Will Smith later apologised after he struck Chris Rock during the ceremony after Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkette-Smith being bald. Smith took offence to Rock saying that he was excited to see Jada in the next GI Jane film.
Jada Pinkette-Smith who was diagnosed with the condition in 2018, took to Instagram to write “This is a season for healing and I’m here for it". However, it is unclear as to whether or not this post was related to the Oscars spat between Rock and her husband.
Along with this, Will Smith's wife Carolyn also has had her say on the recent Oscars spat. She claimed that she has never “seen him do that”.
“He is a very even, people person", Carolyn said on the incident. “That’s the first time I’ve ever seen him go off. First time in his lifetime… I’ve never seen him do that".
She also added, “I am proud of him being him".
