Publisher's summary

USA Today lauded Will Smith for his memoir saying, "Will Smith isn't holding back in his bravely inspiring new memoir...." Not holding back in his memoir may be great. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his contribution to the Oscars Slapgate 2022; Will should have held back.

Though entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey boasted of Will Smith's memoir, stating, "It's the best memoir I've ever read," we don't hear her saying, "That's the best response to a joke I've ever seen."

The number one New York Times best-selling author of Will and the star of the acclaimed film King Richard is now the number one subject of global criticism and scrutiny because of a slap.

Will Smith's slap, heard around the globe during the 2022 Oscars, was an initiation of media frenzy. From meme's to monologues, and podcasts to protests, the noise is as massive as the globe itself.

Unfortunately, a night that would have been monumental with a number of firsts and unique contributions was turned into a memory of confusion, assault, and (to some degree) scandal. How could a moment of such high value and recognition be stripped of its glory and be reduced to a remembrance of hostility? How is it that a monumental achievement for Will Smith will now be clouded by a moment of lapse in judgment?

The answers to these questions are solidly fixed within the actions of Will Smith. They are obvious, though many may look smooth over them or not know how to recognize them. This small book is going make them clear for you.

One thing is for sure. If you judge Will Smith's slap as distasteful, disrespectful, and many other adjectives, just be sure you learn from it so you don't feel the same effects of it in your life.
