Will Smith’s infamous slap on Chris Rock during a stand-up comedy show has been revealed as the unlikely saviour of Jada and Will Smith’s marriage.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Jada stated that the event was a watershed moment in her life and made her realise she would never leave Will.
She referred to the aftermath of the incident as the “holy slap,” emphasising that the contentious moment was followed by positive developments.
Jada reflected on the event and said:
“That moment of the sh!t hitting the fan is when you see where you really are. After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?”
Jada continued, emphasising the positive outcomes of the incident and thanking everyone for attending the ceremony despite the fact that she was on the verge of missing it. Her comments came after she previously stated in an interview that she wanted to be with Will Smith forever.
The couple has had their fair share of difficulties in recent years.
However, it was this unexpected altercation that sparked introspection, growth, and the healing of their relationship.
This unusual event, according to Jada Smith, was the tipping point that brought them closer than ever before.
Jada Pinkett Smith previously revealed that she and Will Smith had been separated for 7 years.
