The much-anticipated season 5 premiere of Red Table Talk opened with a title card that, among other things, signaled Jada Pinkett Smith won’t be discussing the behavior of her husband Will Smith at the Oscars anytime soon.
“Considering all that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has been focused on deep healing,” the opening titles read. “Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared at the table when the time calls. Until then the table will continue offering itself to powerful, inspiring and healing testimonies like that of our incredibly impressive first guest.”
Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, but he was banned from the Oscars for 10 years after slapping Chris Rock on stage. He said he accepted and respected the Academy’s decision.
Season 5 of the digital talk series, which also stars Pinkett Smith’s daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne “Gammy” Banfield Norris, kicked off with guest Janelle Monáe. Each episode of Red Table Talk is shot at the Smith’s family home.
