Apologies ya definitely it will work , first slap then say sorry

1st, no mention by anyone that Smith suckered Rock. Cowardly IMO. Someone needs to ask Smith why he was seen laughing at the joke? Charges and a conviction (if only community service) are the only way to dissuade copycat violence at Comedy clubs in the future?

Will Smith went low by slapping Chris Rock. In his attempt to justify it, he went even lower.

Too little too late. Should have done this during his speech!

Will Smith had the chance to say this in his acceptance speech, in his social media posts after the show, & at the after-parties. He didn't. He was proud of himself. Now, after lawyers/publicists/managers have stepped in & he's likely to cop a lifetime Oscars ban, he apologises.

*His publicist*. In response to the Oscars saying they're ' looking into it'. He's probably still asleep. His wife is probably still asleep next to someone else.

Seriously, who cares?
