Jada Pinkett-Smith breaks silence after husband Will Smith's Oscars slap

Jade Pinkett-Smith has spoken out after the Oscars incident which saw her husband Will slap comedian Chris Rock.

During the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, host Mr Rock took things a little too far for Will Smith's liking. During a stand-up set, the Grown Ups star made a joke about Will's wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith's, alopecia - a condition that causes your hair to fall out.

On stage, Chris said: "Jada, can't wait for GI Jane 2." After cameras panned to Will Smith laughing, a few seconds later the star climbed onto the stage and slaps Chris across the face before shouting "Keep my wife's name out your f****** mouth" from his seat.
