Although it has been 2 years since the American Will Smith slaps comedian Chris Rock during the gala Oscar Awards, the actor continues to suffer the consequences of his aggressive reaction and now it is his pocket that is affected.
The 55-year-old artist was forced to close his Will & Jada Smith Family foundation, which he founded in 1997 to support various causes such as education and health. All this due to a lack of donors that led her to receive more than two million dollars in 2021 and less than 400 thousand dollars in 2022, just in the year that she showed a face that no one liked, not even the investors who had business with him.
Although it may sound strange, this could have favored the Smiths, since according to the media, they planned to close it in 2021 to continue carrying out their function in a more private way. In the same way, the foundation is said to have had dubious payments like one of 3 thousand dollars in bank overdraft fees or more than 25 thousand of the green ones donated to mental health institutions that no longer existed.
However, this does not affect Will’s career, who continues working on big screen projects, and has already been able to overcome not being able to attend the renowned ceremony due to a 10-year sanction imposed by the Academy. After what happened, he released “Empancipation,” and now he is working on “Bad Boys 4” and the sequel to “I’m Legend.”
On the night of March 27, 2022, The protagonist of ‘The Fresh Prince of Rap’ hit Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about his alopecia Jada Pinkett Smith, ex-partner of the actor. Rock had stated that Pinkett could have participated in the sequel to Lieutenant O’Neil now that she is shaved.
After that, he apologized to his colleague and the public: “I am deeply sorry and I am trying to be sorry without being ashamed of myself.” To Rock, he said: “I’m here when you’re ready to talk.”
