Doesn’t seem like the mad buzz around Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the live telecast of Oscars 2022 is fading anytime soon. What looked like a decision taken in anger and later apologized for, has led to consequences for Smith who is right now deep in the lap of controversy. While The Academy has already ordered a detailed investigation which also could lead to them revoking his first Oscar that he won the same night, Will has himself resigned as member of the Academy. Turns out the head has reached his projects too
If you are somehow away from the news and don’t know the row, it was during the ceremony of Oscars earlier this week, Comedian Chris Rock took the stage to narrate a monologue. Rock went on to make a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s baldness which she has got due to alopecia. This irked Will Smith who straight away went on stage and slapped him. The actor later apologised for the decision he took in rage.
Now if the latest reports are to go by, it seems like the heat of his decision is now affecting his job prospectus too. As per them, studios are taking a back seat when it comes to going ahead with the projects they had roped in Will Smith for. The most prominent being Netflix who has reportedly put their film Fast & Loose on hold.
