It was the moment that defined the Oscars. One week on and Jada Pinkett Smith is reportedly “not angry” with her husband Will Smith after he slapped comedian Chris Rock

The 50-year-old has been fairly quiet following the controversy and says she understands Smith was “overreacting”

A source tells US weekly that Jada is rather unfazed by the slap that shocked the world at the Academy awards.

The source says the slap happened in the heat of the moment, adding she wasn’t “angry” but “wishes” he didn’t get physical with Rock.

Rock’s brother Kenny Rock has broken his silence in an interview with the Los Angeles Times

Kenny says his brother was not aware of Jada’s alopecia prior to making a joke about her bald head and agrees that is was not funny.

His brother added that if Chris Rock knew that she had alopecia … he wouldn’t have made a joke.

Kenny criticised the Academy for not immediately removing Smith from the Oscars ceremony after the slap.
