Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of Will Smith, has shared her first message following the controversy that rocked the Oscars at the weekend.
On Sunday night, her husband stormed the stage and hit Chris Rock, the comedian, who had just made a joke at her expense. Smith has since apologised to Rock and the Oscars for the attack, which came just minutes before he won best actor for his role in King Richard.
Referring to Pinkett Smith’s buzzcut, Rock had said: “Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2.” Smith then walked up on stage and appeared to hit him before returning to his seat and shouting: “Keep my wife’s name out of your ******* mouth.”
