Zoe Kravitz blasts Will Smith over Oscars slap in brutal photo caption

Zoe Kravitz has taken aim at Will Smith in a barbed Instagram post as she showed off her Oscars dress.

The Batman actress, 33, shared a photo of herself wearing a daring white Saint Laurent backless gown to the Vanity Fair afterparty to her social media page.

Captioning the picture, she wrote: "and here is a picture of my dress at the party after the award show -where we are apparently screaming profanities and assaulting people on stage now."

Her brutal caption didn't go unnoticed by her 8.2million followers, with one writing: "the looks are killer, the captions are the tone of reality i’m living for."

While another commented: "Captions bro."

Will Smith issued a grovelling apology to Chris Rock on Tuesday after walking up onto the Academy Awards stage and slapping him live on air.

His Oscar win is now "under review" following his behaviour, which he himself has admitted was "unacceptable and inexcusable.

The stand-up comedian, 57, had made a reference to alopecia sufferer Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head by joking that he couldn't wait for "GI Jane 2".

Despite initially appearing to laugh, Will's demeanour seemed to abruptly change as he stormed onto the stage and slapped Chris across the face on live TV.

Chris attempted to laugh off the awkward moment - which fans had believed was part of the show initially - but the atmosphere in the room turned when Will furiously shouted: "Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.”

Will shared his apology on social media, writing: "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.

"Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.

"I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.

“I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world."

Serena and Venus were in the audience watching Will accept the Oscar for playing their father in the movie, and Will also reached out to them, as he said sorry for his violent outburst overshadowing what should have been a momentous occasion.

“I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us,” he concluded.

“I am a work in progress. Sincerely, Will.”.
