<p>After two years of subdued celebration with a limited audience and winners connecting remotely, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made great efforts to make the 2022 edition of the Oscar awards a grand success. It tried to cut short the awards by televising certain categories before going live, it included mentions of films that were voted by the audiences, it brought several legends on stage and even celebrated some iconic films at the event. Yet, 2022 will go down in history for Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock on stage over a joke on the former's wife.</p>

<p>First thing first, roast comedy has been a part of Oscars for decades where the hosts and a bunch of comedians and even actors come up on stage, take a jibe at their peers, their films before announcing awards. Sunday night was no different. Before Chris Rock, host Regina Hall too took a jibe at Smiths' open marriage which the couple smiled and seemingly took in their stride.</p>

<p>Rock's joke on Jada Pinkett Smith's hair was in bad taste. Pinkett Smith has been dealing with alopecia, an auto-immune disorder that leads to hair loss for years now and has been quite vocal about her struggle. Rock's comparison of her bald head to Demi Moore's look from 1997 'G.I. Jane' movie was rather unnecessary. Yet, did it call for getting smacked on his face by Will Smith live on television? Hell, no!</p>

<p>What is it that makes certain men so consumed by their masculinity that they will feel they are the custodian of women's honour and if that honour has to be protected or defended, it has to be done through violence? As Jada sat sneering at Rock's comment, it was rather strange of Will Smith to walk up on stage and hit the comedian on his face! Sure, it was in bad taste. You don't like a joke, you can always take the person aside and tell him so. I would have even understood if Smith had just kept to his seat and said "Keep my wife's name out of your 'f-----ng' mouth." &nbsp;<br />
The slap was not needed in a ceremony that from the beginning was condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On one hand, the Academy was condemning war and on the other, the Best Actor recipient was getting the liberty to smack a presenter for a joke! How ironical.</p>

<p>Not only did Smith spoil the ceremony but also took away the focus from the winners of Best Documentary Feature- the category that Rock was on stage to announce. No one cared when the Oscar went to 'Summer Of Soul (Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised)' because everyone was in utter shock.</p>

<p>During the commercial break, Smith was seen being consoled by Denzel Washington, Tyler Perry and Bradley Cooper. But who went to console Chris Rock? In the power corridors of Hollywood, most felt Smith needed to be consoled but strangely no one was seen saying a word of comfort to Rock? Why this bizarre discrimination?</p>

<p>Smith continued to behave like a douche (for the lack of a better word) through the night. As he went up on stage to accept his best actor trophy for 'King Richard' he cried and apologised to the academy and his fellow nominees, keeping the focus on him and how he acted out of 'love' like a crazy dad. No sir, dads are protectors, but violence and love are two different things. His son, Jaden reacted with a tweet saying, "&nbsp;And That's How We Do It" seemingly proud of his father's action and win perhaps. Will basically gave out a wrong message to the younger lot making violence the solution for things one didn't agree on.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At a time when war, violence and toxic behaviour are being condemned globally, a Hollywood star's display of love for his wife on live TV just reiterated the fact that how much learning and unlearning we need to do as a society. Jada Pinkett Smith has a voice of her own and uses social media as an able tool to speak on issues. Did she need her man to go up on stage and display how strong he is in front of the world? No. Did she at any point seem vulnerable that made Smith walk up on stage to protect her honour? No again.</p>

The Smiths have been open about their marriage and life in general. Be it on chat shows, where Jada Pinkett Smith had famously admitted to having cheated on Will Smith, to Smith writing in his memoir about their open marriage and hinting at how he had too philandered in the marriage, everything about their lives has been out in the open.

<p>Smith eventually <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-will-smith-apologizes-to-chris-rock-for-slapping-him-at-oscars-466511">issued an apology to Rock on social media</a>, perhaps as an afterthought when the Academy announced that it was weighing on the incident, and may take appropriate action, including possibly revoking his best actor Oscar. The apology came after a night of partying where Smith was seen dancing the night away, celebrating his win. The photographs did not somehow show a man who had any regret for his actions even though he mentioned he was 'wrong' in his apology a day later.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But doesn't the actor owe an apology to first-time winners Jessica Chastain, the makers of 'Summer Of Soul', Jane Campion, Troy Kostur and others who had the biggest night of their career getting completely overshadowed by a privileged, self-oriented man and his weird sense of responsibility? When will Will Smith issue an apology to them?</p>

<p>It was a night when a queer Latino woman won an Oscar (Adriana DeBose), a &nbsp;deaf man won for his performance(Troy Kotsur) and two female filmmakers were honoured for their work and it took two men to completely overshadow their moment under the sun with stupidity and violence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Where's the apology for that?</p>

Will Smith should apologise to all for spoiling Oscars 2022 with his toxic masculinity

<p>Hair loss among women is painful, depressing and embarrassing, according to Jada Pinkett Smith and other celebrities who have gone public with their feelings.</p>

<p>The subject has rushed into the public consciousness after Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about Pinkett Smith's lack of hair at the Oscars.</p>

<p>Pinkett Smith spoke out for the first time in 2018 about her diagnosis of alopecia, a medical term referring to the loss of hair.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-what-is-alopecia-areata-the-disorder-that-will-smiths-wife-jada-suffers-from-466376" hreflang="en">What is Alopecia Areata? The disorder that Will Smith's wife Jada suffers from</a></p>

<p>"It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking with fear," the actress and director said on her online show "Red Table Talk."</p>

<p>"And that was when I was like, 'Oh, my God. Am I going bald?'"</p>

Jada Pinkett Smith is sharing her personal life details! During a special episode of 'Red Table Talk' with the guest, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jada talked about her sex life with Will Smith. "It's hard," Pinkett Smith said. "The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey. We started in this at a very young age, you know, 22 years old. That's why the accountability part really hit for me because I think you expect your partner to know [what you need], especially when it comes to sex. It's like, 'Well, if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.' That's a huge pitfall." Will Smith and Jada Pinkett: A Timeline of their romance, marriage and cheating rumours Paltrow, who appeared for promoting her Netflix series 'S*x, Love & Goop', replied, "Isn't it weird, though? It's like someone doesn't read your mind and we feel crushed." "Crushed!" Jada replied, adding, "You tell me what you need. Tell me what you want, and on top of it, I know that I have to be accountable to do the same...I really try."

"Jada never believed in conventional marriage… Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship," Will said of his wife of 23 years. "So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up. There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection."<br />
<br />
"We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison. And I don’t suggest our road for anybody.

Jada Pinkett Smith shows off new forearm tattoo featuring Hindu goddess

<p>Singer Gloria Estefan is turning chat show host with a new season of 'Red Table Talk: The Estefans'.</p>

<p>The show is a spin off from jada Pinkett Smitgh's Facebook watch series and Gloria will co-host with daughter, singer Emily Estefan and her niece Lili.<br />
<br />
The first episode will have the veteran singer talking about her daughter's coming story to help the Latin community to tackle issues like sexuality more freely.<br />
<br />
"Emily came out three years ago," Gloria told 'The Talk' on Tuesday, "and no one knows because we really never had the reason or opportunity to talk about how we dealt with it as a family."<br />
<br />
"It was important for her (Emily) to talk about it (on the new show) and it was important for us to put it on the table. We share so much of our personal lives and private lives through (social media) that we wanted to use it in a good way, a healing way."<br />
<br />
The veteran singer admitted that the chat between her and Emily got heated a bit but her niece played the "referee".<br />

Singer Gloria Estefan is turning chat show host with a new season of 'Red Table Talk: The Estefans'. The show is a spin off from jada Pinkett Smitgh's Facebook watch series and Gloria will co-host with daughter, singer Emily Estefan and her niece Lili. The first episode will have the veteran singer talking about her daughter's coming story to help the Latin community to tackle issues like sexuality more freely. "Emily came out three years ago," Gloria told 'The Talk' on Tuesday, "and no one knows because we really never had the reason or opportunity to talk about how we dealt with it as a family." "It was important for her (Emily) to talk about it (on the new show) and it was important for us to put it on the table. We share so much of our personal lives and private lives through (social media) that we wanted to use it in a good way, a healing way." The veteran singer admitted that the chat between her and Emily got heated a bit but her niece played the "referee". "It's important," she added, "because some people are going through these types of things. We hope to at least get it out there and speak about it, especially in the Latin community. So many things are taboo - like everything is taboo. My mother never even kissed my father 'til they were married by the church." The episode will air on October 7

Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkett tweets on affair rumours: Some healing needs to happen

<p>Actor Jada Pinkett Smith put her husband-actor Will Smith in the hot seat by confronting him about his drinking habit.<br />
<br />
In a new episode of the American talk show 'Red Table Talk', co-host Jada confronted her husband Will about his alcohol consumption habits and the 'Aladdin'&nbsp;star was taken aback, reported Fox News".<br />
<br />
How often are you drinking alcohol?" she asked in a clip obtained by Entertainment Tonight. Will, who was put in an awkward spot by his wife, responded, "That's my personal business, Jada. I respect that it's your show, but at the end of the day, it's a house we share.<br />
I know, I get it," Jada said.<br />
<br />
The moment was definitely not an intervention. However, she did poke fun at Will for getting a little too tipsy at his son Jaden's 21st birthday party in July.<br />
<br />
"On vacation time...it was a lot. Cause it's in front of my kids, it's like now I'm being a bad parent," Will said. However, his tone became more serious as he answered the original question about how much has he been drinking.<br />
<br />
"One or two a week," he replied. The 'Men In Black'&nbsp;star has been open about his drinking habit in the past.<br />
<br />
In his Facebook Watch series, 'Bucket List', Will got real about his alcohol consumption while training for a half-marathon back in March.<br />
<br />
"I think of all the bucket lists, this is the one I'm most concerned about. Like, in my deepest honesty with myself, I really am not sure if I can run 13 miles.<br />
<br />
Being this far out of shape is kind of a little bit new for me. I didn't drink for over a decade," he admitted.<br />
<br />
"During my rise as a movie star, I was, like, wildly disciplined, so being in this place in my life, even something as simple as taking my shirt off while I'm out of shape, like, you know, this for me now allowing myself to be seen less than optimally is new," Will added.<br />
<br />
Not just Will, his lady love, Jada has also been candid about her addiction issues in the past and how maintaining her sobriety has been a journey.<br />
<br />
"Alcoholism and drug addiction runs through my family and I've had my own addiction that I've had to get over. It's just made me realize that really great people just get caught up," she shared on a previous 'RTT'&nbsp;episode.<br />
<br />
"When I was younger, I definitely think I had a sex addiction of some kind everything could be fixed by sex.<br />
<br />
Then I became a gym addict," Jada explained. However, she realised she had an issue when home alone one night.<br />
<br />
"I remember reaching a rock bottom that time I was in the house by myself and I had those two bottles of wine and was going for the third bottle. And I was like, 'Now hold up. You're in this house by yourself going onto your third bottle of wine? You might have a problem'," Jada said.<br />

Jada Pinkett confronts husband Will Smith about his alcohol consumption

<p>Jada Pinkett Smith recently got candid about her relationship with husband and actor Will Smith and also disclosed the struggles in their life as a couple.</p>

<p>According to People, the couple, who started dating in 1995 and married in 1997, are often seen talking about their relationship especially on Pinkett Smith`s hit Facebook Watch show `Red Table Talk`, where Smith as a guest sat down for an eye-opening talk with his wife.</p>

<p>In a new interview with The Guardian and as reported by People, the 47-year-old host shed light on why they chose a public platform to disclose intimate details with the public."I knew that I was not built for conventional marriage," Pinkett Smith said.</p>

<p>"Even the word `wife`: it`s a golden cage, swallow the key. Even before I was married, I was like, `That`ll kill me.` And it damn near did! So why wouldn`t you share what you`ve been through, when you see that other people are out there, trying to figure this crap out? We decided to make it public because it`s part of the healing. I feel like if we don`t have real understanding about it, I don`t know if interpersonal relationships are possible," she said.</p>

<p>Pinkett clarified that it was the label of marriage as a whole that made her hesitant -- not the nature of her relationship with Smith.</p>

<p>"Will is my life partner and I could not ask for a better one. I adore him, I never want people to think it was Will I didn`t want to marry," she continued.</p>

<p>"But I can assure you that some of the most powerful women in the world feel caged and tied, because of the sacrifices they have to make to be in that position. So I wanted to talk about how we really feel about marriage."</p>

<p>In a recent People cover story, Pinkett opened up about feeling "depleted" while she was going through a rough time both personally and with her husband. But she knew that things would be good if they worked together."I am kind of a ride-or-die chick," she told People. "I just knew with the kind of love that Will and I share -- which is beyond romantic love -- that we could transform our union and figure out how to re-create what we had."&nbsp;</p>

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith share emotional wishes on son Jaden's birthday

<p>"It`s like when you just don`t have control over emotions, your thoughts, you feel completely and utterly out of control," explained American actor Jada Pinkett Smith as she opened up about her battle with severe depression.</p>

<p>`The Girls Trip` star, who never holds back when it comes to speaking out about her mental health issues, got candid about how she battled depression 'for years'&nbsp;during her Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk.</p>

<p>In the clip, Jada talks to her daughter, Willow Smith, and mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, about how, during that time, waking up in the morning was the "worst part" of the day, confirmed US Weekly.</p>

<p>"I was severely depressed, severely," said Jada. "And that was something that I battled with for years. Waking up in the morning was like the worst part of the day."</p>

<p>She also explained that it would take her "hours" to get through it each day. Earlier in June, following the suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Jada opened up about her mental health battle.</p>

<p>She wrote that the deaths of Bourdain and Spade "brought up feelings of when I was in such despair and had considered the same demise...often. In the years I spent towards my healing, many moons ago, I realized the mind and heart can be extremely delicate without the foundation of a formidable spirit."</p>
