Internet baffled as source claims Will Smith gained weight due to stress from Jada's separation confession

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Will Smith has been going through a rough patch for over a year now, which has apparently led to him gaining about 30 pounds (13 kg), as pointed out by a source to RadarOnline.com.

The 'Men in Black' star found himself embroiled in controversy after the infamous 2022 Oscar slapgate incident surrounding Chris Rock. 

Then, his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, released her memoir 'Worthy', making several personal revelations about their marriage, and subsequently claimed that they had been separated for the past seven years. 

As per the source, "Will started out this year vowing to get into tip-top shape, but he soon fell off the wagon. Jada's confession that they'd been separated for years tipped him way over the edge. He's taking it out in the kitchen by eating everything in sight."

Source claims Will Smith has always been an 'emotional eater'

The tipster added, "Late-night snacks and lack of discipline are hitting him hard in all the wrong areas. His belly protrudes, he's jowly and his muscles are turning to fat. Will's always been an emotional eater, it's one of the only comforts he's got."

Longevity expert Dr Gabe Mirkin has a warning for binge eaters like Will. The doctor reportedly stated, "When you gain weight rapidly, you fill your liver with fat, dramatically increasing the risk of diabetes."

Internet reacts to Will Smith's alleged weight gain

Soon after the news about Will's apparent sudden weight gain came to light, netizens flocked to comment with their views regarding the situation surrounding Jada. 

One commented, "Y'all know what will happen. He'll beef up then cut and become super ripped again then everyone will say he's so hot and they'll forget all that he's done and what he's been through."

Another noted, "Look like she can stress a man out🤣," while a person questioned, "Is it for a role he’s playing, maybe?"

Someone else inquired, "He can't afford ozempic now?" with an individual simply stating, "He will Survive!"

Netizens believe it's time for Will Smith to 'move on'

On Christmas Day, Will took to Instagram to post pictures with his family, including Jada, even after claims of them having separated. They posed together for photos in fun outfits, and the caption read, "Merry Xmas!!"

Soon a barrage of comments followed from netizens, recalling their recent public family drama.

One wrote, "Will, blink twice in case you need help to get out of there," while another questioned, "Why is this a-list Hollywood actor still with this problem?"

"I have been on your side but this shows that you like to be treated like garbage 🤦🏽‍♂️," expressed a person, while someone else added, "There’s only one talented person in that family… He needs to move on!"
