The entire Internet is passing around a screenshot (see right) from Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards that supposedly shows Will Smith and his children Willow and Jaden looking horrified during Miley Cyrus’ raunchy performance.

Everyone is wrong.

The moment captured on MTV’s “audience cam” actually shows the Smiths watching Lady Gaga’s “Applause” show opener.

Us Weekly, Buzzfeed, Yahoo!, and thousands of Twitter users ignored the image in the lower right-hand corner of the shot (see below), which actually shows who was on stage at the time — Gaga, NOT Cyrus.

Sure enough, Gossip Cop checked the full replay of MTV’s “Live All Access” feed, and the now-infamous Smith reaction shot comes at 03:04:17 — smack in the middle of Gaga’s performance, which, it should be noted, the Smiths applauded just a few seconds later.

While the world had plenty of reactions to Cyrus’ racy VMAs stage show, the Smiths’ is NOT one of them.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are “at war over their 12-year-old daughter, Willow,” begins a piece in the National Enquirer.

The magazine goes on to report the couple is fighting over Willow’s “sexed-up video” for her now song, “Summer Fling.”

“Jada gave the project the green light — and now dad is furious!” writes the tabloid.

“He’s fit to be tied,” says a so-called “insider,” noting that Smith “almost had a heart attack the first time he saw the video.”

Uh, huh.

The supposed “insider” adds, “Will lashed out at Jada, saying, ‘How could you let my little baby do this?’”

For real?

First off, the Enquirer tried to peddle family problems in the past, wrongly claiming that Will and Jada set up a “boot camp” to rein in their kids’ “wild-child ways.”

Also, the video for “Summer Fling” is hardly “sexed-up.”

And most importantly, a real source tells Gossip Cop the Enquirer tale is “not true.”

Whoops.
