I betrayed the believe of the Academy.”

During the broadcast, the cast roasted Will’s punishment from the Academy, joking, “I think a real punishment would be to make Will Smith host subsequent yr’s Oscars because, consider me, nothing will make you question your possible choices in existence greater than website hosting an awards show.”
Both Willow, 21, and Jaden seemed to put their dad’s scandal behind them while placing out within the desert over the weekend. “Jaden had an awesome time at Coachella along with his pals and his girlfriend Sab Zada,” the insider tells Us. “They’ve been together a while now and are the sort of great are compatible for each and every different.”
