Rock has said that he’s still processing what happened that night. Smith posted a public apology for his behavior, but sources told TMZ that the “Fresh Prince” actor has not contacted Rock to personally apologize for his actions.

“This is a season for healing and I’m here for it,” Pinkett Smith shared on Instagram following the attack but has not commented directly on her husband’s act of violence. (RELATED: REPORT: Chris Rock’s Ticket Sales Surged After ‘Slapgate’)

Pinkett Smith has previously stated that she does not feel she fits into a “conventional wife” role in her marriage to Smith. She referred to the title “wife” as a “golden cage,” and that her marriage nearly killed her. Smith’s most recent actions prompted Twitter users to call out Pinkett Smith for her consistent public disrespect of her marriage and husband.

Of all the things going on in that relationship between Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith we’re to believe this was the moment – a hair joke from Chris Rock – where Smith gets all old fashioned and chivalrous. Right.

Smith attacked Rock after the comedian cracked a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, something she “don’t give two craps” about, according to TMZ. The Smith family has not responded to the newly released video, the NY Post noted.
