Vivica A. Fox Assures There Is 'No Beef' With Will Smith & Jada Pinkett After Oscars Slap Scandal

Vivica A. Fox has nothing but love for the Smiths! The sensational actress insists her past issues with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are officially water under the bridge.

The trio are some of the world's greatest entertainers of all time, each holding stellar records of achievements. However, the group clashed in 2022 following the "Aladdin" star's altercation with Chris Rock at the Oscars ceremony.

The viral moment did not sit well with the Indiana native who called out the couple, especially the "Girls Trip" actress, for lack of "accountability." A year later, the 58-year-old has placed the controversial ordeal behind her and believes the duo have done the same.

During her recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," the Hollywood veteran addressed the speculated bad blood between herself and the Smiths. When asked about the state of her friendship with the spouses, the "Soul Train" alum stressed that there were no grudges.

Per ET, the NAACP Image Award recipient said, "Can I say, there's no beef. I just said, 'Due to the situation that happened, just take accountability so that everyone can then move forward.'"

"I love Jada, I love Will, I love their whole family. I don't have beef with them," the TV personality continued, reaffirming her adoration for the famous couple. However, her feelings might not be mutual, a scenario the 58-year-old also acknowledged.

When asked if she believed the Smiths might hold a grudge against her, Fox replied: "Not that I know of." Additionally, the "Ella Enchanted" actress proved she had no animosity towards Will and Jada while playing a game with the show's host.

The activity involved sharing her first thoughts about her former co-stars, including the entertainment power couple. The Indiana native who starred alongside Will in "Independence Day" described the father of three as "a gentleman" and "a hard worker."

When asked about her "Set it Off" co-star, the Saturn Award nominee labeled Jada a "Talented little firecracker." Fox's sweet descriptions about her colleagues came a year after the "Kill Bill" star claimed the "Red Table Talk" co-host had not contacted her since commenting about the 51-year-old's lack of "accountability."

Despite the lack of communication, the Syfy Award winner insisted she had no problem with Jada and praised the TV personality's husband for owning up to his mistake. "I think they’re just really going through a season of healing right now," the entertainer began.

"Listen, I love Will Smith. He’s one of my favorite people on the planet. We all make mistakes," the 58-year-old continued. "If there’s one person that deserves a second chance, it is him. I think he’s taken full accountability for his actions, and he apologized."

Fans might remember the 94th Academy Awards ceremony went downhill after Rock made a joke about Jada's bald head. However, Will found the jab offensive, climbing on stage to slap the comedian for attacking his wife's alopecia struggles.

Following the incident, the rapper-turned-actor repeatedly apologized for his poor behavior while his wife addressed the matter on an episode of her "Red Table Talk" show. However, Fox disapproved of the younger actress's take on the controversial incident.

As mentioned above, the speculations about Fox's poor relationship with the "Gotham" actress began after she called out the 51-year-old. Fox criticized Jada for not taking "accountability" while addressing what Will had done in her honor.

Fighting back the tears during her appearance on "The Wendy Williams" show, the 58-year-old noted the incident had hurt her in more ways than one. "When I saw this video last night, it made me cry. I’ll be very honest with you guys," the TV personality confessed.

According to Fox, Jada had a role in the scandal, yet she had not taken responsibility as the "Emancipation" star's wife. "Will Smith was defending her honor; that’s the reason he walked on stage and slapped him because he felt like his wife had been offended," the BET Award nominee continued.

"So for me to see no accountability as a partner. Also, let’s not forget Chris Rock was assaulted. We cannot forget that for basically telling a joke that I really felt wasn’t that bad," the "Getting Played" actress added.

Assuring fans that she was not against the Smiths, the "Missing" producer concluded: "I just wish we could have just a little more accountability and for it to not seem so self-righteous on Jada’s part."
