WATCH: Jada Pinkett Smith finally addresses the Oscars slap
Jada Pinkett Smith believes that Will Smith and Chris Rock will reach a place of healing and reconciliation following the Oscars slap.
Actor Will Smith and the multi-talented Jada Pinkett Smith have been together for over 25 years and share two kids together; Jaden and Willow Smith. On the night of the 94th Academy Awards, comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Jada’s hair, which resulted in Will slapping Chris.
Following the incident at the Oscars, Will Smith has been barred from attending the Academy Awards for the next ten years.
