Jada Pinkett Smith opened up on her family life

The 'Red Table Talk' host recently opened up about her family life, saying she doesn’t think her marriage will ever end after husband Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.

"I nearly didn’t even attend the Oscars that year, but I’m glad I did," Jada said in a December feature in the Daily Mail's YOU Magazine. "I call it the 'holy slap' now because so many positive things came after it," she added.

Jada Pinkett Smith thought her husband slapping Rock was a skit

Smith went after Rock after the comedian poked fun at Pinkett Smith’s appearance while hosting the award show. The Hollywood actor, 55, walked on the stage and slapped Rock, while Pinkett Smith said that she initially thought was a skit, before returning to his seat.

"That moment of the s--- hitting the fan is when you see where you really are," said Jada, who previously revealed that she and Will had been separated for seven years. "After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him," she said.

She added, "Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?"
