Jada Pinkett Smith, 50, claimed that her family is focusing on healing after Will’s Oscar slap.
During the premiere episode of her online talk show, Red Table Talk, the actress revealed that her family is “focusing” on “healing” after getting so much exposure from Will’s bad behaviour.
Before her recent reference to the slap, Jada made headlines for breaking her silence just one day after the Oscars. She posted a cryptic message on social media and many took it as her response to the incident. “This is a season for healing, and I’m here for it,” the post read.

“Considering all that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has been focusing on deep healing,” the actress said in a statement that could be read on a silent black screen in the opening seconds of the show’s first episode. “Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared at the table when the time calls. Until then…the table will continue offering itself to powerful, inspiring and healing testimonies like that of our incredible impressive first guest.”
During the chat with first guest, singer Janelle Monáe, no one made any reference to the Academy Awards incident. It’s not clear if the first episode was filmed before or after the slap happened but according to Variety, some of the new season was filmed before.
