Jada Pinkett Smith and Chris Rock have a long history together.
The pair co-starred in the “Madagascar” animated movies starting in 2005, and their paths would continue to cross in the years that followed, coming to a bitter halt when Pinkett Smith’s husband, Will Smith, slapped Rock during the 2022 Oscars ceremony. But is it true that the two celebrities have had more than just a co-working relationship?
That’s what we’re going to find out in today’s video! But of course, before we go any further, make sure first that you subscribe to our channel and hit that notification bell for more updates and videos like this. Now, let’s dive in! The incident occurred after Rock made a joke during the awards show about Pinkett Smith’s hair; her head is shaved due to the autoimmune condition alopecia. During the live telecast, Smith struck Rock in one of the most shocking moments in television history. In the walk-up to the release of her memoir, “Worthy,” on Oct. 17, Pinkett Smith has been opening up. In a new interview with People, she shared more about her relationship with Rock prior to the Oscars slap, including the fact that Rock once asked her out on a date amid rumors that she and Smith were divorcing.
During the monologue, Rock remarked, “Jada’s going to boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.” Rock continued by suggesting Pinkett Smith had really skipped the ceremony because her husband wasn’t nominated for his role in the movie “Concussion.”
“It’s not fair that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated. You’re right. It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for ‘Wild Wild West,’ OK?” he said, referring to one of Smith’s box-office disappointments. Prior to the 2016 Oscars, Pinkett Smith made a video explaining why she wasn’t going to attend. In it, she addressed Rock directly saying, “I can’t think of a better man to do the job at hand this year than you, my friend. Good luck.”
In the wake of the 2016 Oscars, Pinkett Smith told People that Rock “apologized and I apologized to him as well,” for the misunderstanding, and that she thought “that the hatchet was buried between us.” At least until the night of March 27, 2022, when the course of their relationship changed forever due to a slap and an outraged Smith. In the 2023 Netflix comedy special, “Selective Outrage,” Rock references the infamous moment, once more suggesting that Pinkett Smith was disgruntled over Smith not receiving an Oscar nomination for “Concussion,” and that she’s largely to blame for everything that’s transpired since.
Rock was alluding to a situation back in July 2020 when Jada openly discussed her involvement with singer August Alsina from several years earlier during a period when she and Will were separated. During an interview on YouTube that same month with Angela Yee, the singer asserted that he was involved with Pinkett Smith, whom he got to know through her and Will Smith’s son, Jaden, in 2015. He expressed his deep commitment to the relationship, saying, “I dedicated years of my life to that connection, and I genuinely, profoundly love her and have a tremendous amount of affection for her. I wholeheartedly invested myself in it. I offered my complete self to it.
To the extent that I could peacefully pass away right now, knowing that I wholeheartedly shared my life with someone.” While Pinkett Smith denied that her husband had granted Alsina permission to pursue the relationship, she clarified that, in such a situation, the only person who could provide consent is herself. She also mentioned that she believed the singer was attempting to make it clear that he wasn’t intentionally causing problems because he’s not a home-wrecker.
In a joking manner, he added, “Everyone’s like, ‘Chris, why didn’t you retaliate that night? Why didn’t you react?’ Because I have parents, that’s why. Because I was raised.” The comedian stated that he took no action against Will, bringing up the incident when Jada was boycotting the Academy Awards in 2016 during the Oscars So White movement and urged Rock not to host the show.
