As a mother of 10, Rose also shared her heartbreak about not being able to physically be there for her son after the incident. “I was not [at the Oscars] this time.” she said. “I couldn’t reach out to him at that point, there was nothing to do and that’s a hard thing for a mother. No matter how old they are, they’re still your babies.”
In the wake of the slap, Will has publicly apologized to Chris on Instagram, resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, and received a 10-year ban from attending all Academy events for his actions. In a statement to E! News, Will shared, “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision.”
While the event didn’t go the way the presenter or his family had imagined, Rose maintained that she was “really, really proud” of the way Chris carried himself onstage after the incident.
However, she noted that she also felt “really sad,” because “Chris was so happy to be giving the award to Questlove for his Oscar and no one heard his speech. No one was able to just be in the moment, because everybody was just sitting there like, ‘What just happened?'”
When asked if she sees a future where the two stars could one day meet and reconcile, Rose shared she’s leaving that up to them. “That would have to be a decision they made. I feel really bad that [Will] never apologized,” she said. “Something like that is personal. You reach out.”
