Police seen outside Will Smith’s mansion
<p dir="ltr">Police were seen outside Will Smith’s LA mansion a day after he <a href="https://oversixty.com.au/news/news/the-slap-heard-around-the-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slapped comedian Chris Rock</a> at the Oscars.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Smith’s home in Calabasas was attended by officers on Tuesday afternoon, who confirmed the actor had called the cops himself, <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/5007092/cops-seen-will-smiths-calabasas-mega-mansion-oscars-ceremony/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The US Sun</a> reported.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is alleged that a drone was seen flying over the mega-mansion but by the time police arrived it had disappeared. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The police department also confirmed that no report was filed by Rock after he was assaulted by Smith.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me,” Rock said as Smith walked off.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Smith then yelled back, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth”.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Smith took to Instagram where he publicly apologised to Rock for slapping him on-stage. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“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.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">LA Police released a statement confirming no report was filed by Rock but an investigation could ensue should he decide to. </p>
<p dir="ltr">"The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a police report,” the statement read.</p>
<p dir="ltr">"If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report."</p>
