It’s a sequence that never ceases to make people talk. On March 27, at the 94th Academy Awards held in Hollywood, Will Smith violently slapped Chris Rock following a clumsy valve on his wife Jada Pinkett Smith who suffers from alopecia. A disease that forced her to shave her head. This sequence has been around the world to the point of (almost) forgetting the prestigious title of best actor won by Will Smith for his role as Richard, the father of Serena and Venus Williams in the biopic The Williams Method. The latter then received the first Oscar of his career and was banned from participating in all ceremonies for 10 years.
“I see my whole family as human beings”
Discreet since the incident, his daughter Willow Smith spoke for the first time about her father’s bloodshed in an interview with The Billboard Friday August 5th. “I see all of my family as human beings, I love and accept them for all of their humanity. Because of the position we are in, our humanity is sometimes not accepted, and we are expected to were acting in a way that is not conducive to healthy human life and is not conducive to honesty”reacted the young woman of 21 years.
A week earlier, Friday July 29, Will Smith, who had deserted social networks for a while, had again apologized to Chris Rock in a video posted on Instagram. “My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here when you’re ready to talk”, he had launched. Apologies accepted by Chris Rock? In truth, not so much. According to a media source EntertainmentTonight , the comedian of 57 years does not wish to discuss with Will Smith. During a stand-up, Chris Rock had even launched this tackle with regard to the husband of Jada Pinkett Smith: “People who say words can hurt have clearly never been punched in the face.” That has the merit of being clear.
