Jada Pinkett Smith has broken her silence after the outcry over her husband Will Smith slapping Chris Rock for making a joke at her expense. The actress spoke out through social media, two days after the controversial night unfolded at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony.

Jada took to her Instagram to share a brief post talking about “season for healing” in an apparent reference to the Oscars incident that took place March 27 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The actress shared a quote that read, “This is a season for healing and I'm here for it.”

Meanwhile, their daughter Willow Smith also shared a cryptic post about kindness on her Instagram story. "You know who's going through a lot right now? Literally everyone. Just be kind," the March 29 post read.

Previously, Willow's brother Jaden Smith also shared a tweet right after that evening. “And That's How We Do It,” the 23-year-old musician wrote seemingly addressing father Will's heated exchange with Chris Rock.

On March 27, comedian-actor Chris Rock was left stunned at the 2022 Oscar night after Will Smith stormed to the Academy Awards stage and slapped the comedian across the face as he poked fun at Smith’s spouse, Jada Pinkett Smith, about her shaved head. In his subsequent acceptance speech for winning Best Actor Oscar, Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees, though he did not address Rock during the evening. However, Smith later released an apology to Rock through social media on March 28 afternoon, expressing remorse over his actions.

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally,” Smith wrote. “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
