Will Smith is annoyed by wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s social media antics in an old video. In a short clip posted by Jada to promote show Red Table Talk, the mother-of-two is seen putting Will on the spot as she talks about their marital life. The video isgoing viral on Reddit.
“You know [therapist] Esther Perel is coming to the table — she’s gonna be at the ‘Red Table'” she says before panning the camera towards her husband: “Would you say she has been instrumental in you and I redefining our relationship?”
“I would say don’t just start filming me without asking me,” says Will.
Pinkett Smith then averts her eyes to tell fans that she is “still dealing with foolishness.” She continues unhinged: “Would you say that she [Perel] helped us heal the hurts that we caused between one another?”
Will responds: “My social media presence is my bread and butter. So you can’t just use me for social media. Don’t just start rolling; I’m standing in my house. Don’t start rolling.”
Fans, who could visibly spot Will’s discomfort, comment: “He [Smith] looks so uncomfortable.”
“He looks hella anxious like he knows Jada is going to provoke him and he’s afraid of how it will go down,” adds another.
The video comes after Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face for making fun of Jada’s Alopecia condition at the Oscars.

Will Smith banned from the academy for 10 years over Chris Rock slap

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has banned Will Smith from all Academy events for 10 years for slapping Chris Rock during this year’s show.
Will Smith is no longer allowed to “attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually,” for the next decade.
In a statement, the Academy said the 94th Oscars had been “overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behaviour we saw Mr Smith exhibit on stage”.
Smith has apologised for his actions and resigned from the Academy.
The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Science, which organises the awards ceremony, met virtually on Friday to discuss disciplinary action.
In its statement, it said banning Smith was aimed at protecting performers and guests and “restoring trust in the Academy”.
The Academy said that at the time of the slap it did not “adequately address the situation in the room” and had been “unprepared for the unprecedented”. It apologised for this.
It also thanked Rock for “maintaining his composure under extraordinary circumstances”.
The Academy’s disciplinary review over the incident, originally scheduled for 18 April, was fast-tracked after Smith resigned.
In his resignation statement, Smith said he had “betrayed the trust of the Academy” and was “heartbroken” over his actions.
He added he would “fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct”.
Beyond the Academy’s actions, at least two studios – Sony and Netflix – are pausing their projects with Smith.
Rock, who began his latest stand up comedy tour shortly after the Oscars telecast, has not commented publicly on the slap.
He told fans at a show last month that he is “still kind of processing what happened” and will talk about the incident “at some point”.
Will Smith accepts his decade-long ban from the Academy Awards.
Smith, 53, said in a statement via his rep, “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision.”

Will Smith projects faces threat amidst Oscars slap controversy

The backlash following the infamous slap Will Smith laid on Chris Rock at the Oscars continues. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has pushed back one of Smith’s upcoming films.
Netflix is backing away from Fast and Loose, set to “tell the story of a crime boss who loses his memory after an attack,” The Hollywood Reporter said Sunday. The project lost its director shortly before the Oscars. Netflix had “put out an urgent call for another director to take over” but appears to have moved the project to
the back burner after the incident, the website reports.
Additionally, Smith had received 40 pages of the script for Bad Boys 4 prior to the Oscars, but work on the movie will now pause, the website reported, citing an unnamed source.
As of now, Smith’s next starring role is in the film Emancipation, where the actor portrays a runaway slave who journey through Louisiana swamps to escape plantation owners. That Antoine Fuqua-directed movie, currently in post-production, was scheduled to premiere on Apple TV+ in 2022, but no release date has been
set yet.
According to IMDB, Smith – in the role of producer – still has plenty of projects on the horizon in various states of development, but the fate of those films and TV shows is now in flux following the fallout of Smith’s infamous Oscars moment.
On Friday, Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in a statement where he accepted “all consequences for my conduct.”
“My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable,” Smith wrote. “The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived
other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work.”
Smith continued, “I am heartbroken… Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
