You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer.” he went on to say in the video. “My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.” Smith also addressed what had been going on in his life since the incident, stating, “I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you,”
