I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences eventually ruled that Smith will be banned from returning to the Oscars or attending any other Academy events for the next 10 years. Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories.

The episodes are Pinkett Smith's first major response since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock.

When presenting an award at the Oscars in March, Rock joked about Pinkett Smith, who was seated with Smith close to the stage, and compared her appearance to the movie character G.I. Jane. Smith took to the stage and slapped and yelled at Rock. Later that night he won the award for Best Oscar. Smith apologized to Rock and to the Academy, which he permanently resigned from. The Academy also banned Smith from being able to attend events put on by the group for 10 years, though he can still be nominated for awards. Shortly after the incident, she said in a statement that her family is “focusing on deep healing” and some “discoveries” from that process will be shared on Red Table Talk “when the time comes.”
