Police seen outside Will Smith’s mansion
Police were seen outside Will Smith’s LA mansion a day after he slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Smith’s home in Calabasas was attended by officers on Tuesday afternoon, who confirmed the actor had called the cops himself, The US Sun reported.
It is alleged that a drone was seen flying over the mega-mansion but by the time police arrived it had disappeared.
The police department also confirmed that no report was filed by Rock after he was assaulted by Smith.
At the Oscars, Rock joked that he was looking forward to seeing Pinkett-Smith star in a sequel to G.I. Jane - the 1997 film starring Demi Moore as a bald Navy SEAL recruit - apparently referring to Pinkett-Smith’s bald head.
Smith shocked the crowd and viewers across the world when he stood up from his seat, walked up the stage and slapped Rock before sitting back down.
“Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me,” Rock said as Smith walked off.
Smith then yelled back, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth”.
Smith took to Instagram where he publicly apologised to Rock for slapping him on-stage.
“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behaviour at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable,” Smith wrote in a screenshot shared on Instagram on Tuesday.
“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 apologise to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.”
LA Police released a statement confirming no report was filed by Rock but an investigation could ensue should he decide to.
"The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a police report,” the statement read.
"If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report."
