Rage that had been bottled for a really long time - Smith

Will Smith says that was a rage that had been bottled for a really long time.

Will Smith has opened up to Trevor Noah about the now-famous slap at the Oscars in March during an appearance that aired Tuesday night on “The Daily Show.”

While promoting his forthcoming film “Emancipation,” Smith called it “a horrific night” and said he “lost it” when he stormed the stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock.

Smith says you just never know what somebody is going through.

He says not that that justifies his behaviour at all.

Smith said that what was most painful to him was that his actions made it “hard for other people.”

He says and it’s like he understood the idea where they say hurt people hurt people.

Smith said who he was in that moment was “not who I want to be.”

In July Smith addressed the slap and issued a public apology on social media.

The Academy has sanctioned Smith by banning him from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years.
