“That slap helped me understand that I will never leave my husband Will Smith” said the actress in an interview with the British tabloid “Daily Mail”
Jada Pinkett Smith credits Will Smith’s slap to comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars for saving the couple’s marriage. The presenter and actress explained in an interview with the “Daily Mail” how her husband’s infamous slap during the 2022 Academy Awards helped her understand that they will be together forever. «After all those years trying to imagine if I would ever leave Will’s side, it took a slap in the face to understand that I would never do it – Pinkett Smith revealed to the British tabloid -. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?”
In October, the 52-year-old actress revealed during an NBC primetime special that she and Smith — who married in 1997 — separated seven years ago because they were “tired of trying” to keep their marriage together. Pinkett Smith stressed that it was not a divorce “on paper”, but they lived separately at home, even if they continued to present themselves in public as a couple. Things changed after the “I Am Legend” star, 55, slapped Chris Rock on stage at the Academy Awards after the comedian made an unfortunate joke about Pinkett Smith’s bald head due to alopecia (during of the same night the star was awarded the Oscar for best leading actor for «A winning family – King Richard»). «Now I call it the “sacred slap” because so many positive things came after it», the actress, on tour to promote her memoir «Worthy», published on 17 October, told the «Daily Mail».
