Will Smith: His reputation has been swallowed up after the slap at the Oscars  

A Variety report reveals that he is not among Hollywood’s favorite faces

All indications are that not even the 5-minute video of his new public apology can save Will Smith’s reputation, as his infamous slap to comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars ceremony seems to have seriously damaged his reputation.

A new report from Variety reveals the new celebrity Q Scores that quantify the fame and how strong the “glow” of Hollywood stars is, only Will Smith is no longer among the most famous, while he was once among the most beloved people of the audience along with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.  

Despite all these recent efforts to raise his public profile public opinion has turned against the Oscar-winning actor, whose “popularity score” has sunk from 39 to 24, meaning just 24% of respondents they had a positive view of Smith. 

For the validity of the actors’ Q Score it is sufficient to mention that they played a role in the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in order to determine whether they had damaged each other’s reputations. 

For those who don’t know, among the darkest moments in Oscars history – according to many – is when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock live during the 94th Awards Ceremony. The incident took place after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife,  Jada Pinkett-Smith. 

As she suffers from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that causes severe hair loss, Pinkett-Smith didn’t like the joke, prompting Will Smith to get out of his chair and slap Rock, freezing both the audience and the millions of people in attendance. who was watching the event. 

Since then Smith’s career has not been at its best with projects such as  Bad Boys 4  and  Apple ‘s ” Emancipation” being delayed. At the same time, he has been banned from the Academy for the next 10 years.
