Jada Pinkett Smith wants nothing to do with the ongoing feud between her husband Will Smith and comedian Chris Rock.
Nearly one year after the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum slapped the comic at the Academy Awards, Chris returned to the stage for his live Netflix comedy special, Selective Outrage, on Saturday night — and he had plenty of jabs to throw the couple’s way. From joking about Jada’s affair with August Alsina to commenting on the most buzzworthy controversy of 2022, the slap heard across the world, the stand-up star’s jokes certainly packed a punch!
In the aftermath, Jada’s camp is now speaking out and claiming Chris has taken things WAY too far… but not exactly for the reasons you might be expecting!

On Monday, a source close to the actress sat down with People to talk all things Selective Outrage. Despite the fact Jada has very much been at the center of her husband’s latest controversy (as a reminder, Will slapped Chris after he made a joke about Jada’s bald head), the insider argued the Red Table Talk host has had no involvement in the fight. In fact, they are placing ALL the blame on Chris — and not just ’cause he was the one dishing out the jabs… but because he’s “obsessed with her”?! The source shared:
To prove their point even further, they added:
Damn! They really think Chris was trying to prove a point by hosting his show at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theater?? That would be petty AF! But if it’s true, it sure seems to have worked. The location has apparently gotten under Jada’s team’s skin!
