Jada Pinkett Smith breaks silence after the Oscars incident

Jada Pinkett Smith has broken her silence after her husband’s violent interaction with comedian Chris Rock on the night of the 94^th Academy Awards

In one of the more shocking scenes of the Oscars history, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after a joke Rock made about Jada’s bald head was received in bad taste by the couple because of the actress’s history of struggle with Alopecia.  

The Red Table Talk actress kept quiet as the drama unfolded but has finally come out with her own statement on Instagram.

“This is a season for healing and I’m here for it,” Jada’s statement reads.

This comes just a day after Will Smith’s apology statement to Chris Rock and the Academy.

“I am embarrassed, and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be,” he says in his own Instagram post.
