Will Smith apologized to comedian Chris Rock for slapping him around the face at the Oscars. Rock made a "joke" about Smith's wife, Jada. The joke was about a movie in which the lead role has no hair. Jada has a hair loss problem. Will Smith said: "A joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me."
Will Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor. In his speech, he apologized to everyone watching around the world. He apologized to Mr Rock a day later. He said: "I was wrong. I am embarrassed.…There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness." The Academy said it is looking into the slapping.
Back to the Will Smith apology lesson.
