The host of the talk show “Red Table Talk”, Jada PinkettShe spoke for the first time this Wednesday about the incident in which her husband was the famous actor Will SmithShe surprised the Oscar presenter. Chris Rockwith a slap in the face after making a lewd comment about her shaved head picture.
The remarks were framed by the discussion on the topic of alopecia – a condition Pinkett is facing – which began a new season of the interview room on Facebook today.
“This is a really important red table conversation about alopecia. Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have come to me with their stories,” the host said, according to Variety’s digital version. “I’m taking this time to give our alopecia family the opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to educate people about what alopecia really is.”
Of the slap in the face that cost Smith a 10-year suspension from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, he was blunt: “Now, on Oscars night, my deepest hope is that these two smart and capable men will have a chance to heal, talk about it, and make up. The state of the world today needs you both. And we all need each other more than ever“.
He said goodbye with an expression that seems to have silenced rumors of a possible divorce.
“Until then, Will and I will continue to do what we’ve been doing for the past 28 years, which is continue to explore this thing called living together. Thanks,” he said goodbye.
Chris Rock has not spoken publicly about the incident, although he did make light references during his stand-up comedy tour.
