Jada Pinkett Finally Addresses Oscar Slap On Red Table Talk

On her 'Red Table Talk,' Jada Pinkett Smith has made her second public remark on the notorious Oscar slap.

On the June 1 edition of the popular Facebook series co-hosted by her daughter and mother, the actress spoke briefly about her husband, Will Smith, assaulting comedian Chris Rock.

Pinkett said she decided to talk about the issue because the episode centred on alopecia, an health condition that causes hair loss.

“This is a really important ‘Red Table Talk’ on alopecia. Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories,” Pinkett Smith said at the start of the episode.
“I’m using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia actually is.”

Smith had smacked Chris Rock on the Oscar stage over a joke about Pinkett's bald head, in case you missed it. The actor was later barred from the Academy for a period of ten years.

Pinkett commented on Smith's Oscar violence:

“Now about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile.”
“The state of the world today, we need them both. And we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening.”

The new episode of the show is currently streaming on Facebook.
