Jada Pinkett Smith Finally Addresses Will Smith Oscar Slap On Red Table Talk

Jada Pinkett Smith Finally Addresses Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscar On Red Table Talk

This Wednesday, Jada Pinkett Smith dropped a new episode of Red Table Talk where she spoke about alopecia. Before speaking with Niki Ball, the mother of 12-year-old Rio Allred, who suffered from alopecia and took her own life after being bullied, the actress began the segment with a solo statement into the camera. She said,

“This is a really important Red Table Talk on alopecia. Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories,” she began.

“I’m using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia really is.”

This important message comes months after the now-infamous 94th Academy Awards where her husband Will Smith slapped Oscars host Chris Rock in the face for joking about her bald head which she shaved due to her hair loss condition.

Finally addressing the wild moments, Jada says, “Now, about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile,” she continued.

“The state of our world today, we need them both and we all actually need one another more than ever.” She added, “Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years,” she concluded, “and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together.”

This is Jada Pinkett Smith’s first official statment since the incident. Following the slap down back in March, she only shared an Instgram post that read, “This is a season for healing. And I’m here for it.”
