On Saturday, the Scottish newspaper Daily Record published an article quoting popular actor Will Smith saying that "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good.'" What Smith did not know when he accepted to be interviewed by Daily Record was that this was the beginning of a new sparkling scandal catching him at the middle.

Only one day after Daily Record published its article, the Jewish Defense League released a post on its own web site, calling Smith an “ignorant, detestable and offensive” man. The League further claimed that Will Smith’s words "spit on the memory of every person murdered by the Nazis" and "stick a knife in the backs of every veteran" who fought against the Nazi regime.

So, it is obvious that the Jewish Defense League was angered by such words saying that Hitler was probably human. However, the only fact that the League did not know was that these words did not belong to Smith, as the actor later claimed. Angered himself over celebrity gossip web site articles and by the Jewish Defense League’s attitude, Will Smith stated on Monday that his words had been in fact misinterpreted by Daily Record’s writer.

"Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet," said Will Smith, who called the problematic article as “an awful and disgusting lie.”

“I am incensed and infuriated to have to respond to such ludicrous misinterpretation,” Will Smith added in his statement. The Jewish Defense League, which also called for movie theaters to stop showing the actor’s movie I Am Legend and for the public to boycott it, hasn’t yet reacted to Smith’s latest public statement.
