Jada Pinkett Smith has distanced herself from husband Will Smith following the controversy at the Oscars, accusing him of being "exaggerated" in his reaction to comedian Chris Rock's joke about her illness.
During the 2022 Oscars ceremony on March 28, Will Smith, nominated for Best Actor, attended with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The incident occurred during the presentation of the Best Documentary award when comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Jada's current battle with Alopecia, a condition causing significant hair loss.
The joke prompted an enraged response from Will Smith, who stood up, approached the stage, and slapped Chris Rock, instructing him not to mention his wife. The incident became the focal point of the night, sparking widespread discussions and reactions.
In a recent interview with American Weekly, Jada Pinkett Smith expressed her opinion on the matter, condemning her husband's actions. She stated, "I never said I needed protection; it was in the heat of the action, and he was the one who exaggerated, but I did not do it nor would I do it in any way."
These statements have left many speechless, as Jada explicitly criticizes her husband's actions, even though he acted in defense of her.
