Jada Pinkett Smith Mentioned Will Smith's Oscars Slap In Episode One Of 'Red Table Talk'
Red Table Talk has amassed over one billion views since its premiere on May 7, 2018, with 100 episodes on its roster so far and a 2021 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Informative Talk Show.
The acclaimed Facebook talk show - which hosts candid conversations with myriad celebrities as well as the Smith family themselves - famously gave Jada Pinkett Smith the opportunity to discuss for the first time her romantic relationship with August Alsina, which occurred during her and Will Smith's brief separation.
A-list stars that have featured on the show include the likes of Sandra Bullock, Salma Hayek, Demi Moore and Keanu Reeves.
The upcoming fifth series follows the dramatic events of the Oscars, which saw Will Smith strike Chris Rock on stage after the latter made a 'G.I. Jane 2' joke about his wife's bald head.
Smith later apologised for his 'unacceptable and inexcusable' actions that left him feeling 'embarrassed', and sources claimed Rock had no idea Jada had alopecia at the time of his comment.
