American actress, TV host, and producer Jada Pinkett Smith has disclosed in her latest memoir, “Worthy,” that Chris Rock, invited her on a date.
According to the controversial mother of two, Rocks’ invitation came during the period when rumors circulated that she was going through a divorce from estranged husband, Will Smith, a few years before the Oscars incident.
Well, it seems the drama involving Will Smith, 55, Chris Rock, 58 and Jada Pinkett Smith, 52 appears to extend far beyond the well-known Oscars incident in 2022.
Speaking to People Magazine ahead of her book’s debut said:
“I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce.”
“And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce,” she continued. “So he called me and basically he was like, ‘I’d love to take you out.’
“And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren’t you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumors.’ He was appalled,” Jada recalled.
