Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars: Megyn Kelly Compares Him to Meghan Markle

Will Smith, the Hollywood actor, made headlines at the 94th Academy Awards for his first-ever Best Actor Oscar win for his role in King Richard.

However, his achievement was overshadowed by a controversial incident that occurred during the event.

Smith slapped host Chris Rock in the face after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia.

Smith took to the stage after the slap and apologized for his actions, blaming them on having to take abuse in the acting industry.

He cried as he accepted the award for Best Actor.

However, American broadcaster Megyn Kelly slammed Smith's speech, comparing him to Meghan Markle.

Kelly told Dan Wooten, “I put him in the same boat as I put Meghan Markle with her whining and crying about how hard it is to be a princess.

You're probably one of the top three biggest stars in the world, do I give two figs about whether somebody is saying something not nice about you or how it's hard to stand the barbs that come your way?”

Despite Smith's apology to Chris Rock, the Academy announced that they were investigating the incident, with possible sanctions against Smith still possible.

Ms. Kelly believes the slapping incident was all about himself.

She said, “I thought it was more about him making the moment about himself.

What would a real man genuinely angry about that moment do?”

Prior to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, conservative journalist Meghan Kelly shared her ruthless take on their royal fallout.

Ahead of their sit-down, Kelly re-shared a post on Twitter reading, “I look forward to watching a billionaire question two millionaires on how hard it's been leaving billionaires, to continue being millionaires.

Thoughts and prayers to Harry and Meghan in this difficult time, as they adapt to new staff and a new mansion.

Hashtag Harry and Meghan and Oprah,” clearly letting everyone know ahead of time where she stands.

During the interview, Meghan Markle revealed that she felt suicidal, no one would help her, they let the press eat her alive, and the royal family was racist against her baby.

Despite their claims, Kelly went on to slam Meghan for presenting herself as naive.

She wrote, “Omg.

Meghan says she felt like the little mermaid who fell in love with a prince and lost her voice.

I'm sure it was indeed a shock to learn someone else would be in charge in the British royal family.”

Following Meghan Markle's shocking interview, Meghan Kelly did not let up as she bashed the couple for using their name and likeness for personal gain after they were financially cut off by the royal family.

She also suggested Meghan didn't take any responsibility for her own role in the fallout.

Kelly wrote, “Meghan's only regret is believing the royals that they would protect her and Harry.

So she made no mistakes other than failing to realize how bad the royals are.”

Kelly slammed the duo for victimizing themselves, claiming they pretend that no royal has had it worse in the press than they have.

She added, “give me a break.

Have you ever seen such privileged people wallowing in their own perceived victimhood like this?

Everyone victimizes Meghan.

Everyone.

The palace.

The press.

Even her dad, who had no money, no clue, and was swept up in a whirlwind of press he had zero understanding of how to handle, he too is a villain.

She is, again, the victim.

It never stops.”

Of course, Kelly's remarks garnered a lot of criticism, but she said she could take the heat.

She also criticized the paternalistic worksters trying to protect this famous millionaire/billionaire pair, who chose to go on TV, saying they were fully capable of taking a few bobs.

She added, “Grow up.”

In conclusion, Will Smith's actions at the Oscars have caused a stir in the entertainment industry, with some people criticizing him and others defending him.

Similarly, Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah has sparked a lot of debate and controversy, with some people sympathizing with her and others criticizing her.

Despite the different opinions, it is clear that both incidents have captured the attention of the public and will continue to be discussed for some time.
