Judd Apatow’s controversial tweet sparks frenzy

• Judd Apatow’s divisive version of the Will Smith slapgate scandal reappeared.
• The director of This Is 40 quickly deleted the tweet. 
• He is under criticism over the approaching anniversary of his divisive remarks.

During the 2023 Oscars, Judd Apatow’s divisive version of the Will Smith slapgate scandal reappeared.

After the King Richard star attacked Chris Rock, Smith tweeted, “He could have killed him. That’s pure out of control rage and violence. They’ve heard a million jokes about them in the last three decades. They are not freshman in the world of Hollywood and comedy. He lost his mind.”

But, the director of This Is 40 quickly deleted the tweet. Yet, he received criticism for his vehement stance on the issue.

In a second deleted tweet, the-55-year-old said, “Seems like Will Smith’s plan to get comedians and the world to not make jokes about him is not going to pan out. The Williams family must be furious. Pure narcissism.”

So far, the director is under criticism over the approaching anniversary of his divisive remarks.

“It’s been a year, and this is still the funniest thing anyone said about it,” one user commented.

“Judd, you know it wasn’t that bad,” another jibed.

One Twitterati posted the video game series Left 4 Dead monster and wrote, “Will Smith according to Judd Apatow.”
