On Tuesday, Jada Pinkett Smith, who was the target of a joke that caused her husband Will Smith to slap Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday, called for "healing."

Jada Pinkett Smith Recently Talked About Embracing Appearance

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which organizes the Oscars, criticized Will Smith's actions on Monday, confirming that a formal assessment of the event had begun. Chris Rock quipped that he was looking forward to seeing Pinkett Smith in 'G.I. Jane 2' as he presented the prize for outstanding documentary feature.

Will Smith, who would win Best Actor later that night, appeared to laugh off the joke at first, but then stormed onto the stage and smacked Chris Rock before immediately returning to his seat. He then went back to his Dolby Theater seat and yelled. After being smacked, Chris Rock kept his cool and joked that it was the "greatest night in television history," according to the Los Angeles Police Department.Chris Rock declined to file charges.

Pinkett Smith reported in 2018 that she had been diagnosed with alopecia, a hair loss disorder. 'G.I. Jane' is a film about a group of soldiers. In the movie, Demi Moore plays Jane, a woman who shaves her head while serving in the military.

However, in a TikTok video on the Crown Act, a piece of legislation just enacted in the House of Representatives that intends to prevent hair-related discrimination, the 'Matrix Resurrections' actor talked about embracing her look just days before the Oscars ceremony, as per NBC News.

Meanwhile, Jim Carrey has chastised Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards on Sunday night and has targeted the "spineless" audience of A-listers who gave the actor a standing ovation. Just minutes after hitting Rock, Smith won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of 'King Richard,' prompting the audience to rise from their seats to applaud the actor.

Will Smith should have been arrested and sued, according to the "Dumb and Dumber" star. Jim Carrey and Will Smith have met several times, and Carrey has stated that he has no animosity toward the freshly minted Oscar winner, according to The New York Post.

Oscar Viewers Claim Will Smith-Chris Rock Slapping Moment Is Fake

The moment Will Smith smacked Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith was scripted, according to eagle-eyed Oscars viewers. Some social media users claim the slap was staged after watching slowed-down footage of the heated exchange.

The fact that Chris looked to flinch before the strike led one user to believe it was a hoax. Another person said that Will Smith and Chris Rock did the best work of the decade, assuming that this was true. The individual begins to use the hashtag #FakeSlap.

According to one user, Will Smith's whole performance appeared to be manufactured. According to the source, Chris Rock has been seen leaning in anticipation of the smack. After the smack, Will Smith returned to his seat with a grin on his face. "The slap itself didn't even look like it landed"

One viewer added: "Think the slap was real but still staged or planned. Chris Rock had no reaction and immediately said 'this is the greatest Oscar moment."

Will and Jada were seen working the room at the star-studded Vanity Fair party after his heartbreaking acceptance speech for Best Actor, receiving hugs from celebs including Lupita Nyong-o, who sat behind the couple throughout the event.

A beaming Jada cheered him on as he posed for photographs, danced with pals, and rapped along to his biggest hits including Summertime and Gettin' Jiggy Wit It. Jaden Smith, a rapper, has previously turned to Twitter to support his father. Jaden's tweet has been shared over 42,000 times, and social media users expressed various reactions to it.

Some accused the 'Summertime in Paris' singer of being a hypocrite since he tweeted earlier this month, "Praying For Peace In The World," while others flatly attacked Jaden for her comments, Daily Mail reported.
