“I know to do what we do you gotta be able to take abuse; you gotta be able to have people talk crazy about you,” theFresh Prince of Bel-Airalum continued. “In this business you gotta be able to have people disrespecting you, and you gotta smile and pretend like that’s okay.”

Will also shared thatDenzel Washingtontold him minutes before his win that “at your highest moments, be careful because that’s when the devil comes for you.”
He then addressed the incident directly, offering an apology to the Academy and his fellow actors for the incident — but failed to mention Rock.
“I wantto apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees,” he said. “Art imitates life: I look like the crazy father. Just like they said about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things.”
He added, “Being able to love and care for my mother and my family, my wife … Thank you for this honor. Thank you for this moment. … I hope the Academy invites me back.”
A source later told PEOPLE that the heated exchange between the Best Actor winner and Oscars presentergoes back several years, when Rock took aim at Jada during his hosting gig at the 2016 Academy Awards.
“When Chris hostedthe Oscarsin 2016, Jada was boycotting because of’Oscars So White.‘In his monologue, he made fun of her, saying she can’t boycott something she wasn’t invited to,” the insider explained. “Will was still mad about that.”
Representatives for Rock have not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
