Will Smith
“We’re gonna take legal action,” Pinkett Smith said of rumors that her estranged husband had sex with actor Duane Martin.
“Sorry if I seem a little tired,” Jada Pinkett Smith (Ego Nwodim) told Michael Che on SNL’s Weekend Update. “I’ve been on the ‘Today’ Show 14 times in three days.”
“I started to wonder maybe my husband and I are secretly separated,” the actor joked. “I guess I won't figure it out until he gets up and slaps someone at the Tony Awards.”
As Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir revives the discourse around Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, the ableist context surrounding the event is once again missing.
The actress has plenty to say about her marriage to Will Smith and close bond with Tupac Shakur—but skims over the “entanglement” that may have torn apart her life.
“We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time,” Pinkett Smith told Hoda Kotb. “I’m like, ‘What is going on right now?’”
They’d apparently been apart for six years before the infamous Oscars ceremony slap.
