Jada Pinkett Smith has finally broken her silence about the Oscars incident that reverberated across the globe last year along with sharing a few things about her ‘secret’ separation with her husband Will Smith. The incident, famously dubbed ‘The Slap Heard ‘Round The World,’ involved her husband, Will Smith, slapping comedian Chris Rock during the prestigious Academy Awards ceremony just before he received his Academy Award for his performance in “King Richard.”
“I was like, ‘There’s no way that Will hit him,'” Pinkett Smith confessed to People magazine, revealing her initial disbelief about the incident. For those unfamiliar, the incident unfolded just moments before Will Smith received the Academy Award for his performance in “King Richard.” Chris Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s alopecia, likening her to a character from “G.I. Jane 2.”
