And we all actually need one another more than ever,” she added.
“Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that is, keep figuring out this thing called life together,” she added. “Thank you for listening,” she concluded.
Will Smith had already publicly apologised to Rock and resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but this is the first time Jada Pinkett Smith has spoken out about the incident.
