    His star has really crashed and burned, hasn’t it? He tried to put his kids in movies and they can’t act and are also very weird, so no one went to see them. His wife cheated on him and laughed about it. On national TV. He slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars because he told a mean, but not horribly offensive joke. No wonder no one wants to give to their charity.

      He slapped him because of HER reaction. Go look at the video. He’s laughing just as much as the rest of the audience before the camera cuts away. She 100% got on his ass about it so then he went and did that shit.

          Worse. He wasn’t even actually angry. He did it because the woman who laughed about cheating on him on national TV gave him a dirty look. Threw away his entire fucking career because for her.

            To be fair, he is probably set for life anyway. And I think his career was spiraling anyway. What good things has he been in recently?

              I hear King Richard is good. I would say that might be a bit of a sign that is career wasn’t really spiraling considering… You know… The night he slapped Chris Rock he was there to receive his very first Oscar in his entire career for his performance in that exact movie.

        Yup, he liked the joke until he turned to her and saw the death glare. Jada has always been horrible, and this is just another example of it. It doesn’t excuse his behavior, but it does point to why he did it.

      To be fair, it sounds like it might have been a consensual open marriage.

      Speaking of his children, does anybody remember Jaden Smith on Twitter posting super cringe shit? That was probably like a decade ago now

        Judging by Jada’s book and Will’s reactions on interviews, someone definitely forgot to tell him about the open marriage arrangement. Dude found out about it on live TV.

          I think he knew it was open he just didn’t want it to be. He is that whipped for whatever reason so he stays with her.

        Retroactively maybe.

        It was only consensual in the sense that if he didn’t agree to it Jada would have run away with the children and hidden them in the Church of Scientology so he couldn’t ever see them again.

        Retroactively. The dude found out the details on live TV. And he likely only gave “permission” because he knows Jada would run away and steal his kids if he protested. She could bury the kids in the church of Scientology if she wanted, and he’d never see any of them again. So at best, it was consent-by-coercion, which isn’t consent at all.

      Say what you want about the other kids, but I personally think Justice Smith has done some good work. He was great in The Get Down, All the Bright Places, and Dungeons and Dragons.

      He seems like the only one in the entire family that doesn’t have his head shoulders deep in his own ass.

        I can’t tell if this is a joke or not, I just googled it to confirm and Justice Smith is definitely not related to Will Smith.

    If Will left Jada, and went full scorched earth on her and the scientologists (e.g. Leah Remini), We’d all love him again.

      I wouldn’t. He’s always been a cocky prick. You could see it come out in interviews sometimes.

      He basically physically threatened Colbert while being interviewed on his show for his role in Ali. Will Smith is charming, so he’s gotten away with a lot. The mask is off now though.

      Edit: the Colbert interview was for Hancock, not Ali.

            So when he made a comment about how Stephen must have been beaten up at some point? I mean. That’s reaching. it was awkward, but imo really doesn’t rise to “basically physically threatened.” Especially since Colbert has had him on his shows repeatedly afterwards, you’d think that if Stephen didn’t feel safe around him, probly wouldn’t have him back on.

            On another note, god I miss the Colbert Report. That was peak satire.

              That’s how veiled threats work. There was nothing wrong with Colbert’s face. Smith brought up someone kicking his ass out of nowhere. Colbert understood and even said something like “I hope nobody kicks my ass this interview”. Smith later states how he’s handsome and strong. Etc.

                Do you not understand how banter works? Have you never had a conversation with friends before? I mean the guy is a douche but you don’t need to just make wild shit up, there’s plenty of ACTUAL things he’s done to not like him before you start lying

                  Perhaps you just didn’t pick up on the threat, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It was obvious enough for me to notice it and remember it 16 years later.

                  You think I just kept that interview in my pocket that long waiting for the right opportunity to… lie about Will Smith? And that seems to make you angry?

                  This is Jaden isn’t it? I just found Jaden Smith on Lemmy.

                I mean, he also broke into his Muhammad Ali act around the same time, so it could have come from there, but I guess I see your point? I’m just not prepared to judge the guy based upon that.
