Jada Pinkett Smith Responds To Chris Rock's Oscars Shade
Jada Pinkett Smith is moving on after Chris Rock's now-famous joke about her at the 2016 Oscars.
After
the nominations announcement revealed that, like the year before, all
the acting nominees are white, the 44-year-old actress vowed to
boycott the ceremony. She was among many people, including celebs, who
spoke out about the lack of diversity. Oscars host and fellow
African-American star Rock had made the issue a key theme of his jokes,
including one during his monologue that dissed Jada—and husband and
actor Will Smith.
"Jada
said she's not coming. I was like, 'Isn't she on a TV show?' Jada's
gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me
boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited!"
On Saturday, Jada made her first public comments about Rock since the Oscars.
"It
comes with the territory, sweetheart," she told photographers as she
made her way through Los Angeles International Airport. "Hey look, it
comes with the territory but we gotta keep it moving. There's a lot of
stuff we gotta handle, a lot of stuff in our world right now. We gotta
keep it moving."
In his
monologue, Rock also said Jada's "man Will was not nominated for
Concussion. I get it. You get mad. It's not fair that Will was this good
and didn't get nominated. You're right. It's also not fair that Will
was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!"
Will
was spotted leaving the set of his upcoming film Collateral Beauty in
New York City a day after the Oscars. When asked about Rock's remarks,
the actor flashed his famous smile and displayed the peace sign.
-E!
