Jada Pinkett Smith has spoken out on social media for the first time after her husband Will Smith hit Chris Rock onstage at the 94th annual Academy Awards.
Chris Rock was on the Oscar stage to present the award for best documentary when he began by making a few jokes about members of the show’s audience, including Pinkett Smith—referring to her as “G.I. Jane” due to her closely cropped hair.
Shortly after the joke was made, Will Smith walked to the stage and slapped the comedian across the face. He then returned to his seat and shouted, “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.”
Speaking on social media for the first time, the actress took to Instagram to write: “This is a season for healing and I’m here for it.”
She restricted her comment section after sharing the post.
