Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Have Been Separated Since 2016???  

Chris Rock took that Oscar slap for NOTHING . . . because Will Smith and Jada Pinkett weren't even together when it happened.

 

 

Jada is out promoting her new memoir, "Worthy" . . . in which she reveals that they've been living separate lives since 2016. 

 

 

They're not technically divorced, and they aren't planning to file . . . but they are no longer "romantically" together.

 

 

Of course they could have shared this news sooner . . . like when the word came out about Jada's "entanglement" with August Alsina.  Or after the slap.

 

 

But in an interview with Hoda Kotb on the "Today" show yesterday, Jada said they weren't ready because, quote, "[We were] still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership."

 

   

Jada said "a lot of things" contributed to their split.  Quote, "I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying.  I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be."

 

 

In a separate interview with "People", Jada said she and Will are, quote, "doing some really heavy-duty work together.  We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us."

Jada Pinkett Says Chris Rock Once Asked Her Out    

 

 

  In her upcoming memoir "Worthy," Jada Pinkett reveals that Chris Rock once ASKED HER OUT. 

 

 

It happened one summer when there were rumors that she and Will Smith were divorcing.  He called her and said, quote, "I'd love to take you out." 

 

 

But when she told him they weren't divorcing, he, quote, "profusely apologized and that was that."

 

 

In her interview with "People", Jada says she's, quote, "had my feelings hurt a lot by Chris" over the years.  And she thinks it goes back to a misunderstanding they had over the 2016 Oscars.

 

 

That was the year of the #OscarsSoWhite campaign, which Jada was a very vocal supporter of.  She even called for a boycott of the show.  But Chris was the HOST that year, and she thinks he took it personally.

 

He even made jokes about her in his monologue.  

 

In that same interview, Jada discussed THE SLAP.  And she said that, like the rest of us, she initially thought it was a SKIT.

 

 

Quote, "I was like, 'There's no way that Will hit him.'  It wasn't until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realized it wasn't a skit."

 

 

The first thing Jada said to Will once they were alone was, quote, "Are you okay?"

 

 

Jada says that right after the slap, during a commercial break, Chris came to the end of the stage and tried to apologize to her.  But she told him, quote, "I can't talk about this now, Chris.  This is some old [stuff]."

 

 

As for the joke that prompted the slap, Jada won't say it offended her.  Quote, "I mean, that's what comedians do. 

 

 

"I would just have to say that I am not really here to make any judgment on how people decide to express themselves and express their art."
