Will Smith’s love debacles are seemingly never-ending. The actor almost put his career in jeopardy after slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony. After this, he recovered his career by signing on multiple projects like Bad Boys 4 and I Am Legend 2. Yet he was banned by the Academy from attending for 10 years.
However, many applauded him for standing up for his wife who Chris Rock was joking about during the ceremony. He did it even though she had allegedly cheated on him. Turns out, Smith facing issues because the woman he loves chooses another man over him, dates back to when he was way younger.
Will Smith Revealed The One Time His Date Left Him Stranded
In an interview with BBC, Will Smith told the story of his first heartbreak. He got stood up at a dance when he was only 10 years old and the Oscar-winning actor joked that he hasn’t forgotten that even today. The Bad Boys star said:
“I was about 10 years old and Stacy Brooks promised me the last dance at Shawn Hollis’ birthday party and I was prepared. I was there and ready for that last dance and the DJ announces that this is the last song and I turn around and she’s on the floor with David Brandon! I’ve been scarred from that moment, you know? But hey, I’m getting over it. I think I’m going to be okay.”
He further examined his relationship with Stacy Brooks and found out that bad things only happened around her. The Men in Black star said:
“Like all the bad stuff that happened… it happened around Stacy Brooks. Things were heating up as much as they can when you’re 11 and I thought she was starting to like me and then I got stung by a bee,”
But getting stung by a bee or getting left on the dance floor is nothing compared to allegedly getting cheated on by your wife and then her revealing it in front of the whole world. That’s definitely a special kind of embarrassment.
