Jada Pinkett Smith recently revealed some surprising details about her relationships with her husband, Will Smith, and comedian Chris Rock. In an interview with People, Pinkett Smith addressed previous rumors of divorce between her and Smith, sharing that at one point, Rock even asked her out because he thought they were getting a divorce. However, Pinkett Smith denied the rumors and reassured Rock that they were just rumors. Pinkett Smith also revealed that she and Smith have been separated since 2016, but they have made a promise to work through any problems and avoid divorce.The news of their separation comes almost two years after an incident at the 2022 Oscars where Smith slapped Rock on stage after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith's bald head. Pinkett Smith admitted in her interview that she hasn't spoken to Rock since the incident and hopes for peace and understanding between them. She speculates that there may have been a misunderstanding between them regarding the 2016 Oscars and the #OscarsSoWhite movement, which she supported and called for a boycott. Rock, who was hosting the show that year, mentioned in his Netflix comedy special that Pinkett Smith had told him to quit in solidarity.
Despite the tension between Pinkett Smith and Rock, she emphasized that she thought they had moved on and buried the hatchet after they both apologized to each other. However, the incident at the Oscars in 2022 brought up old issues and conversations that she believes should be left to Smith and Rock to address. Overall, Pinkett Smith hopes for peace and clarity between herself, Smith, and Rock, and she acknowledges that they all have their own personal baggage that they need to work through.
