    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.
