In the unpredictable world of Hollywood, one career shines while the other dims at almost every moment. The number of talented actors who have faced the wrath of the public and ultimately been shunned by the industry itself due to a tiny slip-up is numerous. While the most recent and loud example would be Will Smith and the Oscar debacle, Zoë Kravitz and her 'accident' does not fall far.

A discussion about the reign of Zoë Kravitz as Cat Woman made way for the 'Zoë Kravitz accident' to trend, and Jaden Smith seemed to be a central figure amidst the discourse. But what is this all about?

The last time that Zoë Kravitz was seen in the Batverse was in 2022 when she played Cat Woman in the live-action blockbuster, The Batman alongside Robert Pattinson. Despite there being no official announcement regarding the same, fans are convinced that she will not be playing the iconic role again. And all this brouhaha is a curtsy of statements she made about Jaden Smith when he was fourteen.

It all started when Kravitz sarcastically and shadily called out Will Smith for his controversial slap. While many saw no wrong in this and even appreciated the actress for speaking up, others dug some dirt on her. This, given the iron-clad army that Will Smith has, who still defends his honor, did not come as much of a surprise. The actress, in a 2013 interview with V Magazine had said, "When you’re older, you know, we’ll hangout…Nope, that’s inappropriate, you’re 14."

While the evidence that surfaced after Zoë Kravitz's statements regarding Will Smith may have been a revenge response, that her behavior was problematic is undeniable. To further assist this claim is the fact that has been long-time friends with Alexander Wang, the allegations against whom range substantially higher as time goes by.

 Whether Kravitz had anything to do with the matter is unclear, but it is the silence that she has displayed that irks the audience. Moreover, the statements about Jaden Smith have also not aged well since the actress has not apologized to them.
