Jada Pinkett Smith has broken her silence after Will Smith’s Oscars slap.

If you’ve somehow managed to evade this news, here’s a quick recap. Chris Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, which is a result of her alopecia. This caused her husband, Will, to walk on the Oscars stage and give Rock a big live TV slap.
This isn’t the first time the comedian has picked on Pinkett Smith. At the 2016 Oscars, during the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, Pinkett Smith decided to sit out in protest. Rock joked that she was only boycotting because she wasn’t invited. The Madagascar star has been long criticized for his degrading takes on Black women.
