After Smith’s March 28th confirmation by the Academy, this letter was sent.

Rock made an observation about Rock as he presented the Best Documentary Award at the awards ceremony. Jada pinkett SmithSmith is now a shaved head. Smith then stormed the stage and slapped the comedian live on television.  

Smith shouted “Keep my name out of the f-king mouth!” after returning to his place.  

The actor, who took home the award for Best Actor later in the evening, apologized for the altercation in a March 28 Instagram post.  

Chris, I would like to publicly apologise to you. He wrote that he was not in line with the rules and was mistaken. “I’m embarrassed, and I don’t think my actions reflect the man that I want to become.” In a world filled with love and kindness, violence is not allowed.” 

He added, “I’d also like to apologize for the Academy and the producers of this show, as well as all attendees, and anyone watching the show from around the world.” My family and the Williams Family would appreciate my sincere apologies. King Richard Family. My bad behavior is a deep regret.
