Jada Pinkett Smith Breaks Silence After Will Smith Apologized For Slapping Chris Rock

Jada Pinkett Smith is breaking her silence, days after her husband Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the 94th annual Academy Awards.

Moments before accepting the Academy Award for best actor Sunday, Smith stormed the Oscars stage and smacked Rock across the face over the comedian's joke about Pinkett Smith possibly starring in a "G.I. Jane" sequel due to her shaved head.

Two days after the altercation, Pinkett Smith took to Instagram to post a message about healing.

"This is a season for healing and I'm here for it," her post read.

Pinkett Smith received support from her followers, who left sweet messages and heart emojis in the comments section.

"We love you," one person commented. Another follower appeared to agree with the "Matrix Resurrections" actress' post, writing "We are in it, Queen! It's such a blessing."

Pinkett Smith's post came shortly after her husband issued a public apology to Rock for hitting him onstage.

The "King Richard" star took to Instagram Monday to post a lengthy statement in which he called his actions "unacceptable and inexcusable."

"Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive," Smith wrote, before explaining, "Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally."

"I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong," he continued. "I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."

An unnamed source told TMZ that Rock was not aware that Pinkett Smith's hair loss was due to alopecia and would not have joked about her bald head if he had been because the comedian "doesn't have a mean bone in his body."

Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggles with alopecia over the past years.

Less than a week before the Oscars, she spoke about her hair journey in a video on TikTok that she captioned: "Crown Act. Be proud of your crown. #iamnotmyhair #hairjourney."

"Being a Black woman and dealing with hair in Hollywood, in the era I came up in, having your hair look as European as possible was always the thing, and that was really challenging, you know, because I liked my hair out wild and curly," she said in the clip. "But nobody wanted that, so I always had to do my hair in ways that didn't feel natural to me because I'm trying to play the game."

But Pinkett Smith said she's learned to have the courage to refuse suggestions and demands to change the way her hair looks.

"Which is why I feel the freedom today – I don't give two craps what people think of this bald head of mine. Because guess what? I love it," Pinkett Smith said.

While Rock has declined to press charges against Smith over the slap, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said it has launched a "formal review" into the incident and will "explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law."
