On March 28, Will Smith and Chris Rock grabbed the headlines following the Men In Black actor slapping the comedian at Oscars 2022. For those in the unknown, Will went on stage and slapped Chris after the latter joked about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. As a result of the incident, the King Richard actor has been banned from attending any Academy event for the next 10 years, including the Oscars.
Now, almost a month later, the incident is still a talking point, especially as the actor was recently spotted in Mumbai, India to heal himself spiritually. While Will issued a public apology on Instagram the day after the slapgate episode at the Oscars, a source has revealed the actor hasn’t yet personally apologised.
Talking to Page Six, an industry insider called out Will Smith’s India visit. The source said. “Will’s ‘spiritual journey’ to India for yoga and meditation seems cynical and ridiculous, given that he hasn’t apologized personally to the one person he assaulted in front of millions.” They added, “No amount of Namastes will make up for that.”
