Cosmic beings and suppositories of ancient wisdom Jaden and Willow Smith have become the latest, indirect victims of the Sony Pictures hack, with leaked internal emails throwing hella shade at the pair.
Back in November, the New York Times ran a highly entertaining profile of the #blessed twosome, in which they held forth on such topics as how time doesn’t exist but also it does exist and an apple is also the opposite of an apple.
Apparently someone at Sony Pictures, the studio that released this, read the article and became concerned about what Jaden and Willow might do to their brand.
Defamer have been diligently sifting through the leaked emails, and came across an email chain shared between TriStar chairman Tom Rothman, and high-ranking Sony Pictures executives Doug Belgrad and Amy Pascal.
Rothman forwarded the New York Times profile to Belgrad, snarkily saying:
1. Read this
2. they r home schooled: don’t let this family date your movies!!!
Belgrad then forwarded it on to Pascal. The implication is pretty clearly that the Smith kids do not make for good box office, at least in the US domestic market, where Sony’s own Will-Jaden joint After Earth flopped pretty hard.
Sony are currently working on a project called Untitled NFL Concussion Drama with the senior Smith. It will certainly be interesting to see how this plays out.
