Serena, Venus Williams' father 'King Richard' reacts to Will Smith incident
Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars has garnered a reaction from the father of Venus and Serena Williams, who Smith portrays in "King Richard."
According to his son and spokesperson, Richard Williams does not support violence.
"We don't know all the details of what happened. But we don't condone anyone hitting anyone else unless it's in self-defense," Richard Williams said via his son, Chavoita LeSane, to NBC News.
LeSane went on to share that Venus and Serena's father was just as surprised as viewers at home over the now-viral moment. LeSane declined to provide any further comments on behalf of Richards, 80.
Smith, 53, first addressed the slap minutes after it happened, when he won best actor for his role in "King Richard." During his teary-eyed acceptance speech, Smith brought up the real-life father of the tennis stars.
