The true moral of the story is to not believe Hollywood PR. Will Smith has been a media darling for decades. The guy could do no wrong.
Now it turns out he's just another deeply flawed rich person.
An important lesson for people who idolize celebrities and engage in parasocial relationships with them. Whether it's Kim Kardashian or Keanu Reeves, you have no idea of what they're really like, stop fooling yourself that you do.
You take what you said about Keanu back rn
Keanu's been nothing but a real G since the 80's.
Will Smith has been a cocky dick the entire time — he just had charisma so people let it slide.
You shouldn't idolize any celebrity, period. Get some real heroes for fucks sake. Your local nursing home staff are more heroic than any celebrity. One gets fame and fortune. The other gets poverty and depression. Which takes more heroism to persevere through?
What if my local nursing home staff yells at fast food workers because they accidentally put pickles on her hamburger after sitting in the hotass kitchen for 9 hours straight doing the same thing over and over as fast they can because the store is understaffed and their replacement is late? Anyone can be a dick, just remember everyone is human and has weird emotions just like you.
Well, I'm assuming poverty and depression would play a large role in someone lashing out at the wrong person (the fast food worker) while the little rich bitches get a life catered to them. They may both be human, but one group does not even remotely live in the same reality the poor and depressed experience (the nurse AND fast food worker) so really they can fuck off and wipe their little crocodile tears with their hundo bills.
