Actor Will Smith said he would “completely understand” if movie watchers are not “ready” to see his new film, “Emancipation,” after he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars earlier this year.<\/p>\n
“Emancipation” is the first new Smith movie to be released since he slapped Rock in the face in March. Smith had slapped Rock in response to a joke the comedian made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and her alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.<\/p>\n
Since the incident, Smith has apologized multiple times and resigned as a member of the Academy.<\/p>\n
The actor said in a recent interview with FOX 5 DC reporter Kevin McCarthy that he would understand if people are not ready to view his film because of his slap at the Oscars.<\/p>\n
