新科奧斯卡影帝威爾史密斯（Will Smith）為護妻上台揍了串場人克里斯洛克（Chris Rock）一巴掌，引發全球熱議，事後他在領獎時公開道歉，如今他透過社群平台正式發文，強調「各種形式的暴力都是有毒和破壞性的」，並稱自己的行為「無法被接受」也「不能被饒恕」。
威爾史密斯表示，他知道被開玩笑是工作的一部分，雖然沒有辦法接受自己的妻子潔達蘋姬史密斯（Jada Pinkett Smith）被以健康問題開玩笑，但他也公開地向克里斯洛克致歉，「我確實越線了，我做錯了，我很羞愧，而且我的行為，不是我想成為一個男人的樣子」，直呼「在充滿愛和善意的世界裡，沒有暴力的容身之地」。
威爾史密斯在文末也向奧斯卡主辦方「美國影藝學院」(The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences)、節目製作人、所有與會者、全世界的觀眾、對方家庭、自己家人們道歉，表示對這次錯誤的行為，深感歉意。目前美國影藝學院已發表聲明譴責威爾史密斯的行為，其中一名理事影星琥碧戈柏(Whoopi Goldberg)透露，雖然不會回收史密斯的獎座，但勢必要他承擔後果。

威爾史密斯道歉全文
Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior 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.
I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.
I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.
I am a work in progress.
Sincerely,
Will
