Will Smith has been blasted over an ‘inappropriate’ act with a female singer onstage amid his unusual marriage arrangement with wife Jada Pinkett.
The Oscar winner, 56, whose separation from Pinkett was revealed in 2023, was filmed putting on a flirty display with India Martinez, 39, as they performed song First Love at the Premio Lo Nuestro award show in Miami on February 20.
The pair got steamy during their song as they embraced and even appeared to share a kiss, while Smith placed a hand on Martinez’s backside.
In further candid snaps taken backstage, Martinez was seen jumping into Smith’s arms and wrapping her legs around his waist.
The display left fans stunned and calling out the rapper for ‘inappropriate’ and the ‘worst’ behavior.
One fan wrote: ‘This is the worst’ while a second typed: ‘Inappropriate, even if it is ‘entertainment.”
Others wrote: ‘It’s like someone’s dad’s on the karaoke with a drunk local woman.’
‘It’s how Will forgot where he was and went to put his arms around her.’
‘Will plays too much.’
Others defended the star and said he deserved ‘unlimited hall passes’ after Pinkett admitted to an affair with family friend August Alsina in 2020.
Fans penned: ‘I know yall ain’t tripping when Jada has embarrassed this man publicly numerously times!! Come on.
‘Idc his ‘wife’ embarrassed him how many times.’
‘Let that man live he’s been put through enough, damn. TR.’
‘Good for Will! He deserves to live life to the fullest, Jada did him dirty.
‘This man is a actor and has kissed plenty of women who is not his wife, he is a paid entertainer this is legit his job.’
Will also stripped off his shirt during the performance, showing off his body in a white t-shirt as he walked toward India, after being open about his health and fitness journey in recent years. Back in 2021 the actor revealed that he was in the ‘worst shape of his life’ after lockdown and years of gaining and losing weight for his Hollywood roles.
It was recently reported that the I Am Legend actor and Jada are ‘are living their own lives but haven’t completely severed ties,’ as per People.
‘Call it what you want,’ the source added. Meanwhile, another inside said the pair, who got married in 1997, are ‘still together’ but ‘have had separate homes for years.’
The pair have been working on their relationship after Jada disclosed in 2023 that they had been separated for seven years, beginning in 2016.
In 2023 it was reported that Jada has her own house nearby to Will in Calabasas.
