I always thought the slap was well scripted. The academy had been steadily losing viewership in previous years. If one were to look closely at Will’s facial expression when he left the stage, and Jada’s 1st reaction, they might come to a different conclusion. I’m very skeptical about what comes out of Hollywood. They’re kings of creating false narratives for self serving purposes. What better way for them to gain more attention than black on black violence during a nationally/internationally recognized rewards show? I still think it was disgraceful either way. And, I’m not convinced Will Smith is suffering because of it one bit. Just my two cents.😉
