American actor, Will Smith has tendered his long awaited apology to comedian Chris Rock for slapping him at this year’s Oscars after he made joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair condition.
Recall that Smith had decked the comedian a heavy slapped for referring to his wife as bald in a joke during the 2022 Oscars.
Asked why he didn’t apologise to Chris immediately during his acceptance speech at the Oscars he replied, “I was fogged out by that point. It is all fuzzy.”
He said, “I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that, he’s not ready to talk. When he is, he will reach out.”
“I will say to you, Chris, I apologise to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I am here whenever you are ready to talk.”
