At the end of March, the Oscars were held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angelesthese awards are known for their fraternity among the participants, but this time they were stained by the slap that Will Smith gave Chris Rock.

Shortly thereafter, Will Smith publicly apologized to Chris Rock and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but we know little about Jada’s opinion.

However, on a recent broadcast of “Red Table Talk,” a show starring Jada Smith Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Will Smith’s wife had a word about the altercation.

Jada’s first comments about the incident

In the program “Red Table Talk”, which is broadcast on Facebook Watch, host Jada Smith had as a guest the mother of a boy named Rio Allred, 12 years old, who committed suicide due to a serious case of bullying due to hisalopecia.

“This is a really important ‘red table talk’ on alopecia. Considering what I’ve been through and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have approached me with their stories”Jada said in the conversation.

Later, Jada commented on her husband’s performance at the Oscars:

“Now, on Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two smart and capable men will have a chance to heal, talk about this and reconcile. The state of the world today, we need both of you, and we need each other more than ever.”

“Until then, Will and I will continue to do what we’ve done for the last 28 years, and that is continue to work out this thing called life together. Thanks for listening“, he added.

Let’s not forget that in April, through a title card to kick off her show, Jada gave a message about the situation of Will Smith and his family:

“Given everything that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has been focused on deep healing. Some of the discoveries surrounding our healing will be shared at the table when the time calls. Until then, the table will remain offering up powerful, inspiring and healing testimonials like that of our incredibly impressive first guest.”

Before the start of the new season of his program, Pinkett Smith had already anticipated that at some point in it the subject of the controversial slap would be addressed, because in his family they had already focused on a “deep healing“.
