Will Smith is being called out for what many are calling an ‘inappropriate’ onstage moment with singer India Martinez.
The incident occurred during their performance of ‘First Love’ at the Premio Lo Nuestro award show in Miami.
People are taking to social media and reacting strongly to the viral moment, with some condemning the display.
One individual called it ‘the worst,’ while another remarked: “Inappropriate, even if it is ‘entertainment.’”
Mockingly, a third said: “Someone’s dad doing karaoke with a drunk local woman.”
Someone else questioned: “Wonder what Jada would have to say about this.”
Meanwhile, others have taken to social media and defended the King Richard star.
Many have pointed out that Jada Pinkett Smith openly admitted to an affair with singer August Alsina in 2020.
Some argue that Will Smith has faced enough public humiliation, with one fan commenting, “I know y’all ain’t tripping when Jada has embarrassed this man publicly numerous times!”
Another added, “Let that man live, he’s been through enough.”
A third fan shared, “Will is living life, and I love to see it.”
Reports indicate that despite being legally married since 1997, Smith and Pinkett have been leading largely separate lives.
In 2023, Pinkett Smith revealed they had been privately separated since 2016.
Sources suggest that while the couple remains connected, they have chosen to live independently.
In her memoir Worthy, Pinkett Smith revealed that their separation felt like a “divorce” despite no legal action being taken.
“It was not a divorce on paper. But it was a divorce,” she wrote.
She admitted to considering a formal split but ultimately chose not to go through with it.
Despite their struggles, Pinkett Smith said she felt a renewed commitment to her husband after the infamous 2022 Oscars incident, when Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock over a joke about her shaved head.
“That was the moment I knew I would never leave Will’s side after years of thinking I would,” she shared. “It’s funny how intense situations can amplify love.”
Now, another onstage moment has put Smith back in the spotlight.
The Oscar-winning actor was seen engaging in a flirtatious exchange with Martinez, a Spanish flamenco and pop singer.
Footage shows the pair embracing, seemingly exchanging a kiss, and Smith placing a hand on the singer’s lower back.
Backstage photos added fuel to the controversy, showing Martinez enthusiastically jumping into Smith’s arms and wrapping her legs around his waist.
