“Comparing Will Smith and Letitia Wright to a whole abuser is nasty”: Brad Pitt Shown No Mercy For His Abusive Relationship With Angelina Jolie, Fans say Will Smith and Letitia Wright are the Lesser Evil
The Hollywood Reports released a list of contenders whose offscreen behaviors may affect their chances of winning an award. The report included names like Brad Pitt, Roman Polanski, and Woody Allen. However, fans were shocked to see Will Smith and Letitia Wright in the report. While Brad Pitt was accused by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie of physically assaulting her, Will Smith was on the list for his actions at the 94th Academy Awards.
Letitia Wright was on the report due to her anti-vax controversy. This did not go well with their fans and they started calling out the website. Fans are saying that comparing Smith and Wright’s behavior with an alleged abuser is not the right thing to do.
Why Are Will Smith and Letitia Wright on This Report?
The Hollywood Reporter released a report mentioning some names who might not shine in the award season due to their off-screen behavior. The list includes names with some serious allegations, including abuse and sexual assault.
However, Will Smith made it to the list due to his behavior at the 2022 Oscars. He slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the 94th Academy Awards. The report mentioned that the King Richard star refused to leave the ceremony and went on partying after accepting the award for the best actor.
As for Letitia Wright, the report mentioned her involvement with the anti-vax conspiracy. The Black Panther star faced criticism after she re-tweeted an anti-vax conspiracy video in 2020. It was also reported that Wright promoted anti-vax views while working on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Fans Believe Will Smith and Letitia Wright Should Not be Grouped with Brad Pitt
Fans are not happy after the article grouped Will Smith and Letitia Wright with Brad Pitt along with other individuals. They started calling out the report saying that Brad Pitt is accused of a far worse crime than slapping. They also claimed that having Letitia Wright in the report also does not make any sense.
This is why we need to stop letting these white institutions and publications validate us. They don’t value us

Grouping Letitia Wright with men accused of sexual assault and A MAN WHO COMITTED ASSAULT ON NATIONAL TV is disgusting and revolting.

For now, Will Smith has not responded to the report. But Letitia Wright has called out The Hollywood Reporter for including her in the report. The Silent Twins star shared a note on her Instagram story saying that it was disrespectful to include her name with men who were accused of abuse and sexual misconduct.
Others named in the report have some serious allegations against them. Brad Pitt is accused of assaulting his wife and two of his kids. Filmmakers Roman Polanski and Woody Allen and actor Casey Affleck have been accused of sexual assault.
