Jada Pinkett Smith recently opened up about the impact of Will Smith’s notorious Oscar slap, referring to it as the “holy slap” and claiming it played a crucial role in solidifying her commitment to their marriage.
In a candid interview with the Daily Mail’s YOU Magazine, the 52-year-old actress shared insights into the aftermath of the 2022 Academy Awards incident, where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada’s appearance.
“I nearly didn’t even attend the Oscars that year, but I’m glad I did,” Jada expressed, dubbing the incident the “holy slap” due to the positive outcomes that followed.
According to Jada, the Oscars controversy significantly impacted their marriage, revealing, “That moment of the s— hitting the fan is when you see where you really are.” Despite having been separated from Will for seven years, she emphasized that the slap made her realize she would never leave him.
The internet, however, has shown mixed reactions to Jada’s recent revelations, with some expressing fatigue over the constant updates on the Smiths’ relationship dynamics.
