As usual, this year’s Oscar was quite memorable, but this time the event garnered much headlines not because of its Golden Trophy or glamorous stars but because of Smith’s slap scandal.
Oscar-winning Best Actor Will Smith came into the spotlight when he slapped host Chris Rock during the show. This was followed by fierce criticism. In fact, host Chris made fun of Will Smith’s wife Jedda’s baldness, which made him angry and he lost his temper. For the first time since the slap scandal, Smith’s wife Jedda Pinkett Smith broke her silence by sharing a post on Instagram.
Jedda has shared a post on her Instagram account. In this post, she wrote that this is the season of healing and that is why I am here.
This post is being linked to the slap scandal.
In fact, host Chris mocked the baldness of Will Smith’s wife Jedda, saying that is why he was cast in the movie GI Jane. Jedda did not cut her hair for the film, she is battling Alopecia, which is why she does not have hair on her head. Will Smith did not like such a comment made for his wife. He went on stage and slapped Chris. People were stunned. Will Smith also warned Chris not to take his wife’s name out of his mouth again. Chris realized the mistake and ended the conversation by apologizing. However, Will Smith later apologized for the slap.
