Jada Pinkett Smith is finally responding to being mocked by Chris Rock at the Oscars – and she's definitely taking the high road.
Ahead of this year's Academy Awards, Jada and Will Smith garnered headlines for leading the charge in boycotting over a lack of diverse nominations.
Jada's particular involvement was soundly ridiculed by Oscars host Chris Rock, who joked during the gala: "Jada [Pinkett Smith] boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited!"
The Smiths have been quiet about Chris Rock's mockery of their boycott in the days since the February 28 gala – until now.
Asked about the controversy by X17, Jada said: "Hey look, it comes with the territory. But we gotta keep it moving. We gotta keep it moving.
"We gotta keep it moving. There's a lot of stuff we gotta handle, a lot of stuff in our world right now. We gotta keep it moving."
Although Jada's specific boycott was a target of ridicule from Chris Rock, he did rip into Hollywood for its racial biases throughout the ABC awards show.
In the response outrage over the #OscarsSoWhite controversy this year, the Academy has vowed to double its female and diverse members by 2020.
