In her statement, Jada Pinkett Smith called out Will Smith and Rock directly, saying that she hopes both actors can eventually talk the matter out and come to a peaceful reconciliation.

Fox reacted to the episode on The Wendy Williams Show, criticizing The Matrix Reloaded actress for taking “no accountability” for her part in Will Smith’s actions. She said that it was hard for her to talk about what happened, especially because she had worked with Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith on separate projects in the past. “These are my peers,” she said emotionally.

Fox said that she cried after watching Jada Pinkett Smith’s address. She felt like a partner to Will Smith because of their professional history. Fox also said that she believed he was going to be crowned “this generation’s Sidney Poitier” that night.
