Critics Slam Will Smith for Using His Film ‘After Earth’ to Promote Scientology
Will Smith’s precocious daughter, Willow, 12, once famously said school was not a top priority for her. But just days later, the “Whip My Hair” singer revealed her struggle with illiteracy when she couldn’t pronounce the word ‘congratulates’ during an appearance on BET’s 106 & Park.
In an interview with Vulture, Will Smith now says Willow sees the importance of going to school and hanging out with her friends.
Willow was spotted hanging out with friends in NYC on Thursday, May 30, after spending the morning helping her father and brother, Jaden Smith, promote their new flick “After Earth”.

Actors Will Smith, center, and Alfonso Ribeiro, right, were spotted at Boujis Nightclub in London where they went to support Smith’s eldest son, Trey Smith, on his first DJing gig in London. For the longest time it was noted that Trey was the only stable Smith child who wasn’t interested in the spotlight. Now Trey joins Samantha Ronson, Solange Knowles, and Tom Cruise’s son, Connor, as celebrity siblings and spawn who take up DJing to make their mark in the entertainment biz.

Will Smith and son Jaden Smith, 14, arrived at the Miami Science Museum to promote their new movie “After Earth” in Miami, Florida on Thursday, May 16. Will and Jaden presented a blank check to the Miami Science Museum to fund the Upward Bound Math and Science program for 100 students. How ironic is it that Will’s own children don’t see the value in an education?

Jaden Smith does Not want to be emancipated from his parents
Yesterday the Internet was abuzz with the news that Will Smith said his 14-year-old son Jaden asked for permission to be an emancipated minor.
Will made the statements in a recent interview in Tokyo. He said he approved Jaden’s request to be emancipated from his parents so he could move into his own house on 15th birthday in July.
But today, Jaden is laughing off the comments made by his father (who people sometimes forget is a comedian).
