Zoë Kravitz is finally addressing the way she reacted to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars — and she has some MAJOR regrets!
As Perezcious readers know, a few days after the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum hit the comedian on live television over a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith‘s hair, Zoë took to Instagram to share photos from the evening and call out the drama in a shady caption, writing:
She also responded “nope” when someone asked her if she supported Will’s actions. Both comments totally backfired when online critics dug up some icky comments Zoë made about Will’s son Jaden Smith.

The three all worked together on After Earth when Jaden was just 14 years old. One person tweeted a screenshot of an interview the actress, who is ten years older than the child star, did with V Magazine in 2013 — in which she discussed her somewhat creepy thoughts about the young teen, saying:
Just… no.
So inappropriate!
Unfortunately, the trolling didn’t stop there. Folks — perhaps in support of Will, maybe just because internet? — dug up a LOT more about her past, including her friendship with Alexander Wang (who has been accused of sexual assault by multiple people), comments she’s made about her biracial upbringing, and her father Lenny Kravitz’s own history of dating someone WAY younger than him. She really got sucker punched with all the dirt the internet could dig up!! So how does she feel about speaking out now?!
