The actress has made it clear that she did not need to be protected. “I didn’t do it and I wouldn’t do it in any way”
Jada Pinkett-Smith has gone a step further in her rejection of the events that occurred “in her name” during the gala of the Oscars 2022.
For those who live on Mars and have not heard anything, Chris Rock made a joke in bad taste (but a joke, after all) about the alopecia of Jada Pinkettsomething about which the actress had already made it clear in the past that she was not affected by criticism. Will Smith, her husband, got up from his chair, slapped host Chris Rock with an open hand, turned around and sat back down. A while later, he got back up from his seat to collect the Oscar for Best Leading Actor and receive a standing ovation from the public.
Until now, the only public statement regarding the actress was a publication on Instagram that read as follows: “It’s healing time, and I’m here for it.”
However, in new statements in American Weekly Jada has gone a step further in her rejection of the aggression committed by her husband:
“I never said I needed protection, it was in the heat of the action and he was the one who exaggerated, but I didn’t and I wouldn’t in any way.”
While, Will Smith has entered a rehabilitation center to deal with the pressure of the media mess that has caused and faces possible sanctions by the Academy, in addition to the fact that several of his projects are being slowed down or directly cancelled.
The famous incident began when Chris Rock came out on stage to present the award for Best Documentary. Before naming the nominees, Rock did a short Ricky Gervais-style monologue, picking on the crowd a bit. He first made a joke with Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, saying that Bardem was going to have a bad night if he won the Oscar and his wife didn’t. Laughter and revelry. Then it was the turn of the Smith couple.
“Jada, I love you, I can’t wait to see you in ‘Lieutenant O’Neil 2’“Says the comedian, alluding to the alopecia problem suffered by the actress. And that’s where it gets involved.
We see how Jada Pinkett-Smith’s face turns serious, the camera turns to Rock and he cuts off his speech with a “oh, here comes Will”. Will Smith crosses his face, turns around, and goes back to his seat. Chris Rock, stunned, expresses a “Wow, Will Smith gave me a shit.”
