theGrio featured stories

It’s been a horrible week for the executives at Sony. Leaked emails revealed racist and distasteful comments about President Obama and Kevin Hart, to name a few. Now it’s been revealed that they’ve also poked fun at Will and Jada Smith’s teenage children, Jaden and Willow.

An email chain between Tom Rothman, a chairman of TriStar; Doug Belgrad, president of SPE’s Motion Picture Group; and Amy Pascal, SPE’s co-chairman, makes fun of the now infamous NY Times interview with the Smith siblings titled “Jaden and Willow Smith on Prana Energy, Time and Why School is Overrated.”

Willow and Jaden received a lot of attention from the interview for expressing some of their out of the norm beliefs on life, time and school.

“Read this,” Rothman wrote to Belgrad, forwarding an email he received from someone else, “they r home schooled: don’t let this family date your movies!!!” 

Expect Sony to apologize to the Smith family if they haven’t already. Will Smith is set to star in one of their films slated for 2016.
