Willow Smith is preaching about kindness just days after her father, Will Smith, smacked Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the 21-year-old singer posted a quote originally shared by motivational speaker Jay Shetty that said, “You know who’s going through a lot right now? Literally everyone. Just be kind.”
The tone of the message reflected a similar one posted by mom Jada Pinkett Smith, which said, “This is a season for healing and I’m here for it.”
In contrast, Willow’s brother Jaden Smith, 23, seemingly supported their dad smacking Rock right after the live attack.
“And That’s How We Do It,” he tweeted shortly after the 94th Academy Awards wrapped Sunday night.
Earlier that evening, Will, 53, rushed the Oscars stage to slap Rock, 57, after the comedian joked about Pinkett Smith’s bald head, which is due to her struggles with alopecia.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum quipped, “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait.”
After Will hit Rock, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in “King Richard.”
During his acceptance speech, the “Bad Boys” star apologized to everyone except Rock.
However, Will later issued a written apology to the stand-up comic on Instagram the following day.
“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” the Oscar winner wrote on Monday afternoon. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about my Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”
“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris,” he added in his statement. “I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”
It is unknown whether Rock has accepted the mea culpa, but the “Madagascar” actor has chosen not to press charges over the assault.
