The video of Will Smith and Margot Robbie in a bus has left Reddit tizzy. The video shows the latter showing Robbie’s Suicide Squad co-star and friends in a deep fake picture. In response to the video, netizens have taken to social media to express their disgust. User u/Actuals uploaded the video today to the Public Freakout Reddit page. The seven-minute clip shows Smith showing a group of people, including a deep fake of Margot Robbie, where she is seen in a compromised position. While Robbie attempts to diffuse the situation, the I Am Legend actor can be seen laughing at the picture and eliciting the same reaction from others. The image also unsurprisingly caused some people to look extremely disturbed and shocked. Will Smith has since been criticized on Reddit for being a “hypocrite” and an “inappropriate.” Despite the picture being a deep fake, netizens did not like the fact that Will Smith made his co-star uncomfortable. Especially after punching comedian Chris Rock in the face for making light of Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia at the Oscars.
Despite fans’ expectations, the 54-year-old actor seems disrespectful towards all women. There was an endless stream of criticism directed at Will Smith on Reddit by several internet users. If it was a fake of Will’s wife, what would he have done? wrote one user. As another user pointed out: Yeah, I wonder how celebrities react to deep fakes, and honestly, it’s funny to see them all just laughing about it behind closed doors. However, it is hard to believe Will of all people wouldn’t be a hypocrite about it. The Star magazine accused Smith of cheating on his wife with Focus co-star Margot Robbie in 2013. Several social media platforms went viral with pictures of the couple in a photo booth. There was, however, a quick debunking of the rumours. According to a source at E! News, the production company commissioned the photos, and the “cast and crew” were well aware that they were being taken. As well, they clarified that Will and Margot are merely friends. In a Marie Claire interview two years after the photos went viral, Robbie said she would never date an actor because of the public scrutiny it involves.
