<p>Will Smith finally issued an apology to Chris Rock Monday admitting he was &#8220;out of line&#8221; and &#8220;wrong&#8221; for striking Rock at the Oscars after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s shaved head amid her hair loss battle.</p>
<p>&#8220;Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,&#8221; the 53-year-old actor captioned his post on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CbqmaY1p7Pz/">Instagram</a>. &#8220;My behavior at last night&#8217;s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada&#8217;s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris,&#8221; he added.&#8221;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.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world,&#8221; Smith continued. &#8220;I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress. Sincerely, Will.&#8221;</p>

<p>The Academy initially said it didn&#8217;t condone &#8220;violence of any form&#8221; without specifically naming the &#8220;Men In Black&#8221; star following the star&#8217;s slap of Rock, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-academy-awards-responds-after-will-smith-hits-chris-rock-in-the-face-over-joke-about-wife">reported</a> by The Daily Wire.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>During a segment at the Oscars, the 57-year-old comedian remarked about how no one was wearing a mask in the theater before he turned his attention to Denzel Washington and praised him for his part in the movie “The Tragedy of MacBeth.” The superstar comedian then spotted Will Smith’s wife in the audicen and cracked a joke about how Jada was going to be in the next “G.I. Jane” movie.</em></p>
<p><em>“Jada, I love ya,” Rock said. “G.I. Jane 2 movie, can’t wait to see it.”</em></p>
<p><em>Smith then got up from his seat and struck Rock in the face.</em></p>
<p><em>“Oh wow, wow. Will Smith just smacked the s*** outta me,” Rock said.</em></p>
