Oscars, March 29: <\/strong>Academy Award-winning actor Will Smith used his speech at the Oscars yesterday to apologize – minutes earlier, he had slapped presenter Chris Rock over a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett.<\/p>\n

Only, Will Smith didn’t actually apologize to Chris. He did that in an Instagram post shared last night in which he named Chris Rock and also apologized to the Academy – which is reportedly considering taking action against him – everyone who went to and watched the Oscars, the Williams family and the “King Richard family<\/strong>” – Will Smith won Best Actor for his role as Richard Williams, father of tennis stars Venus and Serena.<\/p>\n

If his tearful Oscar speech failed to address the public assault he made, Will Smith’s Instagram post made it very clear: “I would publicly like to apologize to you, Chris<\/strong>,” he began the post, ending, “I am a work in progress<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n
