COULD WILL SMITH'S TALENT AGENCY DROP HIM AFTER HIS OSCAR WIN?
By EMILY HUTCHINSON
Will Smith headed on stage and slapped Chris Rock in the face during the 2022 Oscars. Just in case you need a refresher, Will lost it with the comedian after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, quipping that he couldn't wait to see her in the sequel to "G.I. Jane."
Smith may have to say goodbye to his talent agency, Creative Artists Agency, following the slap. According to reports, the business is divided over how to handle the situation and move forward, with The Daily Beast claiming that decisions were made about potentially dropping the actor.
It's alleged that one of the heads of the business was all for dropping Will from the roster, while the agent who personally looked after Will wanted to keep him. However, a rep for the company denied the talks ever even happened, hitting back, "There is no truth to any of it. Simply never happened."
While claims differ regarding Will's agency's take on the aftermath, we do know Will could struggle to get his career back on track. It's been alleged that Will's upcoming Netflix project "Fast and Loose" has taken a backseat, while "Bad Boys 4" has reportedly been put on pause.
