Several days after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, Willow Smith went on social media to tell her followers that “literally everyone” is “going through a lot right now,” and advised that people “just be kind.”
Although the 94th Academy Awards spotlighted movies like Dune, CODA and The Power of the Dog, this year’s most-talked about Oscars moment remains Will Smith coming on stage to slap Chris Rock.
Like her brother Jaden, Willow Smith has been in the public spotlight for all her life, initially for simply being Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s daughter, but nowadays for her singing career and a handful of acting roles.
Regarding this week’s public apology, it was reported that Jada Pinkett Smith allegedly urged Will to say he was sorry to Chris Rock “because it has become this really dark cloud over her Red Table Talk series,” and that it would “be impossible for him to move forward successfully” if he didn’t address what happened.
