Jada Pinkett Smith Sort Of Touches Upon Will Smith’s Oscars Slap On “Red Table Talk”

April 22, 2022 / Posted by:

Of course, we’re still talking about the slap heard around the world that echoed off the walls of the Oscars when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock live on television. Since then, Will has been banned from going to all Academy events for ten years. The fifth season of Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook talk show, Red Table Talk, premiere this week, and when the trailer was released, there were zero signs of the Oscars slap, which slapped many with a load of SHOCK because people were expecting the Smiths to milk the shit out of this mess. But don’t worry! Jada has come through, sort of.

The Trailer For The Fifth Season Of “Red Table Talk” Is Here, But There’s No Mention Of The Oscars Slap

April 19, 2022 / Posted by:

Not too long after Will Smith’s right palm made contact against Chris Rock’s face at the 2022 Oscars, I found myself eagerly anticipating how Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk would break down that moment by every perceivable angle, discourse, discussion, and serious-eyed “Are you kidding me?” stare (possibly Adrienne Banfield Norris’ most enjoyable contribution to the show). But anyone who was waiting to see how The Slap would be covered on Red Table Talk is likely going to have to wait a while longer. Because the trailer for the fifth season has just dropped, and there’s not an open palm nor G.I. Jane reference nor remorsefully teary-eyed Will Smith to be found.

Chris Rock Jokes That He’s Not Going To Talk About The Oscars Slap Until He Gets Paid

Or was it a joke!?!!

It’s been two weeks since Will Smith turned the 2022 Oscars into Slapapolooza by slapping Chris Rock for making a G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. And since then, we’ve heard a lot from Will. We heard from him during his Best Actor speech when he apologized to the Academy and the audience. We heard from him the next day when he apologized to Chris Rock on Instagram. We heard from him when he resigned from the Academy. And we heard from him when the Academy decided to ban him from attending the Oscars for 10 years as punishment. Basically, Will’s statement writers have been busy. But while we’ve heard from The Slapper a lot, we haven’t really heard from The Slapee. Chris is currently doing a stand-up tour, and while he’s dropped words about this mess here and there, he’s mostly kept quiet, saying that he needs time to process it all. But during a show on Friday night, Chris let the audience know that he’s not talking about Will getting slappy with him until someone shows him the MONAAAAAY. “Err, can I pay you not to talk about this so it can finally go away?” thought Will Smith, somewhere.

The Academy Has Moved Up Their Board Meeting To Discuss Possible Sanctions Against Will Smith

April 7, 2022 / Posted by:

Cue up the part in MLK’s speech where he says “free at last,” because we’re one step closer to putting The Slap (pictured above, emblazoned on the Berlin Wall) behind us. According to CNN, The Academy of Motion Picture Sciences has moved up the date for their board meeting to discuss possible sanctions against Will Smith for walking on stage and slapping Chris Rock during the Oscars telecast on March 27th. Originally scheduled for April 18th, the meeting will now be held tomorrow, April 8th, at 9 am. And here I was under the impression that they were waiting so long because they had to interview every single person who witnessed that shit, starting with Lupita Nyong’o all the way up to Ruth McCurdy of DeKalb, Illinois, to ask them their opinion before making their assessment of what, if any, actions to bring against him. Why else would it take so long? We all saw what happened!

Rosie O’Donnell, Tiffany Haddish And Others Shared Their Reactions To Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscars

March 28, 2022 / Posted by:

We all witnessed the same disappointing, and frankly, wildly unprofessional behavior unfold live in front of our eyes during last night’s Academy Awards broadcast. I think we can all agree that what we saw, which was Will Smith bum-rushing the stage and slapping Chris Rock in the face after he made a G.I. Jane II joke about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia, was undeniably shocking. Yet, unsurprisingly, reactions to The Slap have been as all over the place as the broadcast itself. But personally, when the camera person in charge of audience reaction shots failed to capture the crucial 30 seconds between when Will was shown laughing at Chris’ joke, and the moment Will saw Jada’s face and decided he needed to slap the taste out of his mouth, I said to myself, “wow, this is a new low for Hollywood.” Say what you will about the demise of the Golden Globes, but at least their crew would have had coverage.

Chris Rock Will Not Press Charges Against Will Smith For The Slap At The Oscars

March 28, 2022 / Posted by:

It was Tinseltown’s biggest night last night, and all the stars were out at the Dolby Theater. And in one very specific case, one of Hollywood’s brightest stars ended up seeing stars themselves – literally. Chris Rock, who was on hand to present the award for Best Documentary Feature, found himself delivering a little monologue that ended with Chris getting slapped the fuck up on stage by Will Smith, a man who certainly didn’t appreciate the extremely-timely G.I. Jane joke directed at his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. And just like that, Will Smith made it to the number-one spot of every “10 Craziest Oscar Moments Ever” list from now until the end of time (or at least until someone else gets their shit rocked on stage at the Oscars). And the LAPD says that they’re aware of what went down and Chris Rock declined to file a police report.
