Four Months after the Slap saga that took over social media, American actor and singer, Will Smith, has issued a public apology to hisĀ  colleague, Chris Rock, for physically hitting him onstage at the 94th Academy Awards in March, 2022.

The ‘Best Actor’ winner posted a video titled, ā€œItā€™s been a minute ā€¦ā€ across his socials.

According to Smith, Rock still isnā€™t ready for a face-to-face apology.

ā€œIā€™ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that heā€™s not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out“.

ā€œSo I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and Iā€™m here whenever youā€™re ready to talk”, Smith said in bits.

Smith had earlier slapped Rock at the Academy award night over a joke he shared about Willā€™s wife, Jada Pinkett, in March, 2022.

Chris is yet to respond to Smith’s apology video post.
