Will Smith Meditates In India After Oscars Incident

Hollywood news and updates tease that Will Smith stepped foot in India for spiritual purposes one month after the Academy incident.

During the 94th annual Academy Awards, Chris Rock was one of the presenters and he happened to make a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s shaved head that was due to extreme hair loss or alopecia. However, the “Girls Trip” star wasn’t delighted by the statement, which led Will Smith to climb up on stage and slap the Saturday Night Live (SNL) alum in front of the crowd.

A day after the incident, the “King Richard” actor posted an apology statement on his social media account for showing “unacceptable and inexcusable” behavior at the Oscars. He publicly apologized to Chris Rock, the Williams family, his “King Richards” family, and the people behind the Academy for his wrong and “out of line” action. However, despite the public apology statement, the altercation resulted in Will Smith being banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years.
