The Aftermath of the Slap: Could Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Be Heading For Divorce?

Could Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith be heading for divorce?

The famous couple has remained under the microscopic public eye since the events of this year's Oscar Awards. When comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, the King Richard actor stormed the stage and slapped Rock in the face. Smith has apologized to the Academy and to Chris Rock, but recent reports suggest that the events may have put an even greater strain on their already complicated marriage.

According to a Tweet from Ok! Magazine, Will and Jada could be facing, "one of the ugliest divorces in show biz history." A source shared with Heat Magazine that, "Ever since the Oscars scandal, tensions between them have been palpable...There have been problems for years, but they're barely speaking right now."

There is a lot of speculation about what happened on Oscar night. While everything is caught on tape, the moment that keeps people wondering is the moment right after the joke and right before the slap. Will Smith seems to laugh at the joke while Jada Pinkett Smith rolls her eyes. The next thing the world knew, we were watching the soon to be award winning actor storming the stage. If these actions don't premeditate these whispers of a divorce, we don't know what does.

This has been an incredibly complicated time. We hope that the two are able to find peace and work things out in the best way possible. We will keep you informed on more details as they come to light.
