“This is going to be difficult for me,” she began. “These are my peers. I’ve done a movie with both of them. ‘Set It Off’ with Jada and ‘Independence Day’ with Will Smith, which absolutely changed my life.”

While struggling to hold back tears, she continued: “When I saw this video last night. It made me cry. I’ll be very honest with you guys…I really felt, to be a partner to Will Smith—whose career basically took a crumble that night—we were all rooting for Will Smith that night [Oscar night]. We all wanted him to win. Will Smith that night, as far as I’m concerned, was going to be crowned this generation’s Sydney Poitier…which is a huge honor.”

“I felt to be a good partner, there was no accountability,” Fox added. “Will Smith was defending her [Jada] honor. That was the reason he walked on stage and slapped [Chris Rock] because he felt like his wife had been offended. So for me to see no accountability as a partner.”

She pointed out that viewers should not forget that Chris Rock was assaulted for telling a joke that she felt wasn’t that bad. Fox also highlighted the fact that the show was executively produced by Will Packard, a Black man.

After expressing her love for the Smith family, Fox ended by saying how she wishes there was a little more accountability and for it to not seem so self-righteous on Jada’s part. Kressley referred to Jada’s demeanor in the video as “robotic. Fox followed up by describing her stance as a “little cold.”
