At the ticketed event, she was seen chatting with the audience about her life and career while beaming.
Last year, Jada – who suffers from alopecia – was the butt of a joke from Chris Rock at last year’s Oscars.
The gag caused Will to punch the comedian in the face, but Jada decided to stay by Will’s side in the controversy, even though they had already broken up at that point.
During his appearance on The One Show in October, Jada said: “I knew there would be a strong reaction.” And that was the moment I decided to stay by his side.
“You know, it’s funny how intense situations can make love stronger, and it was a pretty difficult time, but it definitely brought us closer together.” So yeah, it’s crazy how things work.
She added: “I would say that Will and I chose a relationship that was in line with our desires and so we had our breakup and then the Oscars came along and we’re definitely on a different path.”
“But I’m certainly not going to say it’s done in a traditional way.” “We’ve decided to live together in a way that works for us.”
In the explosive memoir, she reveals how the dynamics of her marriage to the famous actor and Will changed after the Oscars.

Making it work: The American actress also revealed how she and Will made the mutual decision to work towards a ‘non-traditional relationship’ given their past (pictured in March)
The couple had secretly separated six years before the incident, and Jada – made up of Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22, with her estranged husband – finally confessed that the incident came as a complete shock.
She said: “I don’t think he’ll come on stage in a million years and that has something to do with me!”
Speaking to Red Magazine, she added: “Then the relationship becomes deeper than romance or all the crap that comes with marriage.”
“I was just really worried about Will. And in that moment I realized that no matter how challenging our relationship may be, I will always be by his side no matter what.”
