Would Will Smith’s slap scandal impact Bad Boys?

Will Smith is the fifth Black American actor to win an Oscar for best actor, after Sidney Poitier in Lilies Of The Field, Denzel Washington in Rainy Day, Jamie Foxx in Ray and Forest Whittaker in The Last King Of Scotland. His moment of glory was, alas, eclipsed by one of the ugliest and yet bravest moments in the history of the Oscars. Just how deep did the slap cut into Smith’s career? Reportedly, his projects with Sony and Netflix were shelved.
