Fans of Will Smith revolt as haters oppose the release of Emancipation by the actor following the slapgate

Fans Take to Twitter on Will Smith&#8217;s Statements on Emancipation, &#8220;bottled rage&#8221;, and Oscars Slap

Will Smith has been breaching top headlines for the whole year. Right from the
infamous Oscar slap, every news update on the King Richard star automatically
makes its way back to back to the incident that happened in March. The star is
now all set to make his next comeback in the industry with the movie
Emancipation [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wafyhTpWpUs]. However, it seems
the world still has not recovered from his slapgate.

The action thriller, which is scheduled for release on 9th October, is based on
the treacherous life of a runaway slave. Depicting the untold stories of
millions of such slaves, Will Smith portrays the life of Peter. It is the
journey of how he tries to escape the cold-blooded killers and the forbidden
swamps of Louisiana. 


FANS FIGHT BACK AS HATERS AND CRITIQUES CAUSE HINDRANCE TO WILL SMITH STARRER
EMANCIPATION 

A plot of such suspense and thriller, however, could not convince some viewers
to spare the actor of indignation. Owing to the same, the actor recently
released a statement [https://netflixjunkie.com/?p=74731&preview=true] that
read, he “completely understands” if some people still are not accepting of his
comeback into the industry. Fans, on the other hand, have been outraged by the
criticism of Smith’s stance. A bunch of them took to Twitter to justify their
support against people who have not left their mistakes behind.

A fan reportedly called out the critics who have been dodging bigger blunders in
the industry. It has allegedly claimed how other terrible people in Hollywood
have continued to work regardless of their mistakes. Will Smith has at least
acknowledged his mistake and apologized for it, said the tweet. The thread has a
whole list of supporters who tried their best to uphold the integrity of the
star. Needless to say, the number of haters was equally enthusiastic about
defaming the actor.

“I’m so tired of the continued bashing and demeaning of this man…” said another
fan.
