Jada Pinkett Smith has candidly revealed that her marriage with Will Smith was saved by the infamous "holy slap" incident at the Oscars, acknowledging the pivotal moment in a recent interview with the Daily Mail. She described the event as transformative, emphasizing the positive outcomes that followed.
Pinkett Smith admitted that the slap made her realize she would never leave her husband, stating, "Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?"
The revelation comes after Will Smith, during the 94th Academy Awards in March 2022, physically confronted Chris Rock on stage in response to a joke about Pinkett Smith's shaved head.
The "Matrix" star admitted she almost skipped the awards show but expressed gratitude for attending. The incident led to Smith being barred from Academy activities for ten years. The couple's unconventional journey has sparked conversations about resilience, love, and the intricacies of Hollywood relationships
