Although Will has issued an apology for the slap, trying to put this humiliating incident behind him, Jada seems determined to keep the conversation alive, consistently adding new perspectives to the narrative. According to her, the notorious "Oscar Slap" has surprisingly strengthened her bond with Will, bringing them closer than ever before.
From TMZ:
Jada Pinkett Smith says she and Will may have been completely dunzo by now, were it not for literally having some sense slapped into them ... indirectly, of course, because poor Chris Rock was the actual target.
Jada further opened up about the famous slap to Daily Mail, saying, "I nearly didn't even attend the Oscars that year, but I'm glad I did," adding, "I call it the 'holy slap' now because so many positive things came after it."
Jada said, "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."
As Jada revealed in her memoir, she and Will have been separated since 2016, but judging from their public statements since the book's release, they're back on track, although the scope of their relationship is still a mystery.
It's honestly amazing how Jada never fails to undermine Will time and time again.
The slap has undeniably left a lasting mark on Will's image. Despite this, Jada refuses to let it fade into the past and, unbelievably, she now tries to put a positive spin on it?
She is a real piece of work.
