This was provoked by Chris Rock making a joke about Jada Smith. This is an old story but I wanted to talk about how Will Smith handled it. Not really the slap part, but the aftermath. Will Smith was silent for 8 months after the slap, then came out with a terrible &#8220;apology&#8221; video. This is a common thing to see on the internet. An &#8220;influencer&#8221; does something wrong, then they make the most unbelievable and unremorseful apology video you could ever imagine. Whenever this happens it leaves a terrible stain on the person&#8217;s carrier. And Will Smith did a little oopsie and followed up after everyone forgot about it. 8 months is a long time in internet time and the &#8220;apology&#8221; was long over due. If you notice I put the word apology in quotations, because it doesn&#8217;t seem that Will Smith is sorry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WILL SMITH IS FORGIVING HIMSELF FOR \u201cBEING HUMAN,\u201d EIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE SLAP https:\/\/www.mic.com\/culture\/will-smith-slap-trevor-noah-emancipation I&#8217;m sure I don&#8217;t need to explain this, but Will Smith went on stage and slapped Chris Rock across the face at the oscars.
