Jada Pinkett Smith leaves silence after Will Smith beats Chris Rock at the Oscars: 'Healing Season'
On Monday, Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock, saying he was "reacting emotionally" to "Jada's health joke." On Sunday, Jada Pinkett Smith spoke two days after her husband, Will Smith, met Chris Rock on phase at the 94th Annual Academy Awards.
The actress posted a note on her Instagram account, "This is a healing season, and that's what I'm here for."
Jada's remarks came after Will, 53, apologized to himself on Monday, writing: "Violence in all its forms is toxic and destructive. My behavior at the Oscars last night was unacceptable and unforgivable. Jokes about me are part of the job. But jokes about Jade's health were too harsh for me, and I reacted emotionally." "I want to apologize publicly, Chris," actor King Richard continued on Line, and I was wrong. I am ashamed, and my actions do not indicate the man I want to be. There is no place for Violence in the world of love and kindness."
"I also want to apologize to the Academy, the show's producers, everyone present, and everyone watching the world. I am deeply sorry that my behavior ruined an amazing journey for us, " concluded Smith. The incident came on Sunday night after the 57-year-old comedian joked about Jada's hair, saying in part: "Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2 can't wait to meet you."
The comment refers to Demi Moore's bald head in the film G.I. jane Jada recently opened up about her baldness, revealing that it results from years of living with alopecia. The Girls Trip actress was not amused by the joke and rolled her eyes.
Seconds later, Will came up on stage, walked up to Rocco, and punched him in front of the crowd and the millions of people in the house. Then, Will yells at a dumbfounded Rock at his desk, "Keep my wife's name out of your mouth," and stays with Jada at his desk until the end of the night.
When Will won the Best Actor award later at the ceremony, he apologized to the Academy and fellow nominees but made no mention of Roca at the time. Instead, he spoke of the power of love and protection in his tearful speech, saying, "Love makes you do crazy things."
Rock has not commented on the incident and declined to press charges. Will, Jada, and their family celebrate winning the Oscar at the after-party Sunday night, dancing and posing with statues.
On Monday afternoon, the Academy said: "The Academy condemns Mr. Smith's actions at last night's event. We have officially begun a formal investigation into the incident and will investigate further measures and consequences by California regulations, standards of conduct, and law. We.
