“Will and I are continuing to do what we have done…”- Jada Smith Opens up About Will Smith and Chris Rock’s Oscar Slap and How They Are Dealing With It
The most talked-about incident at the 2022 Academy Awards was the altercation that took place onstage rather than one of the ceremony’s real winners. Will Smith slapped Chris Rock when the comedian joked about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s baldness. It was a totally unexpected thing, and Will had to face a lot of criticism after that. The incident will remain in people’s memories forever and ever. After over two months, Jada finally opened about how she and Will are dealing with the aftermath of the infamous incident.
This specific Oscars incident occurred when Chris Rock made comments about how he couldn’t wait to watch Jada Pinkett Smith in G.I. Jane 2, comparing her baldness to that of Demi Moore in the original G.I. Jane. However, just a few seconds later, Will got onstage, smacked Rock, went back to his seat, and warned the former Saturday Night Live cast member to stop using the name of his wife from his “fucking mouth.” Recently, the actress took to her talk show Red Table Talk to address the incident and its aftermath.
