Zoë Kravitz is the latest public figure to call out Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards, commenting on the incident in two Instagram posts she made about the show.

Kravitz took to social media to voice her disapproval of Smith’s actions, sarcastically captioning her photo that it’s apparently okay to “assault people on stage now.”

“here’s a picture of my dress at the show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now,” Kravitz wrote in the caption of her first post about the evening.

“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,” Kravitz wrote in her second post.

In what appears to be a deleted comment, Kravitz also responded to a fan who asked her if she supported Smith for defending his wife.

“nope,” Kravitz wrote.

In the short amount of time that has passed since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for joking about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair, Smith has apologized to the Academy and Rock for acting out of emotion. The Academy has also released a statement saying that Smith’s actions will be under review for violating the show’s code of conduct.

Rock has yet to make a public statement following the incident.
