I agree.
Smith comes across as a bit aggressive and not very apologetic for an apology.

Will Smith offers first on-camera apology to Chris Rock for Oscars slap
Will Smith is offering his first on-camera apology for slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards, saying he’s “deeply remorseful” about the “mistake” he made.www.wtnh.com
I‘m still disgusted, what crap. Me,me,me.
“Disappointing people is my central trauma.
“I hate when I let people down, so it hurts psychologically and emotionally to know that I didn’t live up to people’s image and impression of me,” he further explained. “The work I’m trying to do is I am deeply remorseful, and I’m trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself.”
Rock has refused to speak to him so far about the moment he deemed “unacceptable.”
“I reached out to Chris, and the message that came back is he’s not ready to talk, but when he is, he will reach out,” Smith said
I was bored so....
Will Smith's apology video
Question - Why didn't you apologise to Chris in your acceptance speech?
Will - I was fogged out by that point. It's all fuzzy. I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk and when he is, he will reach out. So, I will say to you Chris, 'I apologise to you. My behaviour was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk.'
I want to apologise to Chris's mother. I saw an interview that Chris's mother did and you know, that was one of the things about that moment I just didn't realise, and you know I wasn't thinking about how many people who got hurt in that moment. So, I want to apologise to Chris's mother. I want to apologise to Chris's family, specifically Tony Rock. You know, we had a great relationship. You know, Tony Rock was my man and this is probably irreparable.
I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuances and the complexities of what happened in that moment. And I'm not going to try to unpack all of that right now, but I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment. There's no part of me that thinks that's the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.
Question - After Jada rolled her eyes did she tell you to do something?
Will - No. (laughs incredulously). It's like, I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences, from my history with Chris. Jada had nothing to do with it. I'm sorry babe. I wanna say sorry to my kids and my family, for the heat that I brought on all of us. To all my fellow nominees, you know, this is a community, it's like I won because you voted for me. And it really breaks my heart to have stolen and tarnished your moment. I can still see Quest Love's eyes. It happened on Quest Love's award, you know, it's like I'm sorry really isn't sufficient.
Question - What would you say to the people who looked up to you before the slap or people who expressed that you let them down?
Will - So, there's two things, 1. Disappointing people is my central trauma. I hate when I let people down. So, it hurts me psychologically and emotionally to know I didn't live up to peoples image and impression of me. And the work I'm trying to do is, I am deeply remorseful. And I'm trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself. Right? I'm human, and I made a mistake, and I'm trying not to think of myself as a piece of s***. So, I would say to those people 'I know it was confusing, I know it was shocking, but I promise you, I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light and love and joy into the world. And, you know, if you hang on, I promise we will be able to be friends again.
Say, for example, I post misinformation on Websleuths I will usually say 'My apologies'. Although, in person if I make a mistake I'll say sorry.Does anyone else think there is a difference between saying "I apologize" and "I'm sorry"? .. The first thing that I noticed is he uses "I apologize" when addressing Chris and Chris's family and then turns to "I'm sorry" when addressing himself and his own family.
A quick google search ...
Is it correct to say apologize?
There is a subtle difference between saying "I'm sorry" and "I apologize". An apology is a formal admission of a wrongdoing. It may or may not be heartfelt — i.e., a person may apologize without feeling remorseful.
Say, for example, I post misinformation on Websleuths I will usually say 'My apologies'. Although, in person if I make a mistake I'll say sorry.
If I've offended or hurt someone in person or online I will typically say 'I'm really sorry'.
So yeah, the google search result kind of fits how I issue an apology.
