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.”
Jada’s comments come after Will Smith charged the stage at the 94th Oscar’s and assaulted comedian Chris Rock after he referred to Jada as “G.I. Jane,” likening her shaved head to the Demi Moore character from the 1997 movie. Jada had been open about her struggle with alopecia, and the joke triggered her husband, who, after the slap, demanded Chris rock keep “his wife’s name” out of his “fucking mouth.”
The assault resulted in Will voluntarily resigning from the Academy and led the academy to ultimately impose a 10-year ban on the King Richard star. Multiple projects starring Will Smith have also been put on hold as a result of the ordeal.

“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” Smith said in a statement following his resignation. “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.”
He added, “I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he stated, concluding with “change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to ensure that I never again allow violence to overtake reason.”
Chris, if you collaborate with Will Smith on anything in the near or distant future, I’ll never forgive you.
I did not read this , but shut up Jada. Your garbage. They need to cancel this ho.
big deal move on.
Will should off waited till after the awards to smack the shit out of his crusty ass he shouldn’t be talking about anybody wife especially with a serious disease Will is an excellent actor and still deserves his reward Chris is broke and just looking for some money his Ethiopian ass
@ronald Gorman – Chris made a joke that was coincidentally relevant to a disease no one knew this ho had but he’s in the wrong? Dumb fucks like you should never have children because they’ll come out as retarded as you. Look how emotional you are for a woman who doesn’t even acknowledge your existence. You’re either a simp or your panties are wet for Jada’s bald head ass

Man Will Smith slapped that man for nothing, she doesn’t care at all. No apology, no deep concern for her husband’s mental health, nothing. Another empty response that means nothing.
she is just self centered and toxic

Lmao ??????? u wilding son
Truth
This bitch better shut da da fuck up, before I do somethinAbout it… what kind of embarrassment is this
or…?
what are you going to do? throw a temper tantrum on a chat board?
LOL
This was 100% staged, copied identical from an older movie, everything in society is a big Hollywood script, dont fall for the sorcery
woman who depends on her looks has medical condition which causes baldness in women clowns and jack offs think it’s okay to make a joke about it. husband slaps idiot making the joke on national tv. bad faith muppets lose it yelling about cuck this and cuck that. your rubber room is waiting sir. your hero just caught 20 first degree murder charges along with domestic terrorism
the difference is your hero – talking reckless online angry about women but calling every black man on TV gay yelling cuck this cuck that shot twenty people in a supermarket and caught 20 first degree murder charges. currently eating rat stew in supermax.
our hero shanked Drakeo backstage in LA he dead and not a damn thing you cock smokers can do about it
Fuck the motherfucker that deleted my comment there was nothing wrong with it!
Lighten up, Francis
*vomits*
Jada looks like she makes Will take the blame for all her farts…
I gotta be honest, having alopecia must be tough. With that being said, alopecia is not terminal and it is not physically painful. There are diseases that actually kill people and cause unbearable amounts of physical pain. If the worst thing happening in your family is one of your loved ones is losing their hair to alopecia, that’s pretty good. Men have been dealing with male pattern baldness forever. It sucks and can cause a lot of mental disturbance, but I’ve never seen a group of bald guys getting together to cry about it. This is a pity party. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and move on, you are not dying.
You know she is good in bed because she is bat s### crazy.
But…is it worth the drama….
She’s toxic AF
