Will Smith gets support from daughter over Oscars slapping incidentAgencies
Actor Will Smith's daughter Willow Smith has supported her father over the infamous slapping incident during the Academy Awards ceremony. The 53-year-old Men in Black actor slapped American comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, and the incident garnered much attention. Willow said it is "humanness" to commit errors as Will Smith charged onto the stage and slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards this year. The slap was a joke by Rock on Smith's wife's haircut. She said that she accepts her family and loves them for all their humanness. She reiterated that she sees her family as being human. She added that due to their position, their humans aren't conducive to being honest and healthy human life. Chris Rock's comparison of Jada Pinkett Smith's haircut with that of G.I Jane's buzzcut angered Will Smith. Jada Pinkett Smith suffers from alopecia and has a bald head. Willow noted that the spotlight on her family after the incident does not affect her as much as her internal demons. The comments came in the wake of yet another apology by Will Smith on social media. He said that his behavior was unacceptable and apologized to Chris Rock. Will said that it is his major trauma to disappoint people, and he hates when he lets anyone down. He added that it hurts him emotionally and psychologically when he doesn't live up to other people's impressions and images of him. Will Smith apologized and said he was ready to talk with Chris Rock whenever he wanted. ET logo
