Will Smith fears he’s in the process of being “fully canceled” over his Oscars slap.
The King Richard actor has lost popularity since he very publicly slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made an insensitive remark about Jada Pinkett Smith, comparing her to G.I Jane.
The infamous slap is officially damaging Will Smith’s bank balance, a source close to the Smith’s said:
“He feels terrible and is trying not to panic, but seeing his roles put on ice has been a hugely bitter pill to swallow,”
“His biggest fear is that he’s in the process of being fully canceled, and there’s nothing he can really do about it except sit back, suck up his punishment like a man and try to atone however he can.”
The 53-year-old’s upcoming Netflix film Fast and Loose has reportedly slowed down production, as per the Hollywood Reporter.
The publication also reported that Smith was given the first 40 pages or so of Bad Boys 4 but the production has also been slowed for the time being.
The actor allegedly tried to justify his reaction to Rock by explaining why Rock’s joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head cause such a severe response – Jada has been open about her struggles with hair loss caused by alopecia.
Could this be the end of his career..?
