Jada Pinkett Smith hopes Will Smith and Chris Rock can reconcile their differences | Entertainment

Jada Pinkett Smith briefly addressed the Oscars slap incident on Wednesday’s episode of “Red Table Talk.”
Pinkett Smith’s husband, Will Smith, took the stage at the Oscars in March and slapped presenter Chris Rock after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s cropped haircut.
The actress suffers from alopecia, which causes hair loss.
On her Facebook Watch show, Pinkett Smith guested on the mother of 12-year-old Rio Allred, who took her own life after being bullied for having alopecia.
“This is a very important ‘Red Table Talk’ on alopecia. Considering what I went through and what happened at the Oscars, thousands of people have reached out to me with their stories,” Pinkett Smith said on the show, “I’m taking this time to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to educate people about what it’s like. actually alopecia.”
She then addressed the incident between her husband and Rock.
“Now, on Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two smart, capable men will have the opportunity to heal, to talk about it, and to reconcile. The state of the world today, we we both need them, and we all need each other more than ever,” she said. “Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have been doing for the past 28 last few years, and it’s continuing to understand this thing called living together. Thank you for your attention.”
It was Pinkett Smith’s first public remarks about what happened at the Oscars. In April, a title card at the start of her show read, “Given everything that has happened over the past few weeks, the Smith family has been focused on deep healing. Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared around the table when the time comes. Until then, the table will continue to offer powerful, inspiring and healing testimonies like that of our incredibly impressive first guest.
Her husband publicly apologized to Rock and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in a statement after the incident.
The Academy banned Smith from attending the Oscars for a decade as punishment.
