Jada Pinkett Smith made her first comment since her husband, Will Smith slap comedian Chris Rock on the title of Academy Awards or Oscar 2022.
While not mentioning Rock’s jokes or the slapping incident in particular, Pinkett made her first public comment in an Instagram post.
In the post, he talks regarding healing.
“This is the season for healing. And I’m here for it,” wrote the post in a pink background.
Previously, Will Smith himself has publicly apologized to Rock, the Academy, the show’s producers, and the entire audience and everyone who watched the event anywhere in the world, for his behavior.
Will Smith called his actions “unacceptable and unjustified”.
“Violence in all its forms is toxic and destructive. My behavior at the Academy Awards last night was unacceptable and unacceptable,” wrote Will Smith.
“The jokes in my world are part of the job, but jokes regarding Jada’s health condition are too much for me and I reacted emotionally,” he continued.
“I want to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I clearly crossed the line and I was wrong. I am ashamed and my actions do not represent the person I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world full of love and kindness,” said Will Smith. .
Will Smith suddenly stepped onto the Oscars stage on Sunday (27/3) and slapped Rock in the face in response to a joke regarding his wife’s bald head.
Pinkett Smith is known to suffer from alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss.
In his jokes, Chris Rock has referenced the 1997 film “GI Jane” in which actress Demi Moore shaved her head. It is unclear whether Rock was aware that Smith’s wife had an illness that causes hair loss.
Less than an hour following the attack on Rock, Will Smith was named best actor for his role in fathering tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams in “King Richard.”
As many as 9,900 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences condemned Smith’s actions at the 2022 Oscars and said they were reviewing the issue.
If the group determines that Smith violated his standards of conduct, members may expel the actor from the organization, revoke his Oscar award, or make him ineligible for future awards.
So far, Chris Rock has not commented publicly on the incident.
