What happened on the Oscars stage clearly divided audiences, but most importantly, it had serious career ramifications Will Smith. The actor, as he himself explained, would have made this very ugly gesture just to defend his wife’s honor. But as they say, now an insult could even be added to the damage: it seems so Jada Pinkett has decided to get away from Will and even file for divorce.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett: Divorce in sight?
The indiscretion created by Heat Magazine can only leave everyone speechless. Will Smith and Jada have always seemed to be a very close and bonded couple, albeit under conditions that have often struck many as odd. Now something may have broken, and the triggering event appears to be the now-famous slap Smith gave comedian Chris Rock during the ceremony Presentation of the Oscars 2022. An impulsive and absolutely wrong gesture, for which the actor has apologized many times and which has cost him 10-year expulsion from the Academy.
However, the impact of this event did not end here: probably, it will still bear the consequences in his career, which had reached its peak in recent years. And perhaps his private life suffers a lot as a result. In fact, it’s rumored that his wife, Jada Pinkett, intends to ask about it divorce. As an anonymous source tells the English magazine, the two have even stopped talking to each other. “Since the Oscar scandal, tensions between them have become palpable. For years there have been problems, but now they hardly speak”- reads on heat.
So divorce in sight. And certainly not the easiest: rumor has it it could get very complicated and painful for everyone involved. “If they separate Will has a net worth of $350 million half of which Jada would be entitled to under California law. It could end up being one of the ugliest divorces in showbiz history, elongating more than that in between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt”- revealed the magazine. And again, rumors have it that the actor wouldn’t agree at all: “He doesn’t want to do this, but there’s a limit to what he can take.”
Will Smith, the relationship with Jada
After divorcing his first wife, Will Smith fell in love with her Jada Pinkett: The two married in 1997 and had two wonderful children, Jaden and Willow. But it wasn’t always a happy atmosphere between them. Between misunderstandings and betrayal, both have repeatedly spoken about their marriage down to the most intimate details. But always with a happy ending. This time The collapse seems inevitable, despite what Jada herself only recently revealed. The actress had actually left a quick social message to explain what was going on at the Smith home.
On Facebook, Pinkett wrote to Chris Rock after Will’s slap in the face: “In light of what has happened over the past few weeks, the Smith family is focused on a deep healing“. Perhaps the path was not successful. Although the news of the divorce between the two spouses was not absolutely confirmed (nor denied) by those directly affected, the leaks they become more and more insistent.
