00:00
Chris, I apologize to you.
00:06
My behavior was unacceptable.
00:10
And I'm here whenever you're ready to talk.
00:24
Why didn't you apologize to Chris in your acceptance speech?
00:30
Um, I was fogged out by that point.
00:36
It's, it's, it's, it's all fuzzy.
00:39
I've reached out to Chris.
00:42
Um, and the mesh, the message that came back is that, uh, he's not ready to
00:47
talk and when he is, he will reach out.
00:52
I spent the last three months, um, replaying and understanding the nuances
01:02
and, and the complexities of what happened in, in that moment.
01:08
Um, and I'm not gonna try to unpack all of that right now, but I can say to all
01:16
of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave.
01:25
In that moment.
01:27
There's no part of me that thinks that's the optimal way to handle a
01:35
feeling of disrespect or, or insults.
01:41
After Jada rolled her eyes, did she tell you to do something?
01:45
No.
01:46
Um, it's like, you know, I'm, I made a choice on my own, from my own
01:54
experiences, from my history with Chris Jada had nothing to do with it.
02:01
I'm sorry, babe.
02:03
Um, I'm gonna say sorry to my, my kids and my family for the
02:11
heat that I brought on all of us.
02:14
Um, to all my fellow nominees, you know, this is a community, it's like I
02:20
won because you, you voted for me.
02:22
And it, it, it really breaks my heart to have stolen and, and
02:27
tarnished, tarnished your moment.
02:31
Um, I can still see Questlove's eyes, you know, it, it happened on Questlove's
02:40
award and, you know, it's like, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry, really isn't sufficient.
02:53
What would you say to the people who looked up to you before the slap or
02:58
people who expressed that you let them down?
03:02
Um, so there's two things.
03:06
One, um, disappointing people is my central trauma.
03:13
Um, I hate when I let people down.
03:18
Um, so it, it hurts.
03:23
Uh, it hurts me psychologically and emotionally to know I didn't live up
03:28
to, uh, people's image and impression of me.
03:35
And the work I'm trying to do is I am deeply remorseful and I'm trying to be
03:47
remorseful without being ashamed of myself, right?
03:51
I'm a human and I made a mistake and I'm trying not to think of myself as a piece
04:04
of shit.
04:05
Um, so I would say to those people, I know it was confusing.
04:11
I know it was shocking.
04:14
Um, but I, I promise you, I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light
04:24
and love and joy into the world.
04:28
And, you know, if you, if you hang on, I promise we'll be able to be friends
04:35
again.
