In a series of revelations, Jada Pinkett Smith has been making headlines lately. Following her revelation about her separation from her husband and actor Will Smith since 2016, she has now dropped another bombshell. Jada has disclosed that amidst the swirling rumors about her impending divorce from Will Smith, comedian Chris Rock once approached her for a date.
Speaking to People, Jada said, "I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce. And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce. So he called me and basically he was like, ‘I'd love to take you out.’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren't you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumors.’ He was appalled. And he profusely apologized and that was that."

She also revealed that Chris came downstage after the infamous slap incident to speak to her. “Chris came down to the end of the stage and tried to apologize to me. He said, ‘I didn't mean you any harm.’ I said, ‘I can't talk about this now, Chris. This is some old s---.’ I thought this was [about] the Oscar 2016 and … their stuff that they had before I even came into the picture in the late ‘80s. I’ve got to leave that to Will and Chris to talk about, but they got their stuff for sure,” Jada stated.
