Will Smith stunned the world as he slapped the comedian during the live telecast of Oscars 2022 after Rock compared Jada’s appearance to that of Demi Moore in G.I. Jane. Will Smith’s wife Jada, who recently opened up about living with alopecia, was visibly unamused, rolling her eyes from her seat.
However, viewers have seen the reaction of Will and Rock after their altercation. But they haven’t seen how Jada reacted after her husband slapped Chris Rock onstage. Meanwhile, the newly surfaced video is giving a closer look at Jada Pinkett Smith’s reaction after her husband Will Smith’s incident with Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. The clip, shared by TikTok user @305hoodhero, shows the aftermath of the moment Will slapped Rock onstage at L.A.’s Dolby Theatre.
And in the newly released clip, taken from behind the Smiths’ table, Will returns to his seat as Rock addresses the audience following the slap, saying, “Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me.” Jada seems to laugh at the line. Once back at his table, Will shouts to a stunned Rock, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.” Jada is seen sitting with her back straight as Rock replies, “Wow, dude, it was a G.I. Jane joke,” and Will repeats, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth!”
The actress keeps the same posture as Rock tells Will, “I’m going to, okay?”, and Jada seems to giggle when Rock finishes with, “That was the… greatest night in the history of television.” However, Will won Best Actor later in the ceremony, he apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees but didn’t mention Rock by name. In his tearful speech, he spoke about acting out of love and protection, saying, “Love makes you do crazy things.”
Will went on to publicly apologize to Rock on social media the following day. Meanwhile, Jada posted a message on her Instagram Tuesday that read, “This is a season for healing and I’m here for it.” Rock has so far declined to press charges but addressed the incident onstage for the first time Wednesday night at The Wilbur in Boston, telling a packed house during his late-night 10 p.m. show, “I haven’t talked to anyone, despite what you heard.”
