Will Smith and his life have always been a topic of discussion among people. And now that the Oscars are near, the actor will once again make headlines. Who can ever forget the infamous “Slapgate” incident that happened last year on the stage of the world’s most prestigious film awards? When the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star slapped Chris Rock, the repercussions will be felt for years to come.

 The King Richard actor has sure done a lot of hit films in his career, but one thing he failed to do was maintain good relationships with the women he had in his life. About two years ago, in an interview, he talked about how he turned down every woman who came into his life.

In November 2021, the 53-year-old actor appeared in an episode of the prestigious Oprah show, ‘The Oprah Conversation’.

He opened up about how, just a few months into his marriage with his first wife, Sheree Zampino, he fell in love with his Six Degrees of Separation co-star, Stockard Channing. This was when he already shared a child, Trey, with Zampino. The marriage did not work out and ended after only three years.

And that is the main reason he believed he failed all the women he interacted with. The two women Smith claims to not have failed are his grandmother and his daughter Willow.
