The infamous 2022 Oscars<\/strong> slap was a defining moment in Will Smith<\/strong>\u2019s career — and also in his marriage.<\/p>\n Last month, Jada Pinkett Smith<\/strong> revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show<\/em> that she and the King Richard<\/em> star are \u201cstaying together forever\u201d despite their 2016 split, which she opened up about in her highly talked about memoir, Worthy<\/em> — and she credits the slap!<\/p>\n Related: Nick Cannon BLASTED For ‘Dark Skin VS Light Skin’ Competition!<\/strong><\/p>\n On Saturday, the 52-year-old told DailyMail.com<\/em>:<\/p>\n \u201cAfter all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will\u2019s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn\u2019t happened?\u201d<\/p>\n OMG!<\/p>\n This is definitely something she\u2019s touched on before, telling Vanity Fair<\/em> back in October she and Will \u201cdid some really deep work together\u201d\u00a0 after the incident. She explained at the time:<\/p>\n \u201cAs soon as I was like, \u2018Oh snap, you hit Chris?\u2019 I was like, \u2018I\u2019m riding with you\u2019. I didn\u2019t come into this place as your wife, but I\u2019m leaving here as your wife because we got a storm we\u2019re going to have to deal with together. I am not gonna leave your side.\u201d<\/p>\n But what she didn\u2019t share at the time was that she nearly skipped out on the coveted celebration of film! She explained:<\/p>\n \u201cI nearly didn\u2019t even attend the Oscars that year, but I\u2019m glad I did That moment of the s**t hitting the fan is when you see where you really are.\u201d<\/p>\n And by the Bad Boys <\/em>actor’s\u00a0side is apparently where she saw herself wanting to be!<\/p>\n In retrospect, the best selling author looks back on the slap as a \u201choly\u201d moment — because it led to where the couple are now:<\/p>\n \u201cI call it the \u2018holy slap\u2019 now because so many positive things came after it.\u201d<\/p>\n Will and Jada clearly make things work in their own way — as they should!
