“I had my own premonition right before the incident on the Oscar stage. It flashed through my mind as Chris Rock’s face came across the screen as one of the presenters that night. In fact, my stomach clenched. He had been known to take swipes at me — and from the Oscar stage, no less. That had been in 2016, six years earlier, during what became known as #OscarsSoWhite.”

The Red Table Talk show host further added-

“Trying to be optimistic, I told myself, A lot of time has passed, it’s the Academy Awards, there are no new misunderstandings, and I’m sure he’ll play nice. But another thought was that he’s not going to be able to help himself. When Chris came out to present an award, made some jokes, got lots of laughs, and, like comics do, decided to milk his time onstage, he saw me and my bald head and ad-libbed: “Jada, I love ya, G.I. Jane Two, can’t wait to see it.”

Jada Pinkett Smith’s Worthy chronicles her life from the streets of Baltimore to meeting Tupac Shakur to landing in the world of movies. Worthy would be out on the shelves on October 17, 2023.
