Will Smith Slaps Host at Oscars, Sparks Controversy
Will Smith, the renowned Hollywood actor, made headlines at the 94th Academy Awards where he received his first-ever Best Actor Oscar for his outstanding performance in the movie “King Richard.”
However, his triumph was overshadowed by a controversial incident involving host Chris Rock.
Smith slapped Rock in the face after the latter made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia.
Following the slap, Smith took to the stage and publicly apologized for his actions.
He attributed his behavior to the abuse he has endured throughout his career in the acting industry.

The emotional moment of accepting the Oscar was marked by tears streaming down Smith’s face.
Not everyone was sympathetic towards Smith’s apology.
American broadcaster Megyn Kelly compared him to Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
In an interview with Dan Wooten, Kelly expressed her disdain for Smith’s speech and likened him to Markle, who she believes constantly complains about the challenges of being a princess.
Kelly questioned whether someone as globally recognized and successful as Smith should be concerned about negative comments or criticism.
Smith later extended his apologies to Chris Rock, acknowledging that his actions were inappropriate and that he lost control upon hearing the joke about Jada.
The Academy announced that they would investigate the incident, leaving open the possibility of imposing sanctions on Smith.
Despite Smith’s remorseful words, Megyn Kelly believes that the slapping incident was primarily about Smith seeking attention for himself.
She expressed her opinion, stating that she perceived it as Smith making the moment all about himself.
However, Kelly did commend Jada for her composure and handling of the incident.
Interestingly, while many women understand the importance of supporting each other, it appears that not all individuals named Meghan or Megyn share the same sentiment.
Prior to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s highly anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey, conservative journalist Meghan Kelly continued to express her critical views on the couple’s royal fallout.
On Twitter, she shared a post that sarcastically highlighted the couple’s transition from billionaires to millionaires, offering her thoughts and prayers during their adjustment to new staff and a new mansion.
During the interview, Kelly live-tweeted her reactions on March 7, 2021.
Summarizing her coverage, she criticized Meghan for presenting herself as naive, particularly when Meghan mentioned feeling like the little mermaid who lost her voice after falling in love with a prince.
Kelly sarcastically remarked that it must have been shocking for Meghan to realize that someone else would be in charge within the British royal family.
Even after the shocking revelations made by Meghan Markle during the interview, Megyn Kelly did not hold back her criticism.
She accused the couple of capitalizing on their name and likeness for personal gain after being financially cut off by the royal family.
Kelly also argued that Meghan failed to take responsibility for her own role in the fallout, suggesting that she only regretted trusting the royals to protect her and Harry.
According to Kelly, the couple victimized themselves and portrayed themselves as the most mistreated individuals in the press, which she found hard to believe.
Kelly’s remarks received considerable backlash, but she remained resolute and unapologetic.
She rejected claims that criticizing Meghan or Oprah was racist and asserted that they were capable of handling criticism.
In contrast, she criticized those who tried to shield the famous couple from any negative comments.
In conclusion, Will Smith’s slapping incident at the Oscars has ignited a wave of controversy and divided opinions.
While some sympathize with Smith, others, like Megyn Kelly, have been critical of his actions.
Similarly, Kelly has not shied away from expressing her disapproval of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, even during their highly publicized interview.
The clash of perspectives continues to fuel debates and discussions surrounding these high-profile individuals.
