Many Twitter users took to the micro-blogging site and condemned Smith's actions. The actor also issued a formal, public apology to Chris via Instagram.

However, his tweet did not go down well with several users.

"So now Will Smith is teaching his kids that committing a crime, actually ASSAULTING someone, is okay when a poorly-researched joke is said. That display was disgusting and garners no respect! Chris Rock could file charges and WIN with televised evidence," a user wrote when another commented, "Hmmm, a disappointing statement. This tells me there is a toxic environment at home."

Glorifying 'emotionally unstable 'alpha' males'- violence publicly is what is wrong with today's society. He could have talked about alopecia educationally, he could have applauded the success of Coda, but he chose to 'protect' his image with a lousy excuse of forced superiority. https://t.co/WISi3F3312

Meanwhile, Chris Rock has refused to file a police report after the incident.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed via a statement that the comedian 'declined to file a police report'. Their statement further added, "If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report."

Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on the Oscars 2022 stage after the latter made a joke in reference to the former's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The comedian had said that he was looking forward to see her star in a sequel to G.I. Jane.

Jada, who suffers alopecia, an autoimmune disorder, which causes hair loss by attacking hair follicles, didn't like the joke and was visibly upset.
