In the days since Will Smith walked onto the stage at the Academy Awards and slapped Chris Rock over a joke, dozens of celebrities have shared their views on what went down, with Smith and Pinkett Smith’s storied marriage back in the spotlight.

The pair have been one of Hollywood’s most famous couples for decades after tying the knot in 1997, but recent revelations about their open marriage have seen their relationship scrutinized.

“choose peace; trusting that life’s intricate puzzle pieces are all forming together for the greater good and mastering of the seasonally sometime chaotic nature of your life’s art piece that’s being formed and painted by birthing life to your internal masterpiece; grown through external chaos-metamorphosing alchemy, dark turned 2 light and beauty within,” Alsina wrote in part in a long-winded caption posted to Instagram late on March 29.

Back in 2020, rumors that Pinkett Smith had had an affair with Alsina began circulating, prompting the actress to open up about the situation, alongside her husband, on an episode of her show, Red Table Talk.

“We decided that we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I’ll figure out how to make myself happy,” Smith said in the now-infamous episode of the show, as Pinkett Smith added: “From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August…Yes, it was a relationship absolutely.”

Alsina, an R&B singer, revealed during an interview with Angela Yee that he was in a relationship with Pinkett Smith and that they had her husband’s blessing.

In September 2021, Smith opened up about their non-monogamous relationship, telling GQ: We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way."

Alsina continued in his post this week: “I’m A Walking Billboard & Network Simply Desiring To Televise & Broadcast Love, the love, grace and healing embrace of God, Good Music that’s healing (w/ a lil bit of nasty) (cus the art of sharing temples can too be healing.”

Smith has since apologized to Rock for the altercation at the Oscars writing on social media: “Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”

Meanwhile, Pinkett Smith broke her silence on the slap on Tuesday morning in an Instagram post about healing.

“This is a season for healing, and I am here for it,” she said in a post.
