Jada Pinkett Smith is revealing what happened off camera immediately after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage at the 2022 Academy Awards. On March 27, 2022, millions of viewers watched Smith approach Rock and slap him after he poked fun at Pinkett Smith — who has opened up about having alopecia — and her shaved head. Some viewers then saw Smith return to his seat and yell to Rock, “Keep my wife’s name out your f—ing mouth.
And he profusely apologized, and that was that.” In her interview with Hoda, Pinkett Smith also discusses the public response to Smith’s behavior the night of the Oscars. Hoda points out how surprising it was to see Smith so riled up. “It’s totally out of character,” the TODAY co-anchor says. Pinkett Smith agrees, adding, “It’s not him whatsoever.” Since Smith’s actions were so shocking, some critics suggested that Pinkett Smith was to blame for his outburst.
