To note, after Will Smith slapped Comedian Chris Rock at the Academy Awards stage, he issued a public apology to him by posting a note on his official Instagram handle in which he mentioned how violence in all of its forms was poisonous and destructive while referring to the incident. While writing a public apology for his behaviour with Chris Rock whom he slapped publicly on stage, he stated, "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally. I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness..." (sic)
