It’s safe to say that the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation had been nothing but divisive, and that Zoe Kravitz has waded into it, many people on the internet are furious. “You don’t support him defending his wife?” one fan asked on Instagram, to which she responded, “nope.”
It didn’t take long before people switched up on the internet darling, to the point that some even accused her of grooming Jaden Smith and called out her friendship with designer Alexander Wang, who had been accused of sexual assault in 2020. “zoe kravitz supports known abuser alexander wang, made predatory comments about 14 year old jaden and dated ezra miller when they were 17-18 and she was 20+ but wants to speak about will and draw the line at a slap,” one fan said. “Zoe Kravitz should have kept quiet, now she’s being outed as a predator, previously being in a relationship with a domestic abuser and being besties with a sexual predator. What a time to be alive. Pots calling kettles, logs in eyes,” said another.
People were presumably referring to a 2013 V Magazine interview (via JustJared), where Kravitz said, “There were moments that I was hanging out with Jaden and thinking, I can’t believe you’re 14, I have to check myself, like what I say to you… [H]e’s so handsome, I was always like, ‘When you’re older, you know, we’ll hangout…’ Nope, that’s inappropriate, you’re 14.” The actor has yet to address the backlash to the resurfaced comments.
