Page Six reports that Will Smith, who has kept off the radar since the Oscars slap controversy, is currently in India and has been there since April 23. Multiple photos surfaced of Will posing with fans after landing in Mumbai, per Daily Mail. A source revealed to People that the purpose of the trip is restorative and spiritual, and that Will is committed to repairing the harm done. However, according to Page Six, some are questioning the intent behind the trip as the “King Richard” star allegedly has yet to apologize to Chris Rock in private.
Per Us Weekly, the trip was planned before the Oscars moment that will live on in infamy. In the face of this skepticism surrounding the trip, Jada Pinkett Smith is choosing to focus on the positive. The “Girls Trip” star turned to Instagram to share her current state of being. She posted a selfie where she is visibly glowing and captioned it, “Smile within your heart and be reminded that life is a gift and so are you.” The focus of this trip makes it clear the Smith family is doing their best to move on.
