Ticket price for Chris Rock's comedy tour skyrocket after Will Smith slap at Oscars!

At yesterday's Oscars, Hollywood actor Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for joking about his wife. This shocked many.

Oscar

The Oscars are one of the most important awards in the film industry. The festival, which selects the best films from around the world and awards them to artists every year, took place yesterday in Los Angeles, United States. Awards are presented in a total of 23 categories at the Oscars.

Angry Smith

Host and comedian Chris Rock joked about the hair of actress Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of Will Smith, who was nominated for Best Actor. Angered by this, Smith went on to the stage, slapped Rock, and returned to his seat. This incident instantly became the most-talked about all over the world.

Apologizes

Will Smith said on his Instagram page that he regretted his action and apologized. "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. 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 apologize 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. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness. I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us."

Good luck

Chris will be attending a stand-up comedy show at the Wilbur Theater in Boston from March 30 to April 1. TickPick, an online ticket booking company, has announced that ticket sales for the comedy show have increased significantly since the Oscars.

The company said on Twitter, "We have sold more tickets to see Chris Rock overnight than we did in the past month combined."
