The actress addressed the controversy and said, “Now, about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile. In the state of the world today, we need them both. And we all actually need one other more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that keeps figuring this thing called life together.”
After the incident, Will broke down while receiving the Oscar for Best Actor and publicly apologized to Chris Rock. He also resigned from the Academy, and he has been banned to attend Oscars for a decade.
