While Williams admitted that “The Slap” caused a bit of distraction, she seemingly added some words of support for Smith. “But I also feel that I’ve been in a position where I’ve been under a lot of pressure and made a tremendous amount of mistakes,” she explained. “I’m the kind of person that’s just like, ‘I’ve been there. I’ve made a mistake. It’s not the end of the world.’ We’re all imperfect, and we’re all human, and let’s just be kind to each other.”
