Jada Pinkett Smith Shared Her First Comments Since The Oscars & Fans Want A Red Table Talk

Can she get Will Smith & Chris Rock to talk it out?

Global Staff Writer

Jada Pinkett Smith has finally broken her silence since the infamous Oscars moment involving her husband and Chris Rock, and she's trying to keep a positive outlook.

The actress and talk show host shared a post on Instagram on Tuesday in her first comment after Will Smith slapped Rock on stage for making a joke about her shaved head.

Pinkett Smith posted a photo of text that reads: "This is a season for healing and I'm here for it."

Comments have been limited on the post, but so far, the replies show support for the actress and her struggle with alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss.

The post comes after a dramatic night at the Oscars on Sunday, where Rock teased Pinkett Smith about her baldness.

"Jada, I love ya! G.I. Jane 2, can't wait to see it," he said.

Smith then marched onto the stage and slapped the comedian.

He went back to his seat after the slap and shouted: "keep my wife's name out of your f**king mouth!"

Smith has since issued a public apology to Rock, saying he was "out of line" and "wrong."

Pinkett Smith is well known for hosting candid Red Table Talk chats on Facebook, and many are hoping that she'll address the Oscar incident on the show.

If that were to go down, she, along with her husband Will Smith and Chris Rock, would hopefully sit at the famous round red table and talk about what happened.

As CNN points out, the wording in Pinkett Smith's post echoes a tweet she shared in 2020, just before she and Will sat down to discuss their marriage and Pinkett Smith's "entanglement."

Pinkett Smith has covered a bunch of famous Hollywood feuds and scandals on her show.

To name one, she brought on Jordyn Woods when she was accused of hooking up with Tristan Thompson, the father of Khloe Kardashian's child True.

Covering messy topics is not new for the show, and it makes sense that people are expecting Pinkett Smith to address the Oscars.

One Twitter user wrote, "Ok fine I'll finally watch an episode of red table talks if it's gonna address today's theatrics."

"A lot of people are going to need red table talks after this……," said another user.

Pinkett Smith had not said whether Red Table Talk will address the incident as of Wednesday morning, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
