Police have been sighted at Will Smith’s mansion just days after he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars 2022.
A public information officer for Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department confirmed Will called the Police himself, according to The Sun.
After the scandal that sent shockwaves on social media, Los Angeles’ Police arrived at Will’s Calabasas mansion on Tuesday (March 29) afternoon.
It comes days after Will, 53, stormed up on stage at the Oscars and smacked Chris Rock, 57, in the face following a quip aimed at his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 50.
While presenting for the best documentary feature category, the comedian decided to throw a jibe about Jada’s shaved head, comparing her to “GI Jane”, causing Will to get violent.
The Los Angeles Sherriff told The Sun that officials had been called to the Smith household following reports of a drone allegedly flying over the multi-million-dollar home.
At the time of the Police’s arrival at 3pm, the alleged drone had already disappeared.
24 hours after the widely-talked about Oscars incident, Will Smith took to Instagram to issue a public apology for his behaviour.
The King Richard actor apologised to Chris Rock, the Academy, and everyone watching around the world for his action during Sunday night’s star-studded ceremony.
In the statement, Will said: “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive.
“My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes a my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.
“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.
“There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”
Smith’s wife, Jada, has also spoken publicly for the first time following the incident.
The Red Table Talk host posted a quote to her Instagram feed that discussed the process of becoming whole again.
Text on a plain pink background read: “This is a season for healing and I’m here for it.”
Following the ceremony, Chris refused to press charges against the Oscar award-winning actor.
Will’s actions have been condemned by the Academy.
