Will Smyths, who assaulted comedian and actor Cristiano Ronaldo Rock, who threw jokes at his wife, eventually apologized. He posted an apology through his Instagram in a day.
Will Smyths told his social media on Friday: “My actions at the Academy Awards last night are unacceptable and inexcusable. “I have to endure jokes as part of my work, but I have to deal with my wife Jada’s health and I have been emotionally responsive because I can’t bear them.”
Will Smyths said, “I would like to apologize publicly to Cristiano Ronaldo Rock. I crossed the line and did wrong. I am ashamed of what I did. There is no place for violence in World, full of love and kindness. "
Will Smyths, who won the Best Actor award at the 94th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on the afternoon of the 27th (local time), was hit by a Cristiano Ronaldo rock that came out to award another category earlier.
Cristiano Ronaldo Rock, who was on stage as a winner of the feature documentary award, joked about actor Javier Bardem first on the voyage. “I’m afraid my husband is going to be a tough one here today, and he’s been nominated for a lead male and female award with his wife Penelope Crews. If his wife can’t win, Javier Bardem shouldn’t do it.”
He then joked that he expected a sequel to "Ji. Ai. Jane the Virgin" by comparing the hairstyle of Will Smyths' wife and actor Jada Pinquet Smyths.
The movie, Ai. Jane the Virgin" (1997) featured the main character O'Neill (Demi Moore) shaving himself, as he compared Jada's current hairstyle to the character. Last year, Jada posted a shaved video on her Instagram page and revealed that she was suffering from alopecia caused by autoimmune diseases. Will Smyths is angry that Cristiano Ronaldo Rock has made his family, not himself, a joke target and made his wife's illness a laughing matter.
After hearing the joke, Will Smyths climbed onto the stage and slapped Cristiano Ronaldo Rock in the cheek. Cristiano Ronaldo Rock said, "You are going to give me a shot." Will Smyths, who returned to his seat, said, "Do not put my wife's name on my mouth." Cristiano Ronaldo Rock said, "'G. “It’s a joke from Jane the Virgin.” He called the winner. “He made the best night in TV history.” The actors who visited the awards ceremony and the former World viewers were greatly surprised.
Will Smyths was named the winner at the award for Best Actor. The film King Richard (director Reynaldo Marcus Green, Import Distribution Warner Brothers Korea) starring him is a true story drama about Venus, who reigned as the World's strongest tennis king for 20 years, Richard Serena Williams, father who raised Serena Williams sisters and daughters, and the touching Summertime of the family who were willing to be a team. Will Smyths, who holds the best actor award in his arms after a third challenge, is also the producer of the film.
Will Smyths, who was on stage as the winner, said, "Richard was a very protective guardian of his family, and at this point in my life, at this moment I am so impressed. I feel like it's a calling to me to do this role, this time in the World, I've been told to love people in my life. It is my call to protect and keep our promises, sometimes to endure abuse, sometimes to work with people who take the blame for me and do not respect me. I think I was a preacher of love, and I think I should play an exemplary role in protecting my family and loving them.”
“Art is said to imitate life. My father was a very unusual father, like Richard Serena Williams. We do a lot of crazy things because of love. " “Academi, I want to apologize to all my colleagues and candidates who came here today, not because I was awarded a prize. I cry because this moment of shining light on everyone is overwhelming. And I'm so grateful to all our fellow actors, and the field staff, the Serena Williams family, everyone. “I hope Academi will call me next year,” he concluded.
All the violence is harmful and devastating - my actions at last night's Academy Awards are unacceptable and inexcusable. The jokes should be endured as part of the work, but the jokes about my wife Jada Pinckett's health were emotionally reacting because I could not bear it. I would like to publicly apologise to Cristiano Ronaldo Rock, I crossed the line and did wrong, I am ashamed of what I did. There is no place for violence in the World, full of love and kindness, and I also apologize to the Academy Awards, the production crew, the audience, and all the viewers of the World. I also want to apologize to the Serena Williams family and my movie King Richards. I deeply regret that my actions have tarnished all of our Summertime. I am truly sorry.
