After the recent traumatic slap, Will Smith is currently undergoing psychotherapy and has not yet directly apologized to Chris Rock.

Andrew Wallenstein - President and director of media analysis of Variety recently commented that Will Smith's silence at this time is wise. According to Wallenstein, silence will provide a valuable break after weeks of continuous negative news surrounding the actor. The actor has been ridiculed excessively in the media.

Perhaps the silence was justified after Smith conveyed the message that "change takes time" in his resignation statement from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in April. .

However, the question is whether maintaining silence for so long is the right strategy for Smith, when he should, he needs to prove to the public beyond an apology to Chris Rock and the Korean Academy. Lam, the actor really repented for his unfortunate actions.

"Of course, easier said than done. Without a doubt, Will and his team are considering the best options. I think the best thing to do after this stage is to break the silence, Mr. He needs to create the right message to correct mistakes, restore reputation," said Wallenstein.

To be fair, no one can interfere in the decision of actor King Richard. He can step away from the limelight, spend time reflecting on this "one glass wrong, one mile" behavior in the middle of this mess. However, not everyone is patient enough to wait for Smith to speak.

Up to now, not only Emancipation, but also quite a few other works of the actor such as Pole to Pole, Bad Boys 4, The Council, Bright 2, Fast and Loose ... have been delayed or delayed. That shows that Smith's career is going downhill.

Most crisis media consultants advise that Smith's apology will only be the first step on the road to image restoration. To get the movie track back on track, he had to do more than that.

"First, the apology needs to be said as soon as possible," the Variety expert emphasized.

While everyone was waiting for an apology from Will Smith, he decided to take a flight to Mumbai, India to make a "spiritual trip" to stabilize his spirit. Here, he will study meditation and yoga courses. The Indian Express writes that the actor most likely wants to meet Zen master Sadhguru, spiritual leader and founder of the Isha Foundation. Smith once identified himself as one of Sadhguru's followers.

According to Variety, Will Smith is on the right track and sending the right message, although the decision won't be as positive as a direct apology - something Smith will probably only say in the near future. when he had an intimate interview with Oprah Winfrey or sat down to talk on the show Red Table Talk.

"For me, Will is still an amazingly talented, charismatic actor. He will give us peace of mind as he tries to correct himself, correct his mistakes and make it clear how he struggled. for this life. The audience needs to understand more about his motives, his person, "said Andrew Wallenstein.

Smith's defenders argue that the actor should not give in to criticism and urges, but actually speak up when he feels ready because "the speed is not enough". According to Wallenstein, that idea is naive in the context of endless sensational news, which means that the pressure on the star is increasing.

When analyzing from another angle, Wallenstein does not rule out the possibility that Will Smith is waiting for Chris Rock to resolve the controversy before he makes a direct apology. In the event that both remained silent, the argument continued and lasted from year to month.

In addition, Will Smith used to live in feelings of hatred for his father and pity for his mother. Last year, Will Smith shared in an interview that in his childhood years, the actor always had to live in extreme emotions, there was a time when he hated his father, when he witnessed the actions of his father. violence caused by the father to the actor's mother.

In fact, after Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars, after Chris Rock made a joke about Jada's hairstyle - Will Smith's wife, the news immediately immediately related to the actor's childhood story.

Will Smith has always lived with the guilt that he couldn't protect his mother, and the moment he stepped onto the Oscar stage to attack Chris Rock, chances are, Will Smith lived in the feeling that if he If he can't do anything at that moment, he will be a "coward" who can't... "protect" his wife.
