Jada Pinkett Smith calls Will Smith's Oscar slap 'holy', says it saved her marriage

<p>Jada Pinkett-Smith recently disclosed that she and Will Smith have been living separate lives since 2016.</p>

<p>In a revealing interview with People, Jada disclosed, "We're still figuring it out. We've been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just have deep love for each other, and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us."</p>

<p>It was a moment that shook the 94th Academy Awards and also instantly bumped up the ceremony’s plummeting viewership ratings.</p>

<p>During the ceremony, comedian Chris Rock was one of the presenters — tasked with presenting an award. &nbsp;In his brief bit, he joked about Jada. While referring to her, he said he can’t wait to see G.I. Jane 2. In a 1997 war film, G.I. Jane, Demi Moore’s protagonist, a female Navy Seal, shaves her head. The joke targetted Jada’s lack of hair, which is due to the alopecia condition. At first, Will Smith appeared to laugh, but after looking at Jada’s eye-roll, he walked up to the stage and delivered a memorable slap that instantly became the most talked-about moment of the evening at the awards show.</p>

Jada Pinkett-Smith was shocked when Will Smith addressed her as ‘wife’

<p>Will Smith will very soon make his on-screen comeback with the most-discussed movie of the year, 'Emancipation.'&nbsp;Both Smith and his film have become the talk of the town, and all thanks go to his&nbsp;famous Oscar slapgate. On Wednesday, Will, along with his whole family, made a red carpet-comeback for the LA premiere of his film.<br />
<br />
The Oscar-winning actor walked the red carpet hand in hand with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. This was the couple's first public appearance since the infamous Oscar slap scandal in April of this year.<br />
<br />
For the event, Will chose to wear a three-piece wine-coloured suit paired with a pink shirt, and as always, he was looking dapper. Meanwhile, Jada was wearing a white voluminous gown with stone detailing. She added extra glam to her look by adding diamond jewellery.<br />

Will Smith will very soon make his on-screen comeback with the most-discussed movie of the year, 'Emancipation.' Both Smith and his film have become the talk of the town, and all thanks go to his famous Oscar slapgate. On Wednesday, Will, along with his whole family, made a red carpet-comeback for the LA premiere of his film. The Oscar-winning actor walked the red carpet hand in hand with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. This was the couple's first public appearance since the infamous Oscar slap scandal in April of this year. For the event, Will chose to wear a three-piece wine-coloured suit paired with a pink shirt, and as always, he was looking dapper. Meanwhile, Jada was wearing a white voluminous gown with stone detailing. She added extra glam to her look by adding diamond jewellery.

Will Smith's ex-wife Sheree hopes fans forgive the actor for Oscars slapgate

<p>It seems that American comedian Chris Rock is in no mood to address Will Smith's apology video, but is still okay&nbsp;making passing jokes about the Oscar incident. While performing on a stage in Atlanta on Friday night for his 'Chris Rock Ego Death World Tour',&nbsp;he addressed the infamous slap and called the 'Men In Black' actor 'Suge Smith'.</p>

<p>Rock's comments came&nbsp;hours after Smith posted a six-minute-long video to show how "deeply remorseful" he is for slapping the former during the Academy Awards in March.</p>

<p>"Everybody is trying to be a f---ing victim. If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims," Rock said. "Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith. I went to work the next day, I got kids."</p>

<p>Rock later quipped, "Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face."</p>

<p>Smith's latest apology video starts with the text, "Over the last few months, I've been doing a lot of thinking and personal work. You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer."</p>

<p>Smith is then seen entering a room and talking about&nbsp;his altercation with Rock. He explained&nbsp;why he didn't apologize to Rock during his Oscar win acceptance speech for best actor in 'King Richard'. "I was fogged out by that point," he said. "It's all fuzzy."</p>

<p>Smith also shared that he's tried to contact Rock, but he indicated that he's not ready to talk and will reach out when he feels comfortable. "So I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behaviour was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you are ready to talk," Smith adds.</p>

You asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer." Smith is then seen entering a room and talking about his altercation with Rock. He explained why he didn't apologize to Rock during his Oscar win acceptance speech for best actor in 'King Richard'. "I was fogged out by that point," he said. "It's all fuzzy." Smith also shared that he's tried to contact Rock, but he indicated that he's not ready to talk and will reach out when he feels comfortable. "So I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behaviour was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you are ready to talk," Smith adds.
