Jada Pinkett Opens Up On Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscar
Jada Pinkett Smith Will Smith’s wife, has finally addressed her husband’s controversial on-air smack of Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards.
During the debut of her famous Facebook series Red Table Talk on Wednesday (June 1), Jada discussed the ordeal.
“This is a really important ‘Red Table Talk’ on alopecia,” Jada said. “Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories. I’m using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia actually is.”
She added, “Now about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile. The state of the world today, we need them both. And we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening.”
Will Smith assaulted comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards when he referred to Jada as “G.I. Jane,” comparing her shaved head to the Demi Moore character from the 1997 film. However, after the slap, Jada’s husband requested Chris rock take “his wife’s name” out of his “fucking mouth.” Jada had been open about her struggle with alopecia, and the joke enraged him.
