The movie king Richard was a total hit at the box office and also earned appreciation from the critics. It showcases the struggles and achievements of the tennis legends Venus and Serena from their father Richard Williams’ perspective. However, Will Smith, who portrayed Richard, brought unnecessary attention to the movie at the Oscars.

Will slapped the host of the night, Chris Rock, for cracking a joke about his wife Jada’s hair. Thereby, attracting a variety of comments. Recently, Jada Pinkett Smith addressed the matter and how the Smith family is coping with the situation.

And ended her note with, “Until then… the table will continue offering itself to powerful, inspiring and healing testimonies like that of our incredibly impressive first guest. Thanks for joining us.” Thereafter, she initiated the discussion, thus bringing back the show on its usual track.

What Consequences Did Will Face?

Will Smith could have apologized just a few hours after the incident, as he received the award for the best actor in front of the same crowd. But he chose not to do so. Thus, inviting a tremendous backlash from all over the world. Therefore, a day after his anger-ridden move, Smith wrote a long apology letter accepting his faults to mend the situation.

Chris Rock seems to take the incident lightly as he took no legal actions against Smith. Even so, the Academy awards punished the actor in their own way. A week after the night of the Oscars Academy award’s decision was circulated. They banned Will Smith from all Academy events, including the Oscars, for 10 years.
