Has anyone forgotten the slap that Will Smith gave Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars ceremony? Because when you start to forget about that unfortunate event that marred the most important night of Will Smith's career, there is someone who insists on remembering it again.
In this case it has been his own wife, Jada Pinkett, who presents her memoirs and does so in style, with revelations such as that she has been separated from the protagonist of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for six years, that her soulmate was the mythical Tupac Shakur or who was really embarrassed by said slap. After several days in the center of controversy, Will Smith has responded to the words of his ex-wife.
The actor wrote an email to the editorial staff of The New York Times expressing how he felt about the words of what everyone already knows is his ex-wife, with whom until now he has been keeping up appearances; But although most would think that the actor could be angry or upset, it is not like that at all, quite the opposite.
The aforementioned newspaper had carried out a profile on Jada Pinkett and her next book, when they received a response from the actor, who states that his wife's memoirs made him "wake up a little."
The actress confessed just a few days ago that she had separated from her husband in 2016 and, since then, they have lived separately despite projecting an image of a united couple to the outside. According to Pinkett, the fact that it took her so long to find out about the separation was because they weren't "prepared" to tell the world. Thus, they always appeared in public and with their children as a united couple, including the remembered moment at the Oscars.
In response and perhaps somewhat astonished, the popular actor explained that his wife had "lived a life more on the edge" than he had believed, and that she was "more resilient, intelligent and compassionate" than he had ever imagined.
"When you've been with someone for more than half your life, a kind of emotional blindness arises," writes the Oscar-winning actor, who also admits that, as a result, "it's very easy to lose sensitivity to their hidden nuances and beauty." subtle".
The couple met in 1994 while filming The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a series where the actor gained international fame. The actress auditioned for the role of her girlfriend, Lisa Wilkes, which she ultimately would not get - actress Nia Long took it. Now, the connection between the two was immediate, although at that time the actor was married to producer Sheree Zampino, mother of his eldest son, Trey.
In December 1997, the couple got married, just a month after getting engaged and after two years of relationship. Since then, both have been considered one of the most established and idyllic couples in Hollywood. Of course, not without rumors of their possible "agreement" to maintain an open relationship or the various crises they have had to overcome. Still, the divorce will not come. As Jada Pinkett confesses, they both promised to "work and overcome whatever it takes."
