The Oscar winner shared a five-minute video online that offered an apology to Rock for slapping him, and Twitter users reacted.
Will Smith on Friday posted a video on his YouTube account in which he apologized to Chris Rock, saying he was « deeply remorseful » for slapping the comedian earlier this year at the Academy Awards. Many social media users felt Smith’s words were insufficient, while others said Rock may not want an apology because his career has benefited from the incident.
« I’ve reached out to Chris, and the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out, » Smith said in the five-minute clip. « So I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you are ready to talk.
