Will Smith has released a statement after last night's incident at the #Oscars: "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable." bit.ly/3uxeGuV

Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally,” Smith wrote on Instagram. bit.ly/3uxeGuV

“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” bit.ly/3uxeGuV

"I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family." bit.ly/3uxeGuV

"I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress," Smith concluded. bit.ly/3uxeGuV
