    An apology should be heartfelt, remorseful, and sincere. No matter who you are.
  • Y’all left out Travis Scott’s apology after the Astroworld tragedy.
  • Kanye West apology to Taylor Swift for interrupting her on stage was Weak AF.
  • The worst part of Logan’s video is that multiple YouTubers who’ve gone there have said they were told in advance what to do if they saw a body, namely turn the camera off, go get someone who works at the park and do not upload the video. So he and his team likely were told this too, but he just didn’t care/listen.
  • Celebrity apology steps: (1) Wait until people lose their minds over your actions. (2) Say sorry to everyone but the victim. (3) Hope it all blows over. (4) explain how your traumatic past eventually led to this incident and profit from the resulting sympathy. (5) promising to be better.
  • Will Smith was laughing then looked at Jada seen she was upset and thought he had to do something. If we as people are supposed to "keep certain people's names out of their mouth" how would a comedian make any kind of jokes. There's thing's called "Roasts" which I'd love to see one done about the whole Smith family 😆
  • Will Smith “apologizing” feels like a hostage video as Jada’s is out of the camera.
  • I found Spacey's apology in the role of the character Frank Underwood to be very creepy
  • @TSierra
    It’s pretty crazy how it’s almost been a year since the slap. I remember how viral it went, I was on Instagram and I’ll say about 70% of my home page was about the slap.

    Will Smith was probably my favourite celebrity as a kid, lost all respect for him after the Oscars incident, not just because he did it but his obvious lack of remorse about it, you can tell even now he's not really sorry about it, he doesn't regret hitting Rock at all, he just regrets damaging his career.
  • @RobinStradley
    The saddest one to me was the whole Will Smith Oscars thing. I've loved Will since the early 90s, but Chris Rock is one of the best comedians to ever grab a mic, and I've loved him since the 90s too. As a fan of both of them, it sucks because I will never see Will the same again.
  • The only reason why they apologize for something they did is because they got caught. No other reason given just that they simply got caught.
  • Funny how Rock puts out his special close to the Oscar’s.. and Watch Mojo puts out their video right after Rocks special 😂
  • Will Smith was chuckling like most of the crowd, until he saw his wife wasn't. Even though Jada wasn't pleased, the response to the joke was NOT to heckle and storm the stage. Chris was the comedian, but Smith was the clown by the end.
  • @c.r.e.a.m.650
    Right after Chris Rock’s special. 👏🏼 y’all are good😂
  • Logan Paul: "I intended to raise awareness for suicide prevention" His video: laughing and joking at a dead body K.
  • Paula Deen’s apology was so bad that I payed more attention to the weather report at the bottom of the screen
