Has it ever happened to you that you reacted in the heat of the moment and that became your entire identity from that point in time? No matter how hard you try to explain it to people or whatever good you’ve done before that, nothing matters then because that reaction has exposed your vulnerable side to the people. Now, just imagine any celebrity. Their entire life is so publicly exposed that one impatient move can destroy their career and their prestigious name. But there are several fans who understand the situation and love their favorites the same. We have highlighted such a reaction to Will Smith. Look what they had to say.
That Awkward moment when Will Smith…
David Letterman’s 2022 roster of guests included Will Smith, and the trolls were abuzz since then. After the Chris Rock slap disaster, Smith has been facing a little more vigorous reactions from around the world. Netflix too decided to disassociate from the actor and Letterman’s show too had a certain disclaimer at the beginning of the Will Smith episode: “this was filmed prior to the 2022 Academy Awards Ceremony.”

While some fans sympathized with Will, this act enraged others.
David Letterman's show put a disclaimer at the start of the Will Smith episode. They should've just said "this was recorded before the hollywood blacklist memo went out"

No one is one moment!
Vulnerability makes people do unexpected things, things that they never thought they could do in their wildest dreams. Will Smith’s fans seem to believe this statement and they expressed their sentiments differently.
Smith fans do not agree with the need to put disclaimer as they believe that this incident doesn’t define him as a person.
Not them putting a disclaimer on this episode of David letterman’s “my next guest” with Will Smith, that it was taped before the Oscar’s 🙄
