The viral image occurred online exactly after the King Richard actor published a public apology on Instagram. The 53-year-old put up with accountability for his efforts and apologized to Chris Rock, the Academy, producers, and the Williams family for his behavior onstage.
Still, netizens believed that the viral smash was nothing but a promotion stunt for the Oscars. Internet users have complained that the humiliation was fake and that Will Smith was deceived to be annoyed by Chris Rock’s joke.

They also declared in a distinct announcement that a legal inquiry into the occurrence will be accomplished.
