Willow Smith defends dad Will’s ‘humanness’ after Chris Rock slap
Willow Smith defended the now-infamous moment her father, Will Smith, slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, saying it is human nature to make mistakes.
“I see my whole family as being human, and I love and accept them for all their humanness,” the “Maybe It’s My Fault” singer, 21
“Because the position that we’re in, our humanness sometimes isn’t accepted, and we’re expected to act in a way that isn’t conducive to a healthy human life.”
Will, 53, shocked the world in March when he smacked Rock, 57, on stage at the Academy Awards after the comedian made a joke about the “King Richard” star’s wife
After the incident, the famous family faced an onslaught of scrutiny, which Willow said did not impact her as much as her “own internal demons.”
Willow’s comments come a week after her dad took to social media to issue yet another apology for his “unacceptable” behavior.
Although the Smith family has continued to open up about the incident, Rock made it clear he is not ready to sit down with the “Fresh Price of Bel-Air” star
