A few days after the Oscars ceremony, Smith issued a public apology letter on Instagram.
Locke's statement in public was that "no comedian has ever been attacked for his profession." Later added: "I don't consider myself a victim, and perhaps my mother was hurt the most." I soon stopped minding so much and the next day I started working again. Because of a bit of skin trauma, I would never go to the hospital. ”
