Shortly after Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she and Will Smith have been separated since 2016, she spoke about Will smacking Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars for making a joke about her baldness.
"Chris came down to the end of the stage and tried to apologize to me," Jada told People. "He said, 'I didn't mean you any harm.' I said, 'I can't talk about this now, Chris.' This is some old sh*t … Their stuff that they had before I even came into the picture in the late '80s. I’ve got to leave that to Will and Chris to talk about, but they got their stuff, for sure."
Jada was later asked if she was offended by the joke.
"I mean, that's what comedians do," she answered. "I'll say that several times I've had my feelings hurt, for sure. I've had my feelings hurt a lot by Chris."
Plus, there's a plot twist in all this, because Jada revealed that Chris once tried to date her.
"I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce," Jada recalled. "And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce. So he called me and basically he was like, 'I'd love to take you out.' And I was like, 'What do you mean?' He was like, 'Well, aren't you and Will getting a divorce?' I was like, 'No. Chris, those are just rumors.' He was appalled and he profusely apologized and that was that."
