Will Smith’s mother Carolyn Smith was not happy to see her son and Chris Rock showdown at 94th Academy Awards held on Sunday.
“It was entirely out of character,” she remarked, adding, “That’s the first time I have ever seen him go off. First time in his lifetime.”
While talking about the King Richard actor’s behavior, Carolyn clarified that “He is a very even, people person”.
“I knew he would ride out of the controversy,” Carolyn concluded.
Carolyn reportedly talked to her son on Monday after the Oscars fiasco, advising him to “go on vacation” following the incident.
Will has since formally apologized to Chris Rock in an official statement on Instagram.
