“I will never leave him”- Jada Pinkett Smith Credits the 2022 Oscar Controversy for Saving Her Marriage to Will Smith

One of the most standout moments in the history of pop culture has to be the
infamous 2022 Oscar controversy with Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] and Chris Rock. While it was the
highlight of the year for fans, it also marked a significant turning point for
the Smith family. Will Smith faced career repercussions and tremendous backlash
from fans. However, the incident had an unexpected silver lining. Something was
reignited between Will and Jada Pinkett Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jada-pinkett-smith/] during the night of the
Oscar slap, and that one incident, cast a new hope in their relationship. 

Recently, Jada spoke about the Oscar incident once again. She shared how it
positively impacted her longstanding relationship with Will, which has seen
seven years of separation.


JADA PINKETT SMITH WAS GLAD THAT THE SLAPGATE HAPPENED 

In a recent interview with Daily Mail, Jada Pinkett Smith opened up

about the ups and downs in her marriage with Will. She shed light on the
infamous Slapgate and discussed how the couple’s dynamic changed after the
incident. “It took that slap for me to realize I will never leave him”, said the
actress who had spent years pondering the future of her relationship. The
subject also came up during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show just last
month.

Jada Pinkett Smith went on record expressing her surprise at Will’s use of the
term “wife” at the Oscars. Despite the initial shock, this unexpected reference
fostered a renewed connection between her and the King Richard actor. Speaking
on The Drew Barrymore Show, she openly declared her intention to stay with Will
forever

declaration of their marriage separation.

In the Daily Mail interview, she explained her decision to disclose their
separation, despite the disapproval of Will Smith. 


THE REASON BEHIND JADA’S REVELATION

Jada Pinkett Smith said in a podcast she co-hosted, Red Table Talk, that she had
an “entanglement” with a troubled young singer/songwriter called August Alsina,
who was 19 years younger than her. Jada told Daily Mail that she decided to
speak about her relationship with Will after an “entanglee” had spoken about it.
Although she did not take Alsina’s name, she hinted at the 31-year-old singer’s
song called ‘Entanglements’.

The song had lyrics saying, “You left your man just to f*** with me, just to pay
him back”. Jada explained that she wanted to confront that. “It was my mess, and
I took the bullet for it”, added Jada while delving into the rationale behind
her decision to go public about their separation. After the storm they faced,
Jada and Will are now finding a positive path in their dynamic.
