Immediately after Will Smith walked off of the Oscars stage, the world knew that the next season of Red Table Talk was going to be lit. Chris Rock has yet to formally speak about being slapped by Smith at the Academy Awards, and it has been suggested that the comedian won’t do so until someone signs off on a hefty paycheck. This week, the trailer for the next season of Facebook Watch’s Red Table Talkhit the internet and people quickly watched, hoping to receive a glimpse into Smith speaking with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and their family about his recent infamous moment.
However, fans were left disappointed when the trailer didn’t mention the controversy, and in response, it is reported that Jada issued a statement regarding the topic’s exclusion.
