Jada Pinkett Smith: Will Smith and Chris Rock should “reconcile” and “heal” after Oscars slap
On Wednesday’s episode of the Facebook Watch series “Red Table Talk,” Jada Pinkett Smith finally spoke up about the infamous slap at the Oscars. At the March awards ceremony, her husband Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage after the comedian poked fun at Pinkett Smith and her lack of hair. The televised altercation launched a million thinkpieces attempting to assign blame or identifying the most injured party. Pinkett Smith had stayed mum until now, deciding to address The Slap in the opening of Wednesday’s episode: “About Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile,” she said. “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.” RELATED: What is alopecia, and why might someone (or their spouse) be sensitive about it? Pinkett Smith then pivoted …
