Hollywood star Will Smith is facing the consequences of his shocking reaction at the 2022 Oscars, when he jumped to the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock for making joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
After Netflix and Sony, Paramount Pictures has also withdrawn involvement in the King Richard actor’s upcoming movie titled, Bounce.
Moreover, the digital sensation JoJo Siwa has also stepped away from starring in Smith-backed film after his 2022 Oscars feud.
However, various sources have told Variety that Siwa dropped out of the project ‘months ago’ and her decision is in no way related to Smith’s incident at the Oscars.
At the GLAAD Media Awards held recently, Siwa spoke about the same. “That project got put on hold, and then went away. It wasn’t the one,” Variety reported.
Smith’s film, Bounce’s adaptation was first announced in 2020. The feature film, based on the YA book by Megan Shull, was brought to the studio by Cobra Kai’s producer Caleb Pinkett.
