| 0:00.0 | Hades Urban Listeners, Will Smith published his apology to Chris Rock regarding the slap |
| 0:05.5 | during the Oscar ceremony earlier this year, and I thought I would analyze it. |
| 0:10.5 | Coincidentally, I've been working on a deep dive on apology, I've been reading all the research, |
| 0:15.3 | and really I've been thinking about apologies, effective apologies for decades as a couple's |
| 0:20.3 | therapists that often comes up in session. And so I thought I would analyze his apology. |
| 0:26.0 | My name is Dr. Kirkhan, I'm a therapist and a professor. Let's see what happens. |

| 1:33.3 | Now, he was the one who was violent, but I think he did that because he felt threatened somehow. |
| 1:41.6 | Not that that makes it okay. It was in my estimation, based on what I understand, even given the |
| 1:47.0 | background information, completely not okay, that he did that. My hypothesis about what happened, |
| 1:52.7 | I don't know if it's true, is based on his own book, excerpts from his book, and also interviews |
| 1:58.3 | that he's given about his childhood that involved witnessing domestic violence in his house. |
| 2:04.4 | He saw his father being quite violent with his mother, and he felt responsible as a lot of |
