I mean his people wrote up a piece saying I apologize to Chris Rock, but you see something like that is personal, you reach out."

Rock's mother stated that she personally doesn't think the Academy should take Smith's Oscar back

Rose would only like a more personal apology from Smith, rather than the one he released to the press
