The movie ‘King Richard’, which encompasses Venus and Serena Williams’ life from their father Richard’s point of view, was a huge success in the theater. It also pleased the critics and made a huge buzz.

However, Smith’s actions at the Oscars brought unnecessary attention to the movie. On the night of the Oscars, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, the host of the show, for cracking a joke on his wife. Though Chris said nothing during the event, he recently mocked the actor in a show.
