Willow Smith speaks out about the slap her father Will Smith gave Chris Rock at the Oscars

______________________________

It turns out that the famous slap in the face at this year’s Oscars did not shock the 21-year-old Willow Smith as much as one might expect. The singer accepts the mistakes of her parents and appreciates their humanity, and at the moment she is more worried about her own demons than the mistakes of her famous father, she told about this in a new interview with Billboard. Willow noted that she perfectly understands why it is difficult for the public to see an ordinary person with their own shortcomings in a world-famous movie star.

I look at my family as ordinary people, I love them and accept their humanity,” she said, “But because of the position we occupy, our humanity is not taken seriously. We are expected to behave in ways that are not conducive to healthy human life and integrity.

Recall that after Smith hit host Chris Rock during an inappropriate joke about his wife and mother Willow Jada during the Oscar ceremony, many viewers and Hollywood colleagues harshly condemned him. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also noted that violence in any form is unacceptable, and banned Smith from nomination for the award for ten years. Will Smith himself apologized twice. Once immediately after the incident, when he received an Oscar for his role in the film “King Richard”, and the second – publicly on social networks, making a statement.

Chris Rock himself spoke out for the first time – during his stand-up show, he could not help but touch on the remorse of his offender. In his monologue, the comedian compared Smith to the former head of Death Row Records, Suge Knight, who liked to dissolve his hands in vain, for which he eventually paid the price and was sentenced to 28 years in prison.
