Will Smith’s Q Score Suffers Career-Shattering 15 Point Drop After Oscars Slap As Men In Black Star Prepares To Become Hollywood’s Next Amber Heard
The infamous Oscar slap has proved to be a setback for actor Will Smith as, since the incident, the actor’s popularity among the general public has dipped significantly. His Q score, particularly, has massively plunged as compared to the test result that was taken in January. The Q Score is a measurement of the familiarity and appeal of a brand, celebrity, company, or entertainment product used in the United States. In March 2022, comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head while hosting the Oscars. The joke was not liked by the actress or her husband. As a result, the actor then went up the stage and slapped the comedian for the same.
Will Smith’s popularity dropped in the United States
Actor Will Smith has witnessed a massive dip in his popularity in the United States as per the latest Q score. The actor’s positive Q score dropped from 39 to 24 and his negative score went up from 10 to 26. These changes indicate that the actor’s likability among the general public is now less than it once was. However, fans of the actor claim that the Q score doesn’t really affect celebrities anymore as social media is now another factor that determines popularity.
Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on-stage
Earlier this year, while hosting the 2022 Oscars, Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. Her husband, Will Smith, then went up to the stage and slapped the comedian, and ordered him to “keep my wife’s name out your fu**ing mouth.” The Hancock star was then given the Best Actor Oscar at the event. The comedian later said he was unaware of his wife’s medical condition. The actor then disappeared for a while after apologizing to the comedian for the slap on Twitter. All of his projects were delayed as the actor needed some time off.
The actor apologized for the slap
The actor apologized to Chris Rock on Twitter on the same day and also recently posted an apology video on his YouTube channel. He apologized to Chris Rock and his family in the video. Chris Rock recently revealed that he was offered to host the next Oscars but he declined it. The comedian did not acknowledge the actor’s apology for a very long time until recently as he called out Will Smith after Dave Chapelle asked him about the slap. He even said that the actor was wearing a “mask” all this time and is “just as ugly as the rest of us.”
