Now almost a year later, Serena has talked about that night and how she felt about it. “I thought it was such an incredible film, and I feel that there was an incredible film after that with Questlove that kinda was overshadowed,” Serena said, referring to “Summer of Soul,” the Oscar-winning documentary that was being awarded when the altercation broke out.
“But, I also feel that I’ve been in a position where I’ve been under a lot of pressure and I’ve made a tremendous amount of mistakes,” she added. “And I’m the kind of person that’s like ― ‘I’ve been there. I’ve made a mistake. It’s not the end of the world.’”
Serena’s comments are a contrast to some of the extreme views from other celebrities who may or may not agree with Will Smith’s actions. “We’re all imperfect and we’re all human, and let’s just be kind to each other,” she added, telling viewers that that kind of sentiment was “often forgotten.”
