Jaden Smith speaks in favor of his father, Will Smith, who smacked Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. The 23 year old singer tweeted:
“And That’s How We Do It.”
He also tweeted the following but has now deleted it:
‘My Dads Speech Made Me Cry.’
These tweets by Jaden Smith combined with Will’s actions have caused a lot of controversy. According to some people what Will did is completely right. And Jaden Smith’s support to his father is the perfect thing to do.
On the other hand, people from the industry as well as some others believe that the situation could have been handled better. They think that Will shouldn’t have slapped Chris Rock in front of everyone no matter what. They also think that Jaden Smith should not be supporting this kind of behavior. Its not like these people think what Rock did was okay. But they also think that Will could have handled the situation maturely and explained the autoimmune disorder, alopecia, that Jade has.

Will went back to his seat after slapping Rock and shouted loudly in an angry tone. He screamed: ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.’
In an attempt to calm the situation and explain himself, Rock said: ‘Wow, dude, it was a G.I. Jane joke.’
