Will Smith apologises to Chris Rock

Months after the feud with comedian Chris Rock, Will Smith issued a public apology via an Instagram video. Last month, Will Smith shared the video, which began with a note that read, "It's been a minute... Over the last few months, I've been doing a lot of thinking and personal work... You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer." Further in the video, Smith read out several questions by his fans and said, "I was fogged out by that point,” he said in the post. “It’s all fuzzy. 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." "So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk," he added.

He further apologised to Rock's mother and said, "I saw an interview that Chris' mother did, and, you know, that was one of the things about that moment. I just didn't realise, and, you know, I wasn't thinking, but how many people got hurt in that moment." He also apologised to the Grown Ups' star's family and several others who were affected by the incident.
