Tennis superstar Serena Williams is finally addressing last year's Oscars slap and the fallout for Will Smith after he won an Academy Award minutes later for portraying her father in the 2021 filmco-host Gayle King that aired on Feb 4, the trailblazing tennis ace defended Smith's actions nearly a year later and called for a show of kindness when people make mistakes.
"But I also feel that I have been in a position where I've been under a lot of pressure and I've made a tremendous amount of mistakes," Williams continued. "And I'm the kind of person that's like, 'I've been there, I've made a mistake. It's not the end of the world.' We're all imperfect and we're all human and let's just be kind to each other. So, that's often forgotten a lot."
Williams, 41, and her elder sister Venus Williams attended the 94th Academy Awards but didn't publicly address the incident, which many still feel embarrassed them and tarnished a night that celebrated Black Hollywood. Smith, 54, who took the stage less than hour later in the broadcast to accept his lead actor Oscar, gave a rambling speech and indirectly explained himself, apologised to the academy and his fellow nominees and told the academy he hoped he'd be invited back. But he made no apologies for his behaviour toward Rock or the Williams family specifically.star was subsequently banned from the Academy Awards and its related events for 10 years but allowed to keep his Oscar.
