Will Smith apologizes for punching Chris Rock: “My behavior was unacceptable”

The actor declares that he deeply regrets. Do we believe him?

Post the fist that went viral and tears at the 94th Academy Awards, o Will Smith he also formally apologized to him Chris Rock

– that is, he made a post on Instagram. Someone with bad intentions might have said that he was pressured by his communications team, now that the Film Academy is thinking of taking away his award, but certainly not us. We believe that he wrote each word himself, after much thought, the night before he went to sleep.

“Violence is poisonous and destructive in all its forms,” ​​he said. “My behavior at last night’s awards was unacceptable and unjustified. “Jokes against me are part of the job, but jokes about Jada’s condition were too much for me and I reacted emotionally.”

“I would like to apologize publicly to you, Chris. I exceeded the limits and I was wrong. I feel ashamed and my actions do not represent who I want to be. There is no room for violence in a world of love and kindness».

“I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers, the attendees and the spectators around the world. I would also like to apologize to the Williams family and the King Richard family. I deeply regret my behavior, which marked this trip that was beautiful for all of us. I’m trying to evolve. “

Touching, at least. Will Smith admitted his mistake, but a public apology is not enough to make him believe it. This is not the first time he has used physical violence – let’s not forget that, at the premiere of Men in Black 3, he slapped the Ukrainian comedian Vitalii Sediuk who, disguised as a journalist, tried to make fun of him and kiss him on the mouth.

We hope he means it this time.
