Last year's Oscar ceremony was remembered for the slap. The slap was given by Will Smith and the slap was given by host Chris Rock. The reason for the slap was Rock's joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's lack of hair. Jada Pinkett Smith made an unexpected statement about the slap incident, which was talked about for days and was not erased from the memories, and expressed that she was pleased with the slap.

Jada Pinkett Smith had previously explained that she felt the responsibility for that moment fell on her shoulders. But in a new interview, she revealed that she now calls the moment a "holy slap" and is grateful that it happened for a very surprising reason.

"I REALIZED WITH THAT SLAP THAT I WOULD NEVER LEAVE HER" Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper, 52-year-old Pinkett Smith said that Will Smith's defense of his honor "saved their marriage". In a previous interview, the famous actress admitted that she and Will Smith had separated in 2016 and that they had hidden from the public that they had been separated for seven years. Pinkett Smith said, "When things get bad, that's when you see where you really are. After all those years of trying to figure out if I would ever leave Will's side, it took that slap to realize that I would never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be without that?"

Pinkett Smith, who said that she almost did not attend the Oscar night in 2022, said that looking back now, she is very glad she went. "I call it a 'holy slap'," said the famous actress, "Many positive things came after the slap." Saying that she thinks they will never be separated anymore, Pinkett Smith said, "We have been together for 30 years, even if someone new comes, neither of us is going anywhere. We are a family that has to look out for each other and always will. Sometimes it takes a crisis for you to see this," she said.

At the end of last month, Pinkett Smith, who said that they would continue their marriage on the TV program called The Drew Barrymore Show, which she attended to promote her book "Worthy", used the phrase "We will be together forever". Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, who met on the TV series "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", entered the world in 1997. The Smith couple have a 25-year-old son named Jaden and a 22-year-old daughter named Willow. Will Smith also has a 30-year-old son named Trey from his previous wife.

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE OSCARS? Will Smith, who left his mark on the Oscars in 2022 with the slap scandal, was angry with Chris Rock's joke "Jada I love you, I can't wait for 'G.I. Jane 2'" about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith shaving her hair due to Alopecia. Chris compared Pinkett Smith to the bald G.I. Jane character played by Demi Moore. Will Smith then went on stage and slapped Rock, saying, "Don't take my wife's name in your mouth!" While the slap scandal that marked the ceremony was talked about for days, Will Smith was banned from Oscar galas and other Academy events for 10 years.
