Fans have been left divided after Will Smith issued a public apology to Chris Rock following the Oscars incident. During the ceremony the actor stormed up on stage and slapped Chris Rock around the face.
The Oscars host had made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, prompting the response from her husband. Pinkett Smith has previously spoken about her struggles with alopecia and has said this is why she shaved her head.
Mr Smith took to social media and issued an apology on his Instagram account, which was also posted on his Facebook page. It was posted on Monday afternoon US time, which would be the early hours of Tuesday morning UK time.
