READING:

Will Smith apologized to comedian Chris Rock for slapping him at the Oscars show. Mr Smith slapped Mr Rock around the face on stage. Rock was presenting the ceremony. He made a "joke" about Smith's wife, Jada. The joke was about her being in a movie in which the lead role has no hair. Jada has a hair loss problem. In his apology, Will Smith said: "A joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear, and I reacted emotionally."

Will Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor for the movie "King Richard". He played the father of Serena and Venus Williams. In his acceptance speech, Smith apologized to everyone watching around the world. He apologized to Mr Rock a day later. He said: "I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed.…There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness." The Academy said it is looking into the slapping.
