Will Smith's troubles continue: Speeding ticket adds to woes

He is still reeling from the fallout of the Oscars slap, and even his recent foray into the gaming world fell flat.

It seems Will Smith's run of bad luck just won't end. The actor was slapped with a speeding ticket on a notoriously dangerous stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

Stressing that no one gets away with pushing the speed limit in that zone, law enforcement sources confirmed to TMZ that the Oscar-winning, actor was doing 63 in a 45 mph zone.

This latest incident adds to Smith's ongoing streak of challenges.  His career is still reeling from the fallout of the infamous Oscars slap, and even his recent foray into the gaming world fell flat. 

Despite his star power, Smith's involvement in the open-world survival game 'Undawn' failed to make a significant impact and the video game flopped spectacularly.

The game, released in mid-2023, casts Smith in a minor role as a guide character, proving that celebrity endorsements alone can't guarantee success.

The public airing of his marital woes likely adds to the emotional turmoil Will is already facing following the Oscars controversy. The scrutiny and criticism directed at both him and Jada Smith can take a toll on his mental well-being and strain their relationship further.

The upcoming release of 'Bad Boys 4' could serve as a much-needed distraction and potentially a way for Will to regain some positive public sentiment. 

The success of the film, however,  could be a double-edged sword. While a box office hit might boost his career, it could also intensify public interest in his personal life, putting his and Jada's relationship back in the spotlight.
