Among other revelations, it was recently also revealed by Oscars Producer Will Packer that the Los Angeles Police Department was “prepared” to have Will Smith arrested had Rock pressed charges against him. Although, Packer told Good Morning America that Chris denied the offer despite LAPD telling him that Smith could be charged for battery.
Will, on the other hand, posted an apology for Rock on his Instagram account. The actor admitted his mistake adding that he reacted emotionally and maintained that he was wrong. In the meantime, other celebrities have also been weighing on the issue including Jim Carrey among others. The Truman Show star told Gayle King that he would have sued Smith had he been there in Chris’ place.
