Model and actress Vivica A. Fox had some strong words about Jada Pinkett Smith’s statement regarding her husband’s infamous Oscar’s slap.

In case you need a reminder, Pinkett Smith’s husband, Oscar winner Will Smith, slapped comedian and presenter Chris Rock after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith.


As a consequence, Smith has been banned from attending Academy Award ceremonies for the next ten years.

Since the February incident, people have been on the edge of their seats, waiting for any of the parties involved to comment in depth about what went down.

As promised, Pinkett Smith finally addressed the controversy on her Red Table Talk show.

Regarding the incident, Pinkett said:

“Now, about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out, and reconcile.”
“The state of the world today, we need them both, and we all actually need one another more than ever.”
“Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together.”

Fox took issue with the actress’s “cold” and “self-righteous” comments.

She said as much when she was asked about it on The Wendy Williams Show last Thursday.

Fox said:

“Will Smith was defending her honor, that’s the reason he walked on stage and slapped because he felt like his wife had been offended."
"So for me, I see no accountability as a partner..."
“Also, let’s not forget, Chris Rock was assaulted. We cannot forget that for basically telling a joke that I really felt wasn’t that bad."

Having starred with Smith in the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day and Set It Off with Pinkett Smith that same year, Fox mentioned she knows the Smith’s personally.

“I have love for the Smiths. I know their children. I’ve watched them grow up."
"I just wish we could have had just a little more accountability and for it to not seem so self-righteous on Jada’s part, and that’s my feelings.”

The clip has been posted to The Wendy Williams Show’s Instagram account, where many agreed with Fox.

But others felt Fox was being overly dramatic about the incident, as Fox said it "made her cry."

Since the Oscars, Chris Rock has only alluded to to the slap, while Smith has only issued a statement on his ban from the Oscars.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
