In honor of Will Smith‘s 50th birthday on Tuesday (we’re not going to even talk about how unreal it is for him to be fifty and look like THAT), Garcelle Beauvais posted what she thought was an innocent tribute to her former Wild Wild West co-star.
Soon after Black Twitter reacted in true fashion.

After a few hours of back and forth, Garcelle eventually apologized for the “funny post”.
But she wasn’t the only on-screen love interest that paid tribute to the actor…and in the same way. Vivica Fox, who starred in Independence Day with Will did the same in honor of his birthday.
I call it an occupational hazard. Jada Pinkett Smith is likely unmoved and unbothered.
TELL US: Was it disrespectful for Garcelle and even Vivica to use these photos?
