Willow Smith breaks silence on her dad slapping Chris Rock

In a new interview, Willow opened up about how the now-infamous Oscars outburst has affected their family. During the 2022 Oscars ceremony in March, Will reacted to a joke that presenter Chris made about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. After Chris compared Jada’s alopecia to the shaved hairstyle worn by movie character G.I. Jane, Will walked onstage on the Oscars live telecast and slapped the comedian. Speaking to Billboard, Willow admitted that the media fallout didn’t “rock me as much as my own internal demons”.
