On Saturday it was reported that some of Will Smith’s movie projects are being canceled or paused. And Will Smith career may be taking a hit. The news comes after the March 27th Oscars controversy.
Mega-star Will Smith went up on stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock during the award show. Rock was in the middle of presenting an award for best documentary feature at the time. And he made an off-hand joke about GI Jane directed to Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada Pinkett has a shaved head due to the medical condition, known as alopecia.
After Smith slapped Chris Rock, he returned to his seat. And shouted toward the comedian “Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth.”
Later in the show, a teary-eyed Will Smith accepted the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in “King Richard.”
