How will Will Smith restore his reputation in Hollywood following Oscars slap?

The status of Will Smith’s next movies are up in the air following the actor’s Oscars slap of comedian Chris Rock

Questions are now being raised as to whether Smith’s reputation has become irreparably damaged.

Reports from entertainment industry sources say film projects starring the actor have apparently been stalled and release dates put on hold for films in post-production.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has “quietly moved” the Best Actor winner’s next project, Fast and Loose, “to the back burner” in the wake of the scandal.

On Friday April 8 the Board will discuss consequences regarding Smith’s slap during the Academy Awards.
