Jada Pinkett Smith directly addressed the infamous Oscar-night slap during an episode of “Red Table Talk” on Wednesday. Two months after her husband, Will Smith, struck comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about Pinkett Smith’s hairless head during the Academy Awards telecast, the actress used “the moment” on her Facebook Watch show to shed light on the auto-immune condition that caused her hair loss.
“This is a really important ‘Red Table Talk’ about alopecia. Considering what I’ve been through with my health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories,” she said in an introduction to the episode. My deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile. The state of the world today, we need them both,” she continued.
“Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together.

Two weeks after Rio’s death, the 94th Academy Awards aired live from Los Angeles. Pinkett Smith and her husband, who would go on to win the Oscar for his role in “King Richard” later that evening, sat in the front row as Rock joked that the actress looked like she was auditioning for “G.I. Jane 2.
