The Tragedy of Will Smith - What Made Him Snap


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJrLfR91llM

Will Smith's persona was meticulously curated to the public as a great dad and good husband who kept a goofy, light-hearted demeanor even during serious conversations. Then at the 2022 Oscars, the slap and Will's speech revealed a lot about the pressures of maintaining a persona as a celebrity.

Honestly, I don't care what 'pressures' he's under. You don't do that.

Exactly.

Agree 100%

reply

What made him snap?

Ego, arrogance, believing he's above the law and common decency, and also believing that the public would approve of absolutely anything he did. It's what I call "Hollywood Ego Disease", and it has no cure, not even falling off the A-list.

he lost all his black street cred when society found out about his cuckolding status

reply

Like anyone here is an expert on street cred...

I was more disgusted as he walked down the stairs with that big grin on his face.

Then his wife tweeted, "That's how we roll" or something like that.

Disgusting, the both of them.

reply

he is acting like a tough thug but that doesnt stop anyone from making fun of him for being a weak silly cuckold

reply

it wasn't his wife - it was his she-son.

reply

I would say stupidity but I'm not an expert on matters such as this.
