After his controversial physical altercation with Rock at the Oscars this year, Will took to social media a number of times to apologize for his behavior. The actor's wife, Jada, also spoke about the issue, however not in a way Fox approved.

In June, the 48-year-old got emotional on "The Wendy Williams Show," talking about Jada's comments concerning the Oscar incident. There she spoke of the married couple and how the "Collateral" star's comments "made [her] cry."

She continued, "I really felt that to be a partner to Will Smith — whose career basically took a crumble that night … I felt to be a good partner, there was no accountability." Fox added that she "wished that we could have had a little bit more accountability and for it to not seem so self-righteous on Jada's part."

The actress continued, "I mean, listen, no one ever expected that to happen. All of us were literally blindsided and disappointed by a very unfortunate event that took the air out of the building. I told the truth. I always tell the truth. I think that's how to operate."
