In a video filmed by a member of the public during the Oscars ceremony and posted on social networks, Jada Pinkett Smith looks hilarious after the slap inflicted on comedian Chris Rock.
The actress is filmed from behind, but we can clearly see her react when Chris Rock tries to come to his senses by letting go: “Will Smith has just stuck one on me”. Shortly after, Jada Pinkett Smith’s husband demands that the comedian keep his wife’s name “out of (s)ap *** from mouth” twice. A scene that the actress seems to watch without flinching, which, according to the opinion of several Internet users, reinforces the confusion on the fact that it could be a staging organized by the two men. The video has been viewed over 400,000 times on Tik Tok.
After the affair, Jada Pinkett Smith had taken some time to react before posting on her Instagram page an enigmatic message: “It is the season of healing. And I am.” Will Smith meanwhile publicly apologized to the comedian. The Academy of Oscars has announced the launch of disciplinary proceedings against him and must meet again on April 18 to decide on possible sanctions.
Chris Rock is currently on tour for his new show. During the first performance given last Wednesday, the comedian quickly mentioned the case by letting the public know: “So how was your weekend?” Before continuing: “I am still digesting what happened. So at some point I’m going to talk about this stuff. And it will be serious and funny”.
