This week, Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed the three words she uttered to her husband Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock across the face at the 2022 Oscars. Jada, 52, explained to People that initially she thought the incident was simply a skit.
"I thought, 'This is a skit'," Jada said. "I was like, 'There's no way that Will hit him.'"
The incident occurred when Chris Rock made a joke about Jada's shaved head, which is due to alopecia. Will, 55, responded by jumping on stage and slapping the 58-year-old comedian. As Will walked away from Chris, he famously shouted: "Keep my wife's name out of your f****** mouth."
Jada revealed that her first words to Will were: "Are you OK?"
Just minutes later, Will won the Academy Award for best actor thanks to his performance in King Richard. However, Will ended up being banned from all Academy events for an entire decade.
Jada and Will have been married since 1997 and share two children, Willow and Jaden Smith. Recently, the couple have been drawing attention due to Jada's involvement in an "entanglement" with August Alsina during the course of their relationship.
Jada said that she and Will quietly split in 2016 and have been living "completely separate lives" since. "We're still figuring it out," she said. "We've been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just have deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us."
It's been a wild few years for the couple, but they seem to be on the path to figuring out what their relationship looks like now.
