Best actor winner Will Smith ('King Richard') apologized Sunday after slapping comedian and presenter Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards.
LOS ANGELES -- When Will Smith marched onto the Oscars stage and smacked Chris Rock, the unpredictable moment served as a jarring interruption to Hollywood's feel-good celebration., he delivered a tearful apology for an act sure to overshadow his milestone achievement. He seized the opportunity during Sunday night's awards to speak on being a fierce defender just like his tennis dad character Richard Williams from"King Richard.
"I'm being called on in my life to love people and to protect people and to be a river to my people," said Smith during his acceptance speech after winning his first-ever Oscar."I know to do what we do you've got to be able to take abuse. You've got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business, you've got to be able to have people disrespecting you. And you've got to smile and pretend like that's OK.
Smith shared what Washington told him:"At your highest moment, be careful because that's when the devil comes for you.A representative for Rock didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Backstage, during interview sessions with winners, the Rock-Smith incident seemed like something few - if anyone - wanted to discuss.
Pinkett Smith was also the subject of jokes from Rock when he hosted the Oscars in 2016. She did not attend the Oscars that year, saying at the time her decision stemmed from a lack of diversity among award nominees and how Black artists were not properly represented.
