After Will Smith’s beating at the Oscars, the famous American radio host Howard Allan Stern commented: Will Smith has a big psychological problem and is too easy to lose control of his emotions.
Some foreign netizens also mentioned that his “open marriage” with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and his father who was abusive had negatively affected his psychology.
Looking back at the Oscar beating video, Will Smith was also amused by Chris Rock’s jokes at the beginning.
After seeing Jada Pinkett Smith’s eyes rolling, Rock immediately adjusted his thoughts and added, “This is a joke, I think it’s good (don’t be angry)”.
But Jada Pinkett Smith was still angry. Seeing his wife was unhappy, his mood changed from joy to anger, and he slapped Rock in front of the stage.
In the eyes of outsiders, Will Smith is a “wife protector”.

The Smiths did not attend the ceremony, Jada Pinkett Smith was not nominated because Will Smith was filming “Collateral Beauty” in New York at the time.
Chris Rock said in his opening remarks: “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like I boycotting Rihanna’s panties, I wasn’t invited.
“Jada is angry that her husband’s “Concussion” wasn’t nominated, I understand. You’re angry because Will played so well and didn’t get nominated. It’s unfair. Yes, but Will played “Wild Wild West” back then. “It’s not fair to get paid $20 million [for a bad movie at the box office].”
A source close to the Smiths told “People” that Jada was very angry at the joke at the time and still holds it up to this day.
After the Oscars ended that year, some media asked Jada for his response, and the other party said, “Listen, everyone has their own territory, so let’s just let it pass.”
Will Smith, who was filming the film “Collateral Beauty” in New York, smiled and made a peaceful gesture when asked by the media about the controversy.

Jada clarified on the show that she didn’t need Will Smith’s permission as the two split briefly at the time. At that time, the two felt that they might be separated for a long time, and they both wanted to find new “happiness”.
In this interview, Will Smith asked his wife about this extramarital affair. Jada thought it was just an ordinary emotional entanglement at first, but Will Smith decided it was a relationship, and Jada had to admit it.
