Jaden Smith is speaking out after his father, Will Smith's, show-stopping moment at the 2022 Oscars. Jaden took to Twitter to seemingly defend his dad after the Oscar winner slapped comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife, and Jaden's mother, Jada Pinkett Smith.«And That’s How We Do It,» the 23-year-old tweeted.Poking fun at Jada's hair, Rock, who was presenting at the 94th annual Academy Awards joked, «Jada, I love ya. , can't wait to see it.»The quip prompted Jada to roll her eyes, but Rock quickly defended the crack at Jada's appearance, saying it was «a nice [joke],» despite being met with some uncomfortable reaction from the audience.It wasn't long after that Will made his way onto the stage, shocking the chuckling comedian and the world, with an open-handed slap to his cheek. «Oh, wow,» he immediately reacted, as Will walked offstage.The sound on the Oscars broadcast suddenly cut out after Rock said Will's name in reaction.

And as the camera panned back to Will's seat, though there was no sound, you could clearly read what the  actor shouted at Rock.«Leave my wife's name out of your f**king mouth,» Will yelled back at the comedian.And That’s How We Do ItRock's joke may have hit a nerve for the couple, as Jada has spoken publicly about having alopecia, a hair loss condition for which she was diagnosed with in 2018.And it's not the first time Rock has made a joke at Jada's expense either.

At the 2016 Academy Awards, which Rock hosted, Pinkett Smith was mocked by the comedian in his opening monologue.Rock skewered the actress, joking, «Jada said she's not coming.

I was like, 'Isn't she on a TV show? Jada's gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties.
