Will Smith Oscars Slap: Willow Smith Defends Her Dad's 'Humanness' Amid Chris Rock Drama

Willow Smith has defended her father, Will Smith, for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars ceremony last March. The 21-year-old "Meet Me At Our Spot" singer told Billboard in an interview published on Friday that it was human nature to make mistakes.

Willow noted that the infamous Oscars slap did not derail her creativity or rock her "as much as my own internal demons," Fox News reported. Willow said she sees her family as being human, and that she loves and accepts them for "all of their humanness."

"Because of the position that we're in, our humanness sometimes isn't accepted, and we're expected to act in a way that isn't conducive to a healthy human life and isn't conducive to being honest," she noted.

It was not the first time that Willow Smith spoke about the Oscars slap incident. In March, the "Maybe It's My Fault" singer took to her Instagram story to share a message that many interpreted as a reaction to the controversial Oscars slap.

In her message, Willow Smith told her fans that everyone was "going through a lot right now" and advised them to "just be kind."

Willow Smith Comments Came After Will Smith Apologizes to Chris Rock

Willow Smith's comments came a week after her father took to social media to issue another apology for his "unacceptable" behavior.

Will Smith said in the video he posted on his YouTube and Instagram accounts that he had a lot of thinking over the last few months.

The "Men In Black" star explained that he was not able to apologize to Chris Rock during his acceptance speech because he was "fogged out" at that moment and that it was all "fuzzy."

Will said he reached out to the comedian, but the reply he got was that Rock was not yet ready to talk. He then offered his apology to Rock.

"I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk," the actor noted.

Will also apologized to Rock's mom, saying he did not realize how many people got hurt after he slapped the comedian. He also apologized to Rock's brother Tony Rock, who starred in the 2007 "All of Us," which was created by Will Smitt and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Hours after Will released his apology video, Chris Rock commented. While performing in Atlanta, Rock said: "Everybody is trying to be a f***ing victim."

"If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith," the comedian noted.

According to People, "Suge Smith" appeared to be a play on the name of jailed Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight. Rock added that anyone who said words hurt has never been punched in the face.

Will Smith and Chris Rock Oscars Slap

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars ceremony on March 27 after the comedian joked about Jada Pinkett Smith being bald.

Rock apparently did not know that Jada suffers from hair loss due to alopecia. A day after the incident, Smith took to Instagram to say sorry to the comedian, claiming that he was wrong and embarrassed by what he did.

The Academy has banned the actor from attending the Oscars, whether in-person or virtual, for at least 10 years. The decision of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Board of Governors was quickly acknowledged by Smith.

However, the Academy did not ask Will Smith to return the Oscars trophy for "King Richard."
