On Monday night, Will Smith shared a statement on his Instagram account apologizing for his behavior, which he called “out of line.”

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” he began. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”

“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris,” he added. “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.”

“I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world,” he went on. “I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.”

Although some say that violence never solves anything, others say that Will was well within the right to stand up for his wife.

“A man who loves and protects his family would do the same thing. I still respect and love you and your family and work,” one user wrote. “Learning experience for all of us. Mr Rock probably feels the same. Shake hands and both be an example of kindness and hope in this crazy world we live in. I love your family and his.”

“Great apology Will because you know what the potential repercussions can be,” another user commented. “But honestly, Rock deserved it for that totally inappropriate joke he made about your wife..Women say they want their husbands to stand up for them until one actually does..then they get all self-righteous ..stay strong bro.”

“You did what you thought was best. And defending your wives honor was very understandable,” another shared. “I commend you for acknowledging your behavior and apologizing to Chris was very commendable. Thank You for being you. The Best that you can be.”
