Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith’s wife, has finally addressed her husband’s infamous on-air slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Jada opened up about the ordeal during Wednesday’s (June 1) premiere of her popular Facebook series Red Table Talk.
“This is a really important ‘Red Table Talk’ on alopecia,” Jada started. “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 continued, “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.”
