“That was a horrific night, as you can imagine,” Will Smith told Trevor Noah. “There’s many nuances and complexities to it, but at the end of the day, I just, I lost it.”
Smith spent his remarkable 30-year career building toward Sunday’s Oscars triumph. With a single, impulsive act, he turned it into a moment of shame.Noah cited Smith’s 2021 memoir in which he discussed how he grew up afraid of conflict and afraid to fight, and described the Oscars slap as a moment when Smith stood up for the wrong thing at the wrong time.
“It was a mess. You know, I don’t want to go too far into it to give people more to misunderstand,” he added. The “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum said he spent the last couple of months trying to forgive himself “for being human.”
