Tyler Perry Was “De-Escalating” Not Comforting Will Smith After Oscars Slap – TribecaFilmFestival
, he took issue with media reports that he had comforted Smith — who sprinted up to Rock and belted him for joking about wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head.
“My only problem with is this. If I talk about it, then it become overshadowing of everything else we talked about. That will be the headline for sure,” Perry told King, when she asked if Smith would keep his namesake soundstage at Tyler Perry Studios. Perry named each of the 12 stages after someone he admires.“We can make another headline,” she joked. “I am pregnant with Tyler’s child. That’s the headline.
He said Smith, who has been banned from the Oscar ceremony for ten years, “was devastated. He couldn’t believe what happened. He couldn’t believe he did it. And I’m looking at this man, in his eyes going, ‘What are you doing? This is your night… And to get all this way to winning an Oscar. It was one of the crowning moments of his career that he wanted so desperately.
Perry noted that his annual payroll this year and last is about $154 million “that’s going 99% to Black people.”
