Will Smith’s assault on Chris Rock won’t be the last unscripted highlight of the Oscar and other Hollywood big nights.
According to Variety, Chris’ tickets, initially selling at $46 per person on March 18, went up to $341 after the incident on March 28.
“I am embarrassed, and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be,” admitted Will.
“If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report”.
Will, who went on to win and receive his first-ever Oscar award, later apologised to the audience and the Oscar committee.
Will Smith has had no Oscar win despite being nominated in 2002 for the movie ‘Ali’ and in 2007 for ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’.
The petition has gotten over 1500 signatures.
Will said there’s a misconception that Jada is the only one to have had an affair outside of their marriage.
The variety comedy special by the ‘Fresh Prince’ will air exclusively on Netflix.
