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.
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.
Does it matter? We know he can drop a stellar performance with the right production. Fact is, Will Smith isn’t going anywhere unless he retires, he can have a career as long as Morgan Freeman’s if he gets his personal life in check.
Shit man, Mel Gibson disappeared for like 10 years after going all racist anti-semite on the phone yelling at his girlfriend that one time. Just laid low, then directed Hacksaw Ridge and everyone was just like “hey! He apologized, and this film was alright!”
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.
The true moral of the story is to not believe Hollywood PR. Will Smith has been a media darling for decades. The guy could do no wrong.
Now it turns out he’s just another deeply flawed rich person.
An important lesson for people who idolize celebrities and engage in parasocial relationships with them. Whether it’s Kim Kardashian or Keanu Reeves, you have no idea of what they’re really like, stop fooling yourself that you do.
Will Smith has been a cocky dick the entire time — he just had charisma so people let it slide.
You shouldn’t idolize any celebrity, period. Get some real heroes for fucks sake. Your local nursing home staff are more heroic than any celebrity. One gets fame and fortune. The other gets poverty and depression. Which takes more heroism to persevere through?
What if my local nursing home staff yells at fast food workers because they accidentally put pickles on her hamburger after sitting in the hotass kitchen for 9 hours straight doing the same thing over and over as fast they can because the store is understaffed and their replacement is late?
Anyone can be a dick, just remember everyone is human and has weird emotions just like you.
Well, I’m assuming poverty and depression would play a large role in someone lashing out at the wrong person (the fast food worker) while the little rich bitches get a life catered to them. They may both be human, but one group does not even remotely live in the same reality the poor and depressed experience (the nurse AND fast food worker) so really they can fuck off and wipe their little crocodile tears with their hundo bills.
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.
To be fair, it sounds like it might have been a consensual open marriage.
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.
To be fair, it sounds like it might have been a consensual open marriage.
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.
Justice Smith really is the shining star of the Pinkett-Smith family, isn’t he? Not really a fan of his acting, he kinda just seems like he’s taken one too many Xanax (don’t get me started about that fucking video game), but none of it compares to how odd his siblings are. I’m glad he turned out OK.

Are you implying that makes it better? Or worse?
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?

He’ll be back.

You take what you said about Keanu back rn
Keanu’s been nothing but a real G since the 80’s.

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

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.
Imagine how insecure a person must feel to tolerate that and act in the ways he does.
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.

Jayden was good in Pursuit of Happyness, idk about any other good role beyond that.
Gotham was not bad
Gotham was great, but Jaden wasn’t in it.
I read it as Jada, oops
Was he in the show or are you talking about a movie?
He’s still acting. The trailer for Bad Boys 4 came out just a couple days ago.
Yeah but a lot of people on lemmy are bad mouthing him, so he’s truly fallen on hard times.
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.

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.
Well, that’s probably because Justice Smith isn’t related to Will Smith.
Lol, wow. Yeah TIL. This whole time I thought he was the kid from Will Smith’s first marriage.
Justice Smith really is the shining star of the Pinkett-Smith family, isn’t he?
