Will Smith Oscargate
After Will Smith and Chris Rock's heated fight on March 27, 2022, the Oscars took a dramatic turn. As soon as Chris joked about Jada Pinkett Smith and her buzz cut, Will stormed on to the Oscars stage and gave him a slap across the face. Will felt that the actor's medical condition was being used as a joke, as the actor has been open about her alopecia and hair loss. Jada supported Will after he faced backlash for slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars.

Jada disclosed that she and Will have "been living separate lives" for the past seven years even though they haven't been divorced at an NBC News special in October 2023. She clarified that they were trying to figure out where they were as partners, which is why neither of them had disclosed their breakup to the public until now. Will, Jada, and their kids, Jaden and Willow Smith, have all been to several red carpet events since 2016.
