Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are shutting down their charity, the Will And Jada Smith Family Foundation.
The news comes two years after the 55-year-old actor went on stage and slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, following poor jokes from the comedian.
Variety reports that the charity closing down is due to fallout from that incident four years ago, which took multiple effects on Will‘s career.

However, Variety also reports that a source says Will and Jada were “winding down the foundation,” which was founded in 1996 as a way for the couple to advocate for health and wellness, arts education and sustainability issues that mattered to them.
The source reveals they are going to focus “more on giving the same amount to charitable causes – just privately,” according to Variety.

There were two staffers in 2021 that had lowered pay, and in 2022, there were reportedly no staff at the charity, furthering the Smiths moving away from the org.
