&#8220;He&#8217;s a very even people person&#8221; &#8211; Will Smith&#8217;s mother admits to being shocked with the Oscars Slapgate but refuses to judge him for that

Usually, controversies die down with time. But it does not seem to be true for
Will Smith, as his actions at the Oscars will still take time for people to
forget. A year later and the Oscars fiasco is still the most talked about event.
People have strong opinions about the actor. Some detest him for his actions,
whereas some have come in support of the actor. 



Even though the world turned on him, Smith always knew he could trust his
family. Although his family refrained from making any comments in the past,
recently his mother and sister shared their feelings about that incident.

CAROLYN SMITH LENDS HER FULL SUPPORT TO HER SON WILL SMITH; INSISTS HE IS A GOOD
MAN

Carolyn Smith, the mother of Will Smith, was stunned sitting at her Philadelphia
home on the night of the Oscars. She was anticipating the moment her son would
receive the highest award for his work in the industry, but the altercation

She insisted that her son has worked hard to achieve all that he has now. 



Will’s sister Ellen Smith reiterated her mother. Talking about her famous
brother Ellen revealed the heartfelt conversations she had with her brother. She
was aware of the trials and tribulations I Am Legend star had to go through to
make it to the top. The family was proud of his win and thought he deserved it
all. Everyone has a struggle story, and so did the 54-year-old, but he
persevered and it paid off. 

The Hollywood bigwig had slapped Chris Rock on the night of the Oscars

because he had made a joke about Jada Pinkett’s alopecia. His mean joke led to
an altercation between the two on live TV. Although the Men in Black actor has
apologized and reached out to Rock, the latter is keeping him at bay.
