This was Jada Pinkett's reaction after Will Smith punched Chris Rock at Oscars 2022. New video emerges

A new video is now going viral on social media which seemingly shows how Jada Pinkett Smith reacted after her husband, Will Smith punched Chris Rock at Oscars 2022. The actress seems to be laughing.

This year's Oscars is making headlines all over the world not because of the golden trophies or the glamorous stars. Everyone is talking about Will Smith punching Chris Rock on the stage during the live ceremony. The incident took place when Chris made a joke about Will's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and said that she was looking like GI Jane 2. He was referring to her baldness. A new video has now surfaced online which seemingly shows how Jada reacted after her husband, Will Smith, slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards.

Jada Pinkett Smith, the woman at the vortex of the Oscars slapgate controversy, had earlier broken her silence in a cryptic Instagram post. The actress talked about 'healing'. In a new video from the Oscars 2022 event going viral now, Jada is seen laughing after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. The footage has been recorded by a member of the Oscars 2022 audience, sitting just two rows from the stage. In the viral video, Smith can be seen storming off the stage and sitting back in his seat after assaulting Rock. “Wow, Will Smith just smacked the st out of me!” Rock says, with the video appearing to show Jade Smith’s head tilting forward with laughter.

Check it out:

Will Smith had later issued a public apology to Chris Rock for punching him on stage. In a note on Instagram, he wrote, "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 a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally (sic)." He added, "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 (sic)."

Will Smith concluded his note saying, "I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress. Sincerely, Will (sic)."
