Jada Pinkett Smith\u00a0has revealed that the Chris Rock-Will Smith\u00a0slapping incident at the 2022 Academy Awards re-affirmed her commitment to her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I was sitting at the Oscars, it clicked in. As soon as I was like, \u2018Oh snap, you hit Chris?’\u201d Jada said. \u201cI was like, I\u2019m riding with you. I didn\u2019t come into this place as your wife, but I\u2019m leaving here as your wife because we got a storm we\u2019re going to have to deal with together. I am not gonna leave your side.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jada reflected on her separation from Will Smith for the past seven years. \u201cIn 2016, we both were exhausted \u2014 pulling at each other, power struggles \u2014 and I had to go and really learn how to love myself before I could even identify what love looked like coming from somebody else,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had to really learn that about Will,\u201d Jada added. \u201cI wasn\u2019t entitled to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jada also shared with the audience that Will \u2014 along with their children Jaden, Willow and Trey (Will\u2019s son from his first marriage) \u2014 granted her permission to include anything about their lives in her memoir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c[Will] was like, \u2018You haven\u2019t been able to have your authentic voice through and through,’\u201d she explained. \u201c\u2018I will be comfortable with whatever you want to share, I trust you.’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Will read the book before she gave it to her editor, Jada revealed, \u201cHe didn\u2019t change a word. He changed nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jada\u2019s new memoir, \u201cWorthy,\u201d\u00a0will be released Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n \n
