“It’s a terrifying time to have an opinion.”
Zoë Kravitz went back to her comments about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars 2022.

In a cover story for the WSJ, the actress addressed some of the backlash she received online for sharing her views on the incident, saying:
“It’s a terrifying time to have an opinion or say the wrong thing or make statements or have controversial thoughts or whatever.”
Zoë Kravitz initially commented on a since-deleted photo of her look from the ceremony, “Here’s a photo of my dress at the show where we’re apparently assaulting people on stage now.”
Alongside her initial social media post, the actress wrote alongside a second photo at the time:
“And here’s a picture of my dress at the party after the awards ceremony – where we’re apparently yelling profanity and assaulting people on stage now.”
In addition to opening up about the Oscar event, in the same article for WSJ, the actress opened up about Channing Tatum.
Zoë Kravitz talked about the new project she is working on with her lover for her directorial debut, in the thriller Pussy Island.
“When you’re creating things with people, it’s a very sacred space, and when you’re creatively compatible with someone, it often opens up other channels, because you’re kind of sharing a part of yourself.”
Then, she added about Tatum:
“I’m really grateful that this film brought him into my life in this way.”
One thing is for sure, we can’t wait to watch Pussy Island.
