In a recent tell-all with the Daily Mail, Jada Pinkett Smith shared a surprising perspective on her marriage with Will Smith, highlighting the pivotal role of the 2022 Oscars incident in solidifying their relationship. The incident, where Will Smith confronted comedian Chris Rock on stage, brought clarity and a newfound commitment to their union, according to Pinkett Smith.
“Facing the prospect of walking away from Will for years, it was that Oscars night episode that made me realize our bond is unbreakable,” Pinkett Smith disclosed in the interview. This revelation comes after years of speculation and public scrutiny surrounding their marriage, which began in 1997.
The couple’s relationship journey took a significant turn seven years ago, as Pinkett Smith explained in an NBC special with Hoda Kotb. They experienced a mental and emotional separation, although they didn’t legally part ways. Despite the challenges, they maintained a unified appearance in the public eye.
The turning point came during the Academy Awards ceremony when Will Smith reacted to Rock’s joke about Pinkett Smith’s hair, affected by alopecia. This moment, termed by Pinkett Smith as the “holy slap,” inadvertently became a catalyst for positive change in their relationship. “It was almost a divine intervention, showing us where we truly stand,” she added.
As Pinkett Smith embarks on the promotion of her new memoir, “Worthy,” released on October 17, she reflects on the transformative power of the events that unfolded on that Oscars night, reshaping her and Will Smith’s journey together.
