Vivica Fox Says She Thought It Was “Tacky” For Laverne Cox To Bring Up Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Entanglements” During SAG Awards: “Wrong Couple To Insult!”
On Sunday, actress Laverne Cox hosted the SAG Awards 2022 red carpet where she interviewed other major stars including Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Although the night went pretty well for her, fans couldn’t get over her viral moment with the famous couple.
Laverne was in the middle of thanking Will and Jada “for all the years of joy you’ve brought us” when she mentioned one of the biggest moments in their relationship. Laverne said: “Thank you. We can’t wait for more ‘Red Table Talk’ and more entanglements.” She was referring to the “Matrix” star’s extramarital relationship with singer August Alsina in 2015. While many found the moment to be funny, Laverne was also labeled “messy” for bringing that up. As many know, the word “entanglement” went viral when Jada confirmed her relationship with Alsina, 29, but refused to actually call it an affair.
The hosts of “Cocktails With Queens” weighed on the viral moment on their latest episode and co-host Vivica A. Fox was just not here for it. Here’s what she had to say:
“I absolutely thought it was tacky. To me that was something like… maybe she was trying to have her Joan Rivers moment. Everybody always tries to get their ‘ahaha moment that goes viral and I just think that you have to pick and choose ‘cause darling, please remember that Will Smith and Jada are a power couple.” Fox went on to say, “you just have to watch when you’re climbing the latter of success that who you choose to insult; and I thought it was wrong place, wrong time.”
