Jada Pinkett Smith & daughter Willow address Will’s Oscars smack attack on Chris Rock during Red Table Talk premiere
Jada Pinkett Smith addressed the Oscar night actions of her husband, Will Smith, by not addressing them at all.
The season 5 premiere of Red Table Talk opened with a title card instead.

“Considering all that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has been focused on deep healing,” the opening titles read. “Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared at the table when the time calls.
“Until then the table will continue offering itself to powerful, inspiring and healing testimonies like that of our incredibly impressive first guest.”
Season 5 of the series then kicked off with guest Janelle Monáe.
SHOCK SLAP
The now unforgettable moment occurred when iconic standup comic Chris made a joke about Jada, 50, while on stage.
“Jada, I love you, G. I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it,” the former Saturday Night Live castmate, 57, joked.
Demi Moore famously shaved her head for her role in the 1997 movie.
Jada, on the contrary, has been struggling with hair loss for years due to her alopecia diagnosis, and last year decided to shave it all off.
Will then stormed the stage and hit the funnyman in what at first seemed like a stage bit before it all took a turn.
After the confrontation, a stunned Chris said: “Will Smith just smacked the s**t out of me.”
When the video restarted, Will did not look pleased, as he yelled at Chris: “Leave my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.”
THE FALLOUT
Just minutes later, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum had to give a speech for his Oscars win- however, he made no mention of Chris at all and didn’t apologize.
