Facing the future. After receiving major backlash for slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, Will Smith is worried about what will happen to his career from here.“He feels terrible and is trying not to panic, but seeing his roles put on ice has been a hugely bitter pill to swallow,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.According to the insider, “His biggest fear is that he’s in the process of being fully canceled, and there’s nothing he can really do about it except sit back, suck up his punishment like a man and try to atone however he can.”Smith, 53, made headlines for his altercation with Rock, 57, at the 94th annual Academy Awards on March 27.

While presenting an award, the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith appearing in G.I. Jane 2 because of her shaved head.

Pinkett Smith, 50, who has alopecia, rolled her eyes before the King Richard star approached the stage and slapped Rock on camera.“Will Smith just smacked the s—t out of me,” the South Carolina native said in uncensored footage that later appeared online.

After Smith walked back to his seat, he yelled for Rock to “keep my wife’s name out your f—king mouth.”Later that night, the Philadelphia native seemed to address the incident while accepting the best actor award for his performance in King Richard. “I’m being called on in my life to love people and to protect people and to be a river to my people.
