When Will Smith took a leap of faith and stomped up on stage to slap revered comedian Chris Rock in 2022, the gamut of reactions ranged from shocked Pikachu memes to a fervent debate on the ethical correctness of the actor’s action. However, what connected these two sides is their disbelief in the entire ordeal because of their belief in who Will Smith is. The very boy from Philadelphia who practiced social distancing with profanities even before it became a thing. Fans were surprised at the streak of impulsiveness in him out of the blue. But the signs had always been there, we just failed to see.

The 54-year-old basked in the glory of his hard-earned reputation over the years before it cracked in 2022. Fans loved him for who he was. And who he was is clear through his various Instagram posts from a top of a skyscraper or under the sea. However, impulsive decisions when it comes to multi-million dollar worth celebrities such as Will Smith are treated as a drive for adventure. This is just the category under which Will Smith’s joke about selling his Calabasas home worth $42 home because of a spider came under. In his defense, it was a very big spider.

As soon as he returned to his big boy Instagram account with over 63.2 Million followers, he posted a video of himself with his son Trey Smith. More specifically, a video of himself standing on a chair, hand on his heart, horror in his eyes, prayer on his lips as he saw what he describes as a “big a** spider,”.

Smith found help in his eldest son, Trey Smith. He supported his claim about the spider in question being the biggest he had ever seen. Akin to how Jaden Smith penned a subtle pat on the back for his father after the Oscar 2022 incident. Savage and secretive.

The actor ends the video with a “we are selling the house” note. For all the reasons fans imagined Will Smith would be selling his house after the slap gate, a spider was not one of them. The caption of the video read “Posting this from a Holiday Inn“. And we are just wondering how Jada Pinkett Smith is reacting to this news. And surely we were able to find an answer on Red Table Talk.

The couple have been known to support each other’s decisions and even entanglements through the years. And to everyone’s surprise, Jada Pinkett Smith was on par with this too. In fact, the Red Table Talk account commented, “It’s HIS house now“. As for Smith’s other half, she wrote, “No more family dinners at the house for me“. But this is as far as jokes go.

Will Smith’s $42 Million worth of heaven on earth is not up for sale. At least until the “big a***” spider stays away from his sight. While the Smiths must have thanked God that the spider was gone, we remain thankful that Will Smith is DC’s Deadshot because things would be awkward with him and Spider-Man in Marvel.
