Jada pushed WillSmith to apologize to ChrisRock but 'He never wanted to'
Advice from his wife. Jada Pinkett asked Will Smith to apologize to Chris Rock after seeing her husband “in hell” over the controversy that won’t seem to “die down.”
The source also told Us Weekly that Will has been “in hell” since his altercation with Chris and wanted to find a way to “move forward” without talking about the slap again. “His team had hoped that the controversy would die down, but it just hasn’t,” the insider said. “It would be impossible for him to move forward successfully unless he [addressed the slap].”
Will—who won the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in King Richard that night—also explained why he didn’t apologize to Chris in his Oscars acceptance speech. “I was fogged out by that point. It’s all fuzzy,” he said. Will also told viewers that he wanted to apologize to Chris’ mother, Rose Rock, who told WIS-TV in April 2022 that Chris slapping her son “hurt” her too. “When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us,” she said at the time. ”Because when you hurt my child, you hurt me.
Will ended his video by telling viewers that he’s spent the past three months since the Oscars “replaying” the moment with Chris in his mind. “I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the complexities and nuances of what happened,” he said. “I’m not gonna try to unpack all of that right now but I can say to you, there was no part of me that thought that was the right way to behave in that moment.
