Jada Pinkett Smith’s Honest Reflection on Will Smith’s Oscars Slap Incident

At the 2022 Oscars, a shocking incident occurred when Will Smith, separated from his wife Jada Pinkett Smith for seven years, slapped comedian Chris Rock. The Men In Black actor’s forceful response was prompted by a quip from Chris Rock referencing Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia-induced bald head as a “G.I. Jane Joe.”

In the aftermath of this incident, Smith issued numerous apologies to both the Academy and Chris Rock, and he faced a 10-year ban from attending any events.

Now, Jada Pinkett Smith, known for her roles in “Gemini Man,” has opened up about her initial thoughts during the unforgettable moment. In an interview with People Magazine while discussing her new book, ‘Worthy,’ Jada candidly shared, “I thought, ‘This is a skit.'” She continued, saying, “I was like, ‘There’s no way that Will hit him.’ It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realized it wasn’t a skit.”

Her first words to Will Smith in the wake of the incident were a simple yet caring, “Are you okay?” Jada Pinkett Smith also emphasized her unwavering support for her husband, the Fresh Prince alum, as he navigated the challenging aftermath. She stated that she intended to stand by his side while allowing him the space to handle the situation on his terms.

The incident at the Oscars remains a significant moment in the entertainment industry’s history, and Jada Pinkett Smith’s candid reflection offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes emotions and reactions that unfolded during that fateful night.
