She, however, did not mention the incident specifically.
Actress and Westbrook founder Jada Pinkett-Smith promoted ‘healing’ in her first public comment since the Oscars incident on March 27th, Sunday evening (March 28th, Monday morning, EAT).
In an Instagram post made on Tuesday evening, Pinkett Smith posted a picture with a quote that read,”This is a season for healing. And I’m here for it.” The post was not accompanied by a caption and did not mention Chris Rock’s joke or the slapping incident specifically.
On Sunday evening, Will Smith unexpectedly strode onto the Oscars stage and slapped Chris in the face in response to a joke about his wife’s bald head. Pinkett Smith suffers from Alopecia, a medical condition that causes hair loss. On Monday, Will Smith apologized to the comedian, the film academy, the show’s producers and viewers, saying his behaviour was unacceptable and he had “reacted emotionally” to a joke about his wife’s medical condition.
Chris Rock has not publicly commented about the incident.
