For the first time since her husband made a fuss at the Oscars, Jada Pinkett Smith is making a name for herself on social media.

During this weekend’s awards ceremony, husband Will Smith patted Chris Rock in front of a packed hall and millions of TV viewers, after a joke at her expense.
On Tuesday afternoon, Smith posted a short post on Instagram:
– This is a time for healing, and I’m here for it.
It is not clear whether the quote is about this weekend’s drama, which overshadowed the rest of the Oscars and has since dominated the headlines worldwide.
Nausea of the tribute stone
Actor Jim Carrey tells CBS on Tuesday night Norwegian time that he was disgusted by the way the audience reacted – or not responded – to the episode.
After Smith’s speech of thanks when he won the award for best male lead, he received standing ovations.
– I was nauseous from the tribute. Hollywood has no backbone and it felt like a clear indication that we are not “the cool club” anymore, Carrey told the channel according to Deadline.
He also says he thinks Smith should have been arrested. But Chris Rock himself has said that he does not want to report the incident to the police.
– I had gone out today and said I’m suing Will for $ 200 million, because that video will be there forever, Carrey says, and continues:
– You can shout from the hall and show dissatisfaction, or say something on Twitter. You do not have the right to go up on stage and pat someone in the face because they sa ord.
