This false apologizing needs to be recognized for what it is. When someone says they have to apologize for being human, that is NO apology!! Instead if you say I made a huge mistake and allowed the worst part of my day/life to become you're nightmare, I need to sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive me.

TRUE!!👍🏻👍🏻

Interesting how he "opens up" at the same time he needs to promote his new movie...... Soooo authentic.

[@CoalMyn1382]

He opens up before that if you understand your research

[@Paradys8]

DONT CARE AT ALL abt him anymore! Booo👎🏻👎🏻

[@georgelopez4193]

Me either

[@lukeskywalker9906]

If I was Chris Rock I would definitely sue him for millions of dollars

[@PiersAnthony-hq7tj]

Men don't do that.

[@Paradys8]

Sorry dude…, go in vacation for the next few years.., fix your personal problems with your ‘wife’

[@Tony525_]

An excuse isn't an apology....What childhood trauma anyways? He's been a celebrity since he was like 16...Thats one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard...

[@justhetruth]

No excuses or explanations this was assault.

[@savannahm.laurentian1286]

Why does anyone that is interviewed "speak out" about something? The news can't just call it responding anymore?

[@uyeda]

Really tough for him.

[@l.salisbury1253]

Let's-face-it: The Academy owes Will Smith a back-handed "thank you"! An Oscar ceremony is usually forgotten 24 hours later- this one's STILL being talked about!

[@theill3stgoblinking693]

Wills wife cheated on him with a bisexual!! LoL

[@Paradys8]

Great excuse ‘he was going through’…

[@thomasricksmith8171]

He blew it! You can take the boy out of the ghetto! But you can't take the ghetto out of the boy! He's just trying to save his career!

[@allenrodgers8999]

Blah blah blah blah no one cares about will

[@Paradys8]

True!👍🏻👍🏻

[@georgelopez4193]

😂😂😂 amen

[@chano6555]

How soulless do you have to be to do this

[@TheRealChrisBeard]

I thought he broke his silence a long time ago and apologized, or was that just Chris Rock?

Funny how CBS news was the only one Will Smith was able to get to take this story. No one wants to touch Will Smith anymore and Jada is having the same issue. Take a joke where it is. It’s not all personal and Jada is the one who made Will take action. I have seen it all, Will and them kids all are controlled by her and Will’s oldest isn’t ever around because he won’t be controlled by her.

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

Will forgives himself... Isn't that big of him.
Career over.

[@funkymonkey8308]

Excuses excuses excuses.

[@16nowhereman]

Will slapped Mr. Rock willfully and will do it again. Will will get another Oscar for a great performance? We'll see!

[@stephaniehouse8865]

He made it he’s the victim

[@PiersAnthony-hq7tj]

He's a Democrat I can't be angry at him like a puppy peeing on the floor, they don't know any better

[@Me-sq9ol]

Right. Because republicans never do any bad things.

Lmfao!
