Chris Rock Asked Me Out – Jada Smith

Will Smith, Chris Rock, and Jada Pinkett Smith’s drama appear to go far beyond the infamous Oscars slap in 2022.

Jada Pinkett Smith, an actress, TV host, and producer, revealed in her new memoir, “Worthy,” that Rock, 58, asked her out on a date a few years before the Oscars slap, amid rumours she was divorcing Will, 55.

Jada, 52, told People magazine ahead of the book’s release: “I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce.”

“And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce,” she continued. “So he called me and he was like, ‘I’d love to take you out.’

“And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren’t you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumours.’ He was appalled,” Jada recalled.

“And he profusely apologized and that was that.”

Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head at the Oscars last year in 2022.

Rock laughed while presenting an award at the event, saying he couldn’t wait to see the actress in “G.I. Jane 2.”

Will Smith, who was sitting next to his wife at the time, then walked up to the creator of “Everybody Hates Chris” on stage and struck him in front of millions of viewers.

As a result of the incident, Smith has been barred from attending the Academy Awards for ten years.

According to People, Pinkett Smith hasn’t spoken to Chris Rock since the incident.

“[Do I have] any desire to talk to Chris? Here’s my desire: I just hope that all the misunderstanding around this can be cleared up and that there can be peace,” she sighed.

Jada, who has alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss, claimed she wasn’t particularly offended at the time by the comedian’s remarks.

“I mean, that’s what comedians do,” she stated. “I would just have to say that I am not really here to make any judgment on how people decide to express themselves and express their art.”

“I’ll say that several times I’ve had my feelings hurt, for sure. I’ve had my feelings hurt a lot by Chris. But at the end of the day, too, being in the spotlight, it comes with the territory.”
