The Shady Side Of Will Smith

It's one of those rare pop culture moments the whole world is talking about: At the 2022 Academy Awards, Will Smith took issue with a joke from host Chris Rock, so he walked up to him on stage and slapped him across the face. Rock was poking fun at Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, comparing it to Demi Moore's in "G.I. Jane," which went too far for Will, considering Jada has alopecia. The "slap heard 'round the world" has people digging into Smith's past to uncover if he's ever behaved like this before, and the results are interesting, to say the least. This is the shady side of Will Smith. #WillSmith #Shady #Actor Wrath of the IRS | 0:00 Jealous of Tupac | 1:21 Investigated by child services | 2:34 A history of homophobia | 3:52 Will Smith's mugshot | 5:04 Falling in love with a co-star | 6:19 An emotional affair | 7:24 A harem of 20 women | 8:37 Shade at Slim Shady | 9:47 A feeling of abandonment | 10:56 A prank gone wrong | 12:07 The feuding gets ugly | 13:17 Shouting match at NBC | 14:36 The Slap | 15:41
