After consoling Will Smith after Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, Denzel Washington has now spoken publicly about what happened at last Sunday’s awards show. Washington attended author and bishop T.D. Jakes’ leadership summit on Saturday morning for a discussion about his career and faith when Jakes asked him about what happened between Smith and Rock at the Oscars.

“Well, there’s a saying, ‘When the devil ignores you, then you know you’re doing something wrong.’ The devil goes, ‘Oh no, leave him alone, he’s my favorite.’ Conversely, when the devil comes at you, maybe it’s because he’s trying to do something right. And for whatever reason the devil got ahold of that circumstance that night,” Washington told Jakes on stage.

“Fortunately there were people there. Not just me, but others, Tyler Perry, came immediately right over there with me. [Said] some prayers. I don’t wanna say what we talked about, but there but for the grace of God go any of us. Who are we to condemn? I don’t know all the ins and outs of the situation, but I know the only solution was prayer, the way I see it,” Washington said on Saturday.

Video of Jada Pinkett Smith laughing after Will Smith slap surfacesThe “Red Table Talk” co-host could be seen laughing when Rock said, “Wow, Will Smith just smacked the s–t out of me” during the 2022 Oscars ceremony. Because she can’t possibly find any humor in or simply ignore a GI Jane joke, but physical violence and seeing her husband spun out in fury (after he found it funny), ruining the night for everyone, is cause for Jada to laugh out loud and enjoy the show finally. Two bullies! This woman does NOT hv scary med cond. She has plenty of hair she chose to shave. She created bits of hair loss lk most people who overstyle have. Stop, it grows back. Insane she wants attn for med cond & claims “alopecia” for people to assume md areata rather than just traction.
