Will Smith's mother's first comment after the Oscars accident

6abc channel was able to conduct an exclusive interview with the mother of actor Will Smith after the incident of slapping his colleague Chris Rock at the Oscars, which caused a global uproar from the first moment until the hour.

Before addressing the incident, 85-year-old Caroline Smith said Will had worked hard all his life and deserved an Oscar.

She indicated that she was watching the Oscar ceremony with her daughter, Will's sister, and was waiting for the name of the Oscar winner to be announced and was very happy after announcing his victory, and she also sent messages through social media applications to the family asking them to wish luck to "Uncle Will", as she put it.

To later talk about Will Smith's slapping of Chris Rock in retaliation for his wife after Chris ridiculed her illness, which forced her to get rid of her hair, she said: "Will is a very peaceful person. I've never seen him do that before."

Caroline Smith also revealed that she spoke with her son, yesterday, Monday, that is, the next day after the Oscars, and asked him to get some rest and go on vacation, stressing that he would survive the controversy.

She concluded her speech by saying, "I am proud of him for being him."

It is noteworthy that the actor Will Smith, who could not bear the mockery of his wife and exploded in anger, had a harsh childhood after witnessing his mother being subjected to violence while he was unable to help her.

The Oscar-winning star spoke in his diary, released in November 2021, saying: "When I was nine years old I watched my father hit my mother on the side of her head so hard that she collapsed and saw blood coming out of her mouth."

"That moment in the bedroom was probably the most defining moment of my life for my character," the star continued, according to the Guardian.

The star indicated that his feeling of inability to protect his mother left a strong impact on his psyche, and therefore it is possible that the moment he defended his wife was a moment to take revenge on his conviction of the helplessness he felt.

It was reported in the newspaper that Will made a series of apologies to his mother for his inaction that day and his failure to defend her because he was a coward.

It is noteworthy that Will Smith's mother got divorced from his father in 2000, and his father passed away after suffering from illness in 2016, but Will Smith, despite his efforts, was never able to build a good relationship with his father, who was abusing his mother.

Will Smith posted a statement on his official Facebook account, saying, "Violence in all its forms is toxic and destructive, and my behavior at the Oscars last night was unacceptable and unforgivable... Jokes about my life are part of the job, but jokes about Jada's medical condition was more than I could handle, and her reaction was emotional."

Will Smith added: "I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of the box, I was wrong. I feel embarrassed, and my actions were not indicative of the man I wanted to be. There is no place for violence in the world of love and kindness."

The star also apologized to the Academy and the audience, in addition to everyone who watched the ceremony, and the Williams family, who gave part of their history in his movie King Richard, in which he won the first Oscar in his life.

And it was during his speech about the incident of assaulting Chris Rock while receiving the award for best actor that the star justified that what he did was out of love;

Will Smith said, "I also want to apologize to the Academy, and to all my fellow candidates, because love will make you do crazy things, what more can you say."
