Will Smith made headlines at the 2022 Academy Awards, not only for winning best actor for his role in King James but for slapping Chris Rock on stage.
In case you missed it, Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith and Smith was not happy about it. He walked up on stage, smacked the comedian, and was then comforted by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry backstage.
The discourse surrounding the slap went around the internet like wildfire, but Smith’s family has been largely supportive of him, until now. Jada Pinkett Smith might be changing her tune and agreed that her husband overreacted.
