Will Smith's image has taken quite the hit since Sunday night, as the 52-year-old actor has been criticized by iconic members of the media such as Stephen A. Smith. But yesterday, when legendary radio host Howard Stern shared his thoughts about the Oscar Award-winning actor during an on-air presentation of his SiriusXM show he wasn't nearly as introspective and insightful as his contemporary.
“Obviously, he’s got emotional problems,” Howard said “Where’s security? This is a live television event. Not one person came out, because he’s Will Smith...He decided he’s gonna take matters into his own hands — at a time when the world is at war. Bad timing, man. I mean, calm your f***ing a** down...This is a sign of great mental illness when you can’t control your impulse."
The self-proclaimed "King of All Media" didn't stop there, as he soon switched gears in order to sympathize with Chris Rock and critique the timeliness of his joke about Jada.
“Not only that, it was hardly an insulting joke. It was not even a good joke. The joke, quite frankly, was beneath Chris Rock. It was a throwaway: ‘You look like G.I. Jane,’" Howard exclaimed. “Poor Chris Rock is a comedian and just trying to get through the day to make the f–king people laugh at that horrible ceremony."
