An unpleasant incident occurred at the Oscars stage when Chris Rock, who appeared to hand out the honor for ‘Documentary Feature’, made an unconscious (and distasteful) joke on Smith’s wife, actor Jada Pinkett Smith, for being in a sequel of ‘G.I. Jane’ referring to her shaved head.

The Pursuit of Happyness star, who bagged the Best Actor award for his performance in King Richard on the night, got infuriated with the comedian’s remarks and attacked him after coming on stage.

He issued a public apology for his fellow celebrity for his actions.
“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” he stated. “My behaviour at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”
He admitted to being embarrassed and his actions were not indicative of the man I wanted to be. “There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness,” he wrote.
