How much will Oscar scandal cost Will Smith?
According to the Hollywood media, Smith will lose a huge amount of money related to film and TV projects due to Oscar incident.
Will Smith will lose a lot of money due to the slap at the Oscars.
Will Smith slapped Chris Rock less than a week ago, and in that short time his life turned upside down - police was ready to arrest him, and he had to resign from the Academy and may still be stripped of his Oscar.
According to the Hollywood media, Smith will lose a huge amount of money related to film and TV projects due to this incident. The actor won the Oscar for the film "King Richard", the last one he "kicked out", but he had big plans for this year, which now, apparently, will not be realized.
First of all, there is a new sequel to the very successful "Bad Boys" franchise. Smith was supposed to shoot the fourth part almost three decades after the first film, which put him on the "map" of action heroes, so to speak. The previous part, which came out in 2020, earned almost half a billion dollars, more than the first two combined.
In February, the house "Disney" announced that Will will be sent on a trip around the world for the series "Pole to pole" in co-production with "National Geography".
Smith's films, feature or animated, have grossed a total of nine billion dollars so far. An outburst at the Oscars will most likely cost Smith millions of dollars in canceled or delayed projects.

Let us remind you, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Jada has been dealing with alopecia for quite some time now, and although she mentioned many, many times that she made a peace with it, Will was triggered enough to make a scandal.
Comedian Chris Rock made his first public appearance after being slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars. The comedian said in Boston, where he is touring, that he is still trying to understand what happened.
The audience in Boston greeted Rock with applause, and he denied the information of some media that he talked to Smith after the incident. The organizers of the Oscars revealed that Smith was asked to leave the ceremony after the slap, but the actor refused.
