'I lost it': Will Smith speaks about Chris Rock slap

Will Smith has spoken out about the Oscars incident, in his first major interview since slapping Chris Rock in March 2022.#CNN #News

He knows that there were cameras there, right? He knows that we all saw him laughing about the joke, right?

[SHAMSHAM]

He didn’t lose it he
Laughed and thought Chris rocks joke was funny then he turned his head and saw that his wife wasn’t laughing I thought oh shit I better do something. Watch the tape

[StressedCapacity]

Why won't any host ask Will why he laughed at the joke? We're not just going to sweep this under the rug! As soon as he saw Jada's expression he became unhinged at a joke he himself laughed at. They both need to stay away from venues that book comedians because targeting people is what many comedians do. If they can't handle it they should stay home.

[blipmachine]

Really excited for his new movie, I’m sure it slaps!

[Smiley-fvzi]

Also, Will Smith is a human being who's going to royally mess up. I'm not shocked. I'm more shocked that people forget that celebrities are flawed humans just like everyone else.

Will Smith image go always be the actor that smack Chris Rock that ain't going nowhere... But I will always be a Will Smith fan and I believe will been reaching out to Chris Rock and Chris Rock right now just don't want to talk to Will Smith.... But I will always watch Will Smith movies.... And at the end of the day I hope both brothers resolve this thing in Jesus name.

He is probably just apologizing because he has a new movie coming out.

[phibiengama]

He expressed regrets because he has movie to promote, he went to dance after this slap, he thinks everyone forgot

[zainzoala]

😂😂😂 Isn't he the same guy that had party dancing fun, just after he slapped someone. Lol

[crazycorbinbleux]

I didn't hear Will Smith say Chris' name once during this interview. The whole time he talks about the "pain caused on other people"- but there is no one who felt the pain more than Chris Rock that night

[frannyfrandsen]

Still wondering where that genuine apology is...

[lofnouk]

The disgusting tweet his son put out after this incident ("and that's how we do it") tells me everything i need to know about Smith and the twisted values he & his brood hold.

[davidcole]

He must have a Movie coming out and is wanting people to feel sorry for him.. The way he acted after the slap was worse then the slap..

[JasonPengo]

Will Smith is a classic narcissist. He ruined that night for everyone else in the room and watching the Oscars and all he can do is talk about himself as a child victim. Will Smith TOTALLY missed the point.

[bernardscheidle]

You don't slap a guy over an alopecia joke.

[Nedemis]

I lost all respect for him that night, and he will never gain my monetary support ever again. He laughed until his wife glared at him. If you're at an event like that, you go, knowing full well that you or your family will be fair game for jokes.

It was truly amazing at how quickly his ENTIRE career turned from one moment.

[lordpeelordpee]

If he had respect for Chris he would not have attacked him PERIOD

[bigblue]

I said it B4 Ill say it again. The world would have forgotten about this joke in about 8 seconds, Will Smith Made it live on 4Ever👋. 😉

[tyrannywatch]

He just regrets getting canceled for slapping someone lol.
