Jada Pinkett Smith Responds To Chris Rock's Oscars Shade
Jada Pinkett Smith is moving on after Chris Rock's now-famous joke about her at the 2016 Oscars.
After  the nominations announcement revealed that, like the year before, all  the acting nominees are white, the 44-year-old actress  vowed to  boycott the ceremony. She was among many people, including celebs, who  spoke out about the lack of diversity. Oscars host and fellow  African-American star Rock had made the issue a key theme of his jokes,  including one during his monologue that dissed Jada—and husband and  actor Will Smith.
"Jada  said she's not coming. I was like, 'Isn't she on a TV show?' Jada's  gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me  boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited!"
On Saturday, Jada made her first public comments about Rock since the Oscars.
"It  comes with the territory, sweetheart," she told photographers as she  made her way through Los Angeles International Airport. "Hey look, it  comes with the territory but we gotta keep it moving. There's a lot of  stuff we gotta handle, a lot of stuff in our world right now. We gotta  keep it moving."
In his  monologue, Rock also said Jada's "man Will was not nominated for  Concussion. I get it. You get mad. It's not fair that Will was this good  and didn't get nominated. You're right. It's also not fair that Will  was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!"
Will  was spotted leaving the set of his upcoming film Collateral Beauty in  New York City a day after the Oscars. When asked about Rock's remarks,  the actor flashed his  famous smile and displayed the peace sign.
-E!
