It has been a few months since Will Smith went on stage during the Oscars and slapped Chris Rock after a comment about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. Since then, Will has resigned his membership from the Academy, been banned from The Academy and even rumors of shows/movies he was working on at the time were stopped because of his actions. Will did write an apology to Rock right after the Oscars, however, in the video released today, fans can see the remorse on his face.

Now, on his own time, Will posted for the first time in 17 weeks, he posted a video addressing questions he has received during the aftermath of the slap.
