\n\tAfter shocking audiences<\/span> by slapping comedian Chris Rock during a live broadcast of the Academy Awards, Will Smith returned to late-night television on Monday and sat down with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\tThe interview comes eight months after the Oscars controversy and a series of online statements regarding the incident. When Noah asked Smith about his experience following the infamous moment, Smith said it was a \u201chorrific night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThere’s many nuances and complexities to it. But at the end of the day, I just \u2014 I lost it, you know?\u201d the actor continued. \u201cI was going through something that night, you know? Not that that justifies my behavior at all. It was a lot of things. It was the little boy that watched his father beat up his mother, you know? All of that just bubbled up in that moment. That is not who I want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
