Actor Will Smith punches Chris Rock at Oscar 2022, Twitter lashes out at the wrong Will Smith

After the Oscar 2022 disaster, enraged fans turned to Twitter to air their complaints, but it seems out they were tagging the wrong Will Smith all along.

At the Oscars this year Will Smith became enraged and slammed Chris Rock on the stage after he appeared to make a crude joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

While the winners should have been the focus of the Academy Awards, Smith and Chris’s surprise on-stage confrontation became the event’s focus.

What followed was a barrage of social media shaming. While some supported Smith, others believed that violence was not the solution to the problem. While outraged fans flocked to Twitter to vent their frustrations, it turns out they had been tagging the wrong Will Smith all along.

Several Twitter users tagged “Will Smith,” a podcaster and video game producer with a verified account, and requested him to apologise to Chris Rock for his behaviour.

Will Smith’s namesake tweeted, “Real talk, I’m not the person you’re upset/happy with. I make podcasts and video games for a living. At the risk of making people pissed off at me instead of that other guy, the world would be a better place if we stopped answering words with violence (sic).”
