Zoe Kravitz Regrets How She Weighed In on Oscars 2022 Slap

The 33-year-old actress got candid about her decision to weigh in on Chris Rock getting slapped by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars earlier in the year

“Here’s a picture of my dress at the show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now,” she wrote on a since-deleted post alongside a photo of herself at the time

When one user wrote: “You don’t support him defending his wife?,” she replied “nope.” Her comments drew a lot of backlash and scrutiny on social media, and now, she’s speaking out.

“I’m torn about what to say right now, because I’m supposed to just talk about it; I have very complicated feelings around it,” she told

“I wish I had handled that differently. And that’s okay.” “It’s a scary time to have an opinion or to say the wrong thing or to make controversial art or statements or thoughts.

It’s mostly scary because art is about conversation. That should, in my opinion, always be the point.

The internet is the opposite of conversation. The internet is people putting things out and not taking anything in,” she continued.
