Will Smith's Oscar Incident

 

Actor will smith sat down for his first tv interview since his infamous oscar nights lap of comedian chris rock, the academy award winner told the daily show's trevor noah that he understands how shocking that was for people here c.b.s. is carter. welcome back to the danny shrine, sir. after staying mostly out of the spotlight, says his oscars. but will smith opened up to trevor noah. 

you just never know what somebody's going through and i was going through something that night. you know, and, um, not that that, you know, justifies my behavior at all. he didn't say what he was going through, but he did allude to an abusive childhood because it was the little boy that watched his father beat up his mother. all of that just bubbled up. yeah yeah. and in in that moment, at the end of the day. i just i lost it after smith got home. oscar died. he said his nine year old nephew confronted him he's on my lap and he's holding the oscar. and he's just like. why did you hit that man uncle. well. do you think this interview helped the situation i think in the end it it set the kind of public note that will smith probably wanted n.p.r. media.

Analyst Eric Deggans is skeptical about the timing of the interview with smith's upcoming film emancipation. we heard a lot about will smith's remorse. we did not hear very much about what chris rock is going through. there's a victim here and the victim is not will smith smith previously apologized to rock in a video posted late july, but critics say he needed to do more. there's a sense that he is being sort of coddled through all of this this redemption tour that he's on, which means it's not much of a redemption. and there's no public comment yet from chris rock, who made the joke about smith's wife jada on stage and there is some oscar buzz surrounding smith's new film, though of course. the academies banned him from attending the ceremonies for ten years carter evans, thank you.
