EKO HOT BLOG reports that Carolyn Smith, Will Smith’s mother has addressed the viral moment of his onstage violence saying it was the first time in his lifetime act.

She spoke about the actor’s Oscar win and the viral moment he slapped Chris Rock across the face, just minutes prior.

In an interview following the awards show, Carolyn Smith shared how proud she is of her son on his first Oscars win.

“I know how he works, how hard he works…I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting. When I heard the name, I was just, ‘Yes!'” the actor’s mom recalled to Philadelphia’s 6abc.

Carolyn added that she woke up early on Oscars Sunday and gave her son a special shout-out in the family’s group text.

“I started out saying, ‘Good morning, we’ve got to say good luck to Uncle Will,” she recalled.

Carolyn Smith was joined by the actor’s sisters and other relatives as they watched the ceremony from a family home in Philadelphia.

Addressing the viral moment of his onstage violence, Carolyn Smith suggested her son had never been confrontational like that.

“He is a very even, people person. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen him go off,” she said.

“First time in his lifetime… I’ve never seen him do that,” Smith’s mother added.

Despite the on-camera scandal, Carolyn Smith concluded that she is “proud of him being him.”

Meanwhile, Smith’s younger sister Ellen reflected on what her famous brother has overcome to get to where he is today in his acting career.

“I’ve had conversations with him, and it like really kind of broke my heart listening to the things he’s said he had to go through to get to where he is,” she said.

Smith stunned the Dolby Theatre crowd and viewers at home when he took the stage during Rock’s remarks after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Smith’s wife. Rock turned to Pinkett Smith and said, “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it.”

The joke touched a nerve. Pinkett Smith, whose head is shaved, has spoken publicly about her alopecia diagnosis. Rock has also previously joked about her. Rock hosted the 2016 Oscars when some were boycotting the ceremony over the #OscarsSoWhite group of nominees, including the Smiths. Said Rock: “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.”

Smith strode on stage and slapped the comedian across the face. Back in his seat, Smith twice shouted for Rock to “get my wife’s name out your (expletive) mouth.” His words echoed clearly throughout the Dolby, though ABC cut the audio for about 15 seconds. Within an hour, Smith won the best actor. During his acceptance speech, Smith apologized to the Academy.
