    He lost any semblance of cool with Pinkett’s affair and the slap. He is desperate to get it back but that’s not really going to be possible. Had he not slapped Rock he might have been able to lean into being a more sentimental figure at this stage but that too has passed.

      I don’t know. She didn’t really have any bearing on his decline before that point. I assume those that knew about their celebrity life and her affair did, but that wasn’t most people.
