Speaking to Trevor Noah on The Daily Show on Tuesday, the After Earth star described the moment as horrific. Will Smith also admitted that he was going through a lot at that moment and lost it. He said:

"But at the end of the day, I just lost it. I guess what I would say is that you just never know what somebody is going through. I was going through something that night. Not that justifies my behaviour at all."

Smith has also been begging fans to watch his upcoming movie, Emancipation. According to Geo.tv, the actor said netizens must not punish the people who worked on the project with him because of his mistakes. He said:

"The only discomfort my heart has around that is that so many people have done spectacular work on this film. My hope is that my team isn't penalised at all for my actions."
