The Will Smith-Chris Rock slap at the Oscars brouhaha isn’t ending anytime soon because there is a lot to come in the coming days and weeks. Reports say Will Smith has checked into a luxury rehab clinic following the chaos he caused at the Oscars to please Jada Pinkett Smith.
I pray Will Smith comes out refined and as a better person who won’t tolerate Jada Pinkett’s BS anymore via AS;
A Hollywood source has told spoken to British outlet The Sun saying that the actor “will get help dealing with stress” after his slapping of Chris Rock.
Will, for his part, has limited himself to apologising, first to those present at the celebration where hewon the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in King Richard, and then apologising to Chris and his family and friends through a statement posted on social media.
But that’s not all. Such is the barrage of information, criticism and negative comments he is receiving that he has said enough is enough. The actor has entered a luxury rehabilitation clinic to manage everything that is coming into his lifeafter his slap of the comedian, as reported exclusively by the British newspaper The Sun.
According to a Hollywood source who contacted the tabloid, “Will is very upset. He will receive help to deal with the stress”. Not only has he been heavily criticised, but he has also lost several contracts, such as the one he signed with Netflix for the production of ‘Fast and Loose’, which has been suspended.
On what’s next in Will Smith’s career now that he’s likely to be fully canceled, this is what you need to know.
Will Smith has entered of his own free will, choosing a centre frequented by other US celebrities. What remains to be seen now is how long he will remain in hospital.
“This is undoubtedly the toughest battle of his career. It will be a high-end retreat used by the rich and famous, and he will do a lot of soul-searching and figure out how he can move on,” the source told The Sun.
“He hopes to move on so he can come back and save his reputation and career. His resignation speech raises the possibility that he fears he may be stripped of his Oscar. That would be a blow to him,” the person concluded.
Will’s best bet is to lay low for a while and hopes it blows over. The second thing he really needs to do is reach out to Chris Rock and beg him to accept his apology. If Rock shows him some mercy then that will go a long way to making this all go away.
Flip the pages for all the times Jada has made Will look like a fool in public.
