As Hollywood continues to debate over what should or should not be done in response to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars on Sunday, one Hollywood agent says that he’s done working with Smith’s production company, Westbrook.

“I’m not giving Westbrook any projects. And I may even blow up the ones that I have that are currently in negotiations. What’s Westbrook without Will? Nothing,” the agent, who requested anonymity, told TheWrap.

Founded in 2019 by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Westbrook co-produced “King Richard,” which earned Smith an Oscar this past weekend, and several television series, including Netflix’s “Cobra Kai,” Peacock’s “Bel Air,” and his wife’s Facebook Watch talk show, “Red Table Talk.”
