Will Smith’s wife, Jade Pinkett Smith, made her first public appearance on Saturday night. The 50-year-old actress accompanied Shonda Rhimes and Debbie Allen at the grand opening of the Rhimes Performing Arts Center.
Her husband, Will Smith, slapped the comedian Chris Rock at Oscars 2022 for making jokes about his wife’s Alopecia disease.
On the red carpet, Pinkett Smith was beaming with delight in a strapless, golden dress with matching earrings and heels.
On Friday, after the motion picture academy revoked his invitation to attend the Oscars for a decade, Smith acknowledged their decision.
The Hollywood actor said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, “I accept and respect the academy’s decision.”
Following the academy’s board of governors’ meeting, the academy imposed a ban on Smith by preventing his entry at the Oscars or any other academy event for 10 years.
On April 1, the Academy’s president, David Rubin, called for the board meeting that day. A meeting was originally scheduled for April 18, but it was advanced due to Smith’s resignation on April 1.
After Rock cracked a joke about Pinkett Smith’s bald head in the 1997 film “G.I. Jane,” which starred Demi Moore, Smith smacked him. Alopecia has been a problem for Pinkett Smith, 50.
Jada Pinkett Smith, star of the film “Jada,” added, “I’m so excited to see it.” Rock, who was also on stage at the Oscars with Jada in attendance, said that.
Ms. Pinkett Smith has not made any statements about the incident yet.
