 Will Smith  ’s infamous Oscars slap will go down in history as one of the most outrageous entertainment and live television moments, and the world can’t stop talking about it.

Unfortunately, after Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock, all the historic moments at the 94th Academy Awards were overshadowed, and some celebrities like Zoë Kravitz reacted to the violent act.

The 33-year-old actress took to social media to share a photo of herself on the red carpet with the caption: “Here’s a picture of my dress at the show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now.”

Kravitz was among the crowd when Smith stormed the stage after Rock poked fun at Jada Pinkett Smith and compared her to Demi Moore in her role of “G.I. Jane.”

Less than 24 hours after his shocking behavior, the Oscar-winning actor offered a public apology to Chris Rock, the members of the Academy, the producers, the attendees, and everyone who watched around the world.

The regretful star also apologized to Serena and Venus Williams, their family and King Richard’s crew — the film that earned him the Oscar for Best Actor. His apology comes after reports confirmed Rock would not be pressing charges against Will.

After the incident, the LAPD released a statement revealing that Rock declined to file a police report against Will Smith. “LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program,” the department told CNN. “The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a police report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.”
