Zoë Kravitz slams Will Smith's Oscars slap: 'We are apparently assaulting people on stage now'
- Zoë Kravitz shared two Instagram posts with captions that slammed Will Smith.
- "The award show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now," Kravitz wrote.
Zoë Kravitz shared two posts on Instagram along with short captions that appeared to criticize Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock onstage at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
"Here's a picture of my dress at the award show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now," Kravitz captioned an Instagram photo, which showed her in a strapless pink Saint Laurent gown on the Oscars red carpet.
In a follow-up post — which showed Kravitz in a backless white dress also designed by the French fashion house — she appeared to make a second comment regarding Smith and Rock's altercation at the Oscars.
"And here is a picture of my dress at the party after the award show -where we are apparently screaming profanities and assaulting people on stage now," Kravitz wrote.
Kravitz, who most recently starred in Warner Bros' "The Batman," began to trend on social media shortly after sharing her posts on Instagram. Several users on Twitter criticized Kravitz and noted one television interview the actor gave to ExtraTV, during which she described Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son, as "the love of her life."
In the video, which appears to be from around 2015, Kravitz — who starred alongside Jaden and Will Smith in the 2013 post-apocalyptic film "After Earth" — says Jaden is 16 years old. The clip was shared by the Twitter account @glocktavious1, which noted that Kravitz was 26 years old at the time of the interview.
On Monday, Smith posted an apology to Rock on Instagram for slapping the comedian at the Academy Awards after Rock made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, during an onstage monologue.
In the joke, Rock made reference to Pinkett Smith's bald head. Pinkett Smith has alopecia, an autoimmune hair loss condition, and has been open about struggling with it."Can't wait for 'G.I. Jane 2,'" Rock said. In the 1997 movie "G.I. Jane," star Demi Moore shaves her head bald.
"Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable," Smith said in the Instagram post on Monday.
"Jokes at 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," he added.
Smith went on to say sorry to Serena and Venus Williams and the rest of their family for the incident. Smith won the best actor Oscar on Sunday for his performance as their father, Richard Williams, in "King Richard."
"I would like to apologize to the Williams family and my 'King Richard' family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress," he wrote.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Monday it was opening a formal investigation into Smith's altercation with Rock, saying it would "explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct, and California law."
