Several months after the Oscars slapping incident, the King Richard star has finally broken his silence. In the video clip, Smith gave an explanation: “I was clouded by that point. It’s all a blur. I contacted Chris and the message he got back is that he is not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out. Well, I’ll tell you, Chris, I apologize. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk. I want to apologize to Chris’ mother. I saw an interview that Chris’s mother did and that was one of the things about that moment that I didn’t understand. I wasn’t thinking about how many people were injured at the time.” On Friday, Rock performed at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. While the 57-year-old didn’t specifically mention the apology, he spoke very briefly about the incident and left nothing to the imagination especially when it came to being compared to vengeful rap mogul Suge Knight. Rock quipped: FILM VIDEO OF THE DAY “Everyone is trying to be a victim. If everyone claims to be a victim, then no one will listen to the real victims. Even me getting hit by Sug Smith…I went to work the next day, had kids.” RELATED: Will Smith Apologizes To Chris Rock And His Family
