Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith seen together for the first time since Oscars slap

Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith have been spotted out and about together for the first time since Will slapped Chris Rock over a joke at Jada’s expense during the 2022 Oscars back in March.

The pair, who appeared to be in good spirits, was snapped by photographers on Saturday in Malibu near celebrity hot spot Nobu, walking hand-in-hand as Will waved to onlookers, reports the new york post.

The Oscar winner wore a black hat, navy polo shirt and matching pants for the outing, completing the look with a fresh pair of white Air Force Ones. Jada also rocked sneakers with her de ella all black ensemble, tying a flannel shirt around her waist and finishing off her look de ella with delicate jewelery and a pair of shades.

The sighting comes weeks after Will released his latest apology for slapping Rock during the ceremony due to a G.I. Jane joke the comic told in reference to Jada, who suffers from hair loss condition alopecia.

“I reached out to Chris, and the message that came back is he’s not ready to talk, but when he is, he will reach out,” Smith said in the video posted to YouTube.

“I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.”

Jada addressed the moment during a June episode of her Facebook Watch series Red Table Talksaying she would like, “these two intelligent, capable men to have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile.

“The state of the world today, we need them both,” she continued. “And we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening.”

As for Rock, the stand-up has only spoken of the matter on-stage during recent gigs, including comparing Smith to former Death Row Records exec and noted hothead Suge Knight.

“Everybody is trying to be af**ing victim,” Rock, 57, said during a gig at Atlanta’s Fox Theater.

“If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith… I went to work the next day, I got kids.”

He added: “Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face.”

Victoria Beckham, Nicola Peltz feud: Brooklyn Beckham addresses report in Variety interview

Victoria Beckham, Nicola Peltz feud: Brooklyn Beckham addresses report in Variety interview

Brooklyn Beckham claims all is well amid the ongoing feud between his mother, Victoria Beckham, and his new wife, Nicola Peltz.

“I’ve learned they’re always going to try to write stuff like that,” the 23-year-old Brit told Variety in their latest “Power of Young Hollywood” issue. “They’re always going to try and put people down. But everyone gets along, which is good.”

Peltz — who married the cook this past April — also attempted to deny any drama with her designer mother-in-law, but mused that she thinks the buzz started when she didn’t wear a Victoria Beckham-brand gown on her wedding day, opting for Valentino.

“I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress,” Peltz, 27, revealed during the interview.

“She didn’t say you can’t wear it; Ella i did n’t say ella I did n’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that.”

However, sources told Page Six that the young beauty and the Spice Girls singer-turned fashionista, “can’t stand each other and don’t talk,” adding that, “The build-up to the wedding was horrendous” because Peltz didn’t want Beckham, “ to be any part of the planning, and she wouldn’t clue Victoria in on anything. Communication was minimal.”

Palm Beach-based insiders also suggested that “cultural differences between the two families” is also to blame for the reported tension as Peltz’s father is billionaire investor Nelson Peltz.

“It’s pretty obvious there’s an issue between the two families. Everybody needs to find their place. They’re just not quite connecting yet.”

‘Punched in the face’: Chris Rock reacts to Will Smith’s apology

'Punched in the face': Chris Rock reacts to Will Smith's apology

Hours after Will Smith took to social media to apologize for slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars, the stand-up took to the stage to wax poetic over the moment.

Rock compared Smith to former Death Row Records executive and currently incarcerated hothead Suge Knight, reported Page Six.

“Everybody is trying to be af***ing victim,” Rock, 57, said during a gig at Atlanta’s Fox Theater Friday night.

“If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith… I went to work the next day, I got kids.”

“Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face,” Rock added, according to People.

The comic is currently touring his new material as part of his Ego Death World Tour. He also touched on the subject during recent shows in New Jersey and New York, co-headlined by Kevin Hart.

Smith’s latest apology — as he also apologized to Rock via social media days after the notorious incident — revealed that Rock has refused to speak to him so far about the moment he deemed “unacceptable.”

“I reached out to Chris, and the message that came back is he’s not ready to talk, but when he is, he will reach out,” Smith said in the video posted to YouTube. “I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.”

Smith, 53, also apologized to Rock’s mother and brother Tony Rock.

“That was one of the things about that moment that I didn’t realize,” he continued. “I wasn’t thinking about how many people got hurt in that moment. I want to apologize to Chris’ mother, to Chris’ family of him, especially his brother, Tony Rock. ”

Tony, who previously worked with Smith on an early-2000s sitcom All Of Ustook Smith to task over hitting his brother, leaving the Oscar winner with the impression that their relationship is now “probably irreparable.”

“Disappointing people is my central trauma.

“I hate when I let people down, so it hurts psychologically and emotionally to know that I didn’t live up to people’s image and impression of me,” he further explained. “The work I’m trying to do is I am deeply remorseful, and I’m trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself.”
