Will Smith, one of the most famous names in Hollywood, caused a scandal at the Oscar Awards ceremony held last night. Angered when the host Chris Rock made a joke about his wife, Smith slapped Chris Rock on the live broadcast and cursed him not to mention his wife’s name.
While the Will Smith incident drew a lot of reaction on social media, a user on Twitter with the same name as Will Smith became the victim of this incident. Originally a Twitch streamer and game developer, this Will Smith took the username “@willsmith” because actor Will Smith didn’t have a Twitter account. As a matter of fact, people who mistook the publisher Will as an actor without entering their profile were also the target of tags in their posts.
More than 100 thousand followers came in one night
After the posts that started right after the slap, publisher Will Smith also shared a statement from his account. This Tweet of the publisher, who shared a complaint with slap, received more than 865 thousand likes, while visiting the profile below and asking “Who is this?” He also garnered reactions from tens of thousands who did not look at him.
The publisher, who shared another statement at the end of the Oscar Awards, said, “Let me be serious, I am not the person you are sad/happy for. I make podcasts and video games for a living. The world would be a better place if we stopped responding to words with violence at the cost of pissing people off at me instead of the other guy.” shared his statements. On the other hand, publisher Smith’s Twitter account gathered more than 100,000 followers overnight.
