AR Rahman recently joined the cast of Heropanti 2 to promote on The Kapil Sharma Show. AR Rahman was shown comments below his photo with Will Smith published in 2018 as part of a segment of the show when host Kapil Sharma shows humorous comments on guests’ Instagram photos. Rahman was seen calling Will a “sweetheart” as they all joked about how people discussed Will’s slapgate scandal in the comments section.

Rahman’s words against Will elicited conflicting reactions from Reddit users when a video clip from the show was uploaded online. “He is a darling,” Rahman said when shown a photo of Will. He is a pleasant individual.” “Sometimes such things happen,” he added, implying Will slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.”

“Great point!” a Reddit user said in response to AR Rahman’s take on Will Smith. However, you shall be demoted to the moon.” Several others sided with Rahman, stating that he had the right to speak his mind.

“A man can have an opinion!” said one person. Will Smith’s supporters aren’t all psychopaths or abusers! We should have the patience to listen to both views without passing judgment…something that today’s ‘enlightened’ world lacks. If you hold an unpopular viewpoint, you will be crucified.” “Fair enough,” said another. “He has the right to his views.”

Many others were also dissatisfied with Will Smith’s performance at the Oscars this year. “I agree with you if you say Will Smith is a terrific guy who just had a bad f***ing day. However, violence can never be the best solution!! “Just keep trying,” one Reddit member advised.

Weeks after a whirlwind frenzy over Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the Oscars, a lot has happened. After Will apologized to Chris through Instagram, the hits keep on coming for the Bad Boys actor. The Oscars have decided to ban him from the awards which came after Will Smith publicly resigned from the academy. Sony and Netflix followed with an announcement putting Will Smith’s projects on hold.

On top of these, the media has dug up old rumors on Jada Smith’s affairs with Tupac and even Chris Rock. Some claimed that the slap was in part a response to the rumor that Jada and Chris went on a private getaway without the knowledge of the actor.

Jada has continuously called for “healing” saying that his family is going through these changes together. The slapping incident has reopened old wounds that were not acknowledged for a long time. Their marriage had many problems in past and it has resurfaced all in under one month.

Among the issues is the admission of Jada Smith regarding her affair with August Alsina, a 29-year-old musician. Will Smith remained positive about these allegations, in an interview he said they never hide things from each other. He also said that he and his wife talk about everything so there are no surprises.

Another factor that people are looking into is Will Smith’s $350 million fortune which could be split in half if the divorce pushes through. This will be the cause of a lengthy divorce discussion between the two considering they have 2 children.

There’s a rumor that something is wrong with their utopia. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have openly admitted to being in a relationship on numerous occasions. According to some stories, Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett Smith supposedly had an affair, which could have added to Will Smith’s dissatisfaction. However, there is no evidence to support this. Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett Smith collaborated on the Madagascar films and were considered to get along well.

Will Smith and Chris Rock met on the set of Prince of Bel-Air, and they’ve been friends ever since. In fact, Chris Rock previously remarked that when it comes to comedy, Chris Rock is off-limits for him. In 2016, however, Chris Rock mocked Jada Pinkett Smith for participating in the #OscarsSoWhite boycott at the Oscars. He’d started, “Jada has stated that she will not be attending the demonstration. ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ I wondered. “Jada’s boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s underwear,” he continued, adding, “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s underwear.” I hadn’t been invited!”

He made fun of Jada once again at the Oscars in 2022, and all hell broke loose. Will Smith apologized, saying, “My actions at the Academy Awards last night were both wrong and inexcusable. Jokes about my medical condition are part of the work, but one about Jada’s illness was too much for me to handle, and I reacted emotionally.’ Chris, I’d like to officially apologize to you. I was both out of line and incorrect. I’m embarrassed, and my actions do not reflect the guy I aspire to be. Violence has no place in a world of love and peace.”

“The Board has decided, for a period of 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards,” Academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement on Friday.

“I accept and respect the Academy’s decision,” Will Smith said acknowledging the decision of the Academy.

The Academy’s letter added: “The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage.”

“During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room,” the letter went on to state. “For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers, and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short — unprepared for the unprecedented.”

The Board of Governors said in a previous statement that they wanted the matter to be “handled in a timely fashion.”

Smith’s resignation means that he is no longer part of the Academy’s voting body, but it does not prevent the Oscar winner from being nominated in the future. Smith can also still be nominated despite being barred from attending the Oscars.

He is set to present the best actress award next year, however, this tradition will have to be replaced due to the ban.

British newspaper The Sun, reported that Will Smith will spend some time in a rehabilitation clinic. The impact of the backlash has hit Will hard, so he will be getting help on dealing with stress,” explained the newspaper.

“This is unquestionably the battle of his career. It will be a high-end retreat used by the rich and famous and he will be doing a lot of soul searching and working out how he can move forward,” continued telling’ The Sun’.

Will Smith hopes, according to the newspaper’s source, to return in time to save his career and reputation. Recall that, after the official apology, the actor has already been dismissed from the Academy of Motion Picture Oscars after the assault.

Days after the slap was on the air, Will issued an apology and officially resigned from the Academy. The academy was sent to meet to talk about possible repercussions imposed on the actor. Sony and Netflix also put both of his projects on hold. His career was in shambles moments after he won the Best Actor award.

“I resign my membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and will accept any other consequences that management deems appropriate,” Will Smith said in a statement.

For its part, the awards organization opened a disciplinary file against the performer for “inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening conduct and compromising the integrity of the Academy.”

In his talk during the Bishop T.D. Jakes’ leadership summit in Washington, he was asked about the incident.

“Well, there’s a saying when the devil ignores you, then you know you’re doing something wrong,” Washington said in a video of the exchange posted on Jakes’ verified Twitter account.

“You know, the devil goes, ‘Oh, no, leave him alone, he’s my favorite. Don’t bother him.’ Conversely, when the devil comes at you, maybe it’s because you’re trying to do something right. And for whatever reason, the devil got a hold of that circumstance that night.”

During his acceptance speech, Smith said that prior to his win, fellow nominee Washington shared some wisdom with him: “At your highest moment be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.”

“Fortunately, there were people there, not just me, but others in the gap,” Washington told Jakes. “Tyler Perry came right immediately, right over there with me.”

Washington would not say what the three men spoke or prayed about after the incident.

“Who are we to condemn?” Washington asked. “I don’t know all the ins and outs of the situation, but I know the only solution was prayer.”

Will Smith issued a public apology on Instagram and respectfully resigned from the Oscar Awards. His projects with Netflix and Sony were both on hold.
