Steve Harvey claims he lost a lot of respect’ for Will Smith.

Will Smith’s startling slap during the 2022 Oscars has left an indelible impression on the industry.

Steve Harvey, a prominent comedian and television host, recently spoke out against the horrible Academy Awards incident.

Harvey, 65, recently appeared at Georgia State University, where he discussed various topics, including Smith and Rock’s conflict, according to source “I’m a Christian, but I’m not very mature.” “I’m not a high-level Christian,” the TV personality admitted.

“On a scale of one to ten, I’m a two,” he continued. That is the amount of Christianity with which I am comfortable. T.D. Jakes will turn the other cheek if you slap him. Do you want to slap me? Jada would have to move out of the way if you sat back in your seat. That describes the kind of Christian I am.”

Harvey even claimed Smith made a “punk move” before stating he had “lost a lot of respect” for the Oscar winner.

Following the incident, the Academy announced a ten-year ban on the King Richard actor from attending the Academy’s annual awards programme and other functions.

After making fun of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s baldness, the Bad Boys star smacked comedian Chris Rock on stage.
