Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock on Monday evening after slapping him for making a joke about his wife. Will had not apologized to Chris Rock specifically but to the academy the night of the Grammys, but he had written on Instagram that “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris.” “I was out of line and I was wrong,” he said in the statement. “I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.” Many people wondered if the award would be taken away from Will. Was this the right decision? What will the outcome turn out to be?
