith in general astonishment.
“I am ashamed and my behavior was not a sign of what I want to be. “There is no place for violence in the world of love and kindness,” Smith wrote in a statement apologizing.
The protagonist of “King Richard” also apologized to the academy, gala producers, attendees and spectators from all over the world. “I want to apologize to the Williams family and to King Richard’s family. I am deeply saddened that my behavior spoiled what was a wonderful journey for all of us. I am finished work. ”
Smith’s words came hours after the Hollywood Academy launched an investigation into possible actions against the actor. “The academy condemns Mr. Smith’s actions at yesterday’s gala. “We have formally initiated a formal investigation into the incident and will investigate further actions and consequences in accordance with our statutes, standards of conduct and California law,” he said in a statement Monday.
The penalty reviewed by the institution ranges from the suspension of the academy, immediately or temporarily, to reprimand, or even to the cancellation of a prize won on Sunday.
