“Not watching” – Fans Are Quite Unhappy With Will Smith Appearing on Trevor Noah’s Show Months After Oscar Fiasco
Fans have some strong reactions to Will Smith’s interview with Trevor Noah. The actor came under heavy scrutiny after the Oscars night. No one expected Will Smith to go up on the stage and slap Chris Rock for making fun of Jada Smith’s hair. The act of violence from an A-list celebrity on an Oscar night not only got him banned from the awards for a decade but also attracted immense criticism.
The actor is trying to move on from the incident and is now making appearances to promote his big-budgeted movie Emancipation. In the latest, the 54-year-old gave an interview on The Daily Show, but fans were not very keen on it, as evident from the reactions.
