Will Smith has reportedly been going to therapy, so that he can recover from his slapgate incident at the Oscars.
Will Smith Enters Therapy To Help Him Recover From Slapgate But Fans Are Not Convinced-‘LOL Therapy For Slapping…Is Crazy’
The actor has received mass condemnation across social media after having lashed out at Chris Rock simply because the latter had made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss.
And in order to rehabilitate himself back into the public fold, it seems that Will has been taking extra steps to make that happen. This first started when he was pictured in India on a surprise vacation, which was allegedly done on the basis of spiritual purposes.
If these comments are taken to be true, then they are very significant for the following reasons. First of all, the idea of Will going to therapy could be seen as a way for him to gain some positive public press in the hope that it will demonstrate he has shown remorse.
Secondly, the idea of therapy would also indicate that perhaps Will’s mental health is not in a good place. Therefore, the chances of him coming back to the acting profession anytime soon is a far way off.
Irrespective of that, there is the obvious question of whether the fans will believe that Will has reformed. And this is going to be something very difficult to convince them of.
A source remarked: “Will’s “spiritual journey” to India for yoga and meditation seems cynical and ridiculous, given that he hasn’t apologized personally to the one person he assaulted in front of millions.
“No amount of Namastes will make up for that.” And this was the sentiment being expressed on social media. A significant proportion of people slammed the concept of Will getting help, as a mere publicity stunt.
One person wrote: “LOL therapy for slapping ANOTHER n***a is crazy.” Will certainly has a lot to prove before the public ever accepts him again. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this?
