Jada Pinkett Smith has said she thought “this is a skit” when her husband Will Smith stormed the stage and slapped Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars ceremony.
The actress, 52, also revealed she and Will, 55, had been separated for six years at the time of the incident. Will who was nominated for the best actor prize and went on to win, took the stage and slapped the comedian, who was hosting the ceremony, after he made a joke about his wife’s hair-loss.
Jada, who was sitting next to her estranged husband in the front row, has now told People Magazine: "I thought, ‘This is a skit' I was like, ‘There’s no way that Will hit him.' "It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realised it wasn’t a skit." She added that the first words she uttered to husband once they were alone after the show were: "Are you OK?" The pair's somewhat unconventional marriage has long been the subject of much speculation and the actress told the magazine: “We’re still figuring it out.
She said they had been separated for six years before the Oscars in 2022, adding: “We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together. “We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.” Jada had previously denied that the couple have an open relationship when speculation about the state of their marriage reached fever pitch in 2020, when the actress revealed she had had an “entanglement” with singer August Alsina, 31.
