Will Smith makes first appearance on social media since Chris Rock apology; posts silly spider video

Will Smith is slowly crawling back onto social media.

On Saturday, Smith posted a video to Facebook and Instagram that shows his and his son Trey’s encounter with a large spider, possibly inside their Calabasas home.


The caption simply reads, “Posting this from a Holiday Inn.”

“What the whole hell?” Smith says to his son, Trey, as the spider crawls across the floor. “That is a big a** spider.”

Smith urges Trey to take care of the spider, which he does by placing a glass over it.

“We’re selling the house,” Smith jokes, holding up the captured spider for the camera.

This video was the first time Smith has appeared on social media since he issued an apology to comedian Chris Rock for slapping Rock at the Academy Awards in March.
