“I hope people allow [Will] to be human. I really hope for that because I stand in support of him, we are on good terms. You cannot heal without forgiveness.”
During the recent interview, Zampino added that Smith gives generously and puts love into whatever he does. Calling him gracious and kind, Sheree mentioned that he had given us years of laughter through his work and expects that people would give him the chance to be human.

Although the reason for their split remains unknown, Zampino once mentioned that it was because of Smith’s rising stardom in the film industry and the different paths their respective lives took.
Despite getting separated, the ex-couple have remained close friends and Smith’s wife Jada has disclosed that Smith, Zampino, and Trey have gone together for vacations.

Will Smith slaps Chris Rock and the aftermath
During the 94th Academy Awards in March 2022, Chris Rock joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, which provoked Will Smith to go up on stage and slap Chris Rock. Although Smith went back to his seat, he continued to yell at Rock, asking him to keep his wife’s name out of his mouth.
The Bad Boys II star has apologized to Rock and the Academy and resigned from his Academy membership in April 2022. Subsequently, he was banned from attending the Oscars for ten years.
The video of the incident instantly went viral on social media and live television broadcasts had to be edited. Following the incident, a fourth film from the Bad Boys franchise was put on hold in April 2022, although Sony’s chairman Tom Rothman has confirmed that it is still in development.
