WATCH: The video that you did not see, Jada Pinkett Smith reacts to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock
The tables are turning and we get to see Jada's reaction to this viral debacle...
Taking a look from a different perspective, inside the eyes of Jada, we see what actually went on from her side with this comment and slap.
We all know that Chris was caught between a rock and a hard place, but let's cut through what happened on paper and see things from Jada's side.
Watch this different angle below:
WATCH: Will Smith smacks Chris Rock live at Oscars over a joke about his wife
@305hoodhero Bet y’all ain’t see it from this Angle 😂 Watch Jada’s reaction!!! Staged or She just Psycho? 😂 🤔 #fyp #foryoupage #staged #oscars #willsmith #chrisrock ♬ original sound - Big O
The infamous Oscar slap has led to so many questions and unanswered conspiracies...
Was it staged, why didn't Chris Rock move, why was it deleted from the American footage but not the Australian, and so much more...
The one thing we do know is that there is much more to the story than what meets they eye.
Could this new camera angle show what we've been missing?
The footage was captured on a phone by @akademiks from just a few seats behind Jada.
The most notable moment comes in the first few seconds when Chris Rock announces that “Will Smith just slapped the sh*t out of me." Jada appears to be seen (a view from behind) laughing, just like most of the audience does before it became clear that the incident was not scripted.
Nervous laughter... we're all guilty of it when something awkward or 'hectic' happens.

Will Smith has since taken to his Instagram to speak out on the debacle.
He was subsequently asked to leave the Oscars and faced major criticism online.
Read his explanation below:
Will has further stated that he is a "work in progress" and is going to right his wrongs.
Jada has made the most of the situation saying "it is a season for healing" and she is "here for it".
We are still perplexed about what this means about the situation and whether or not it was staged or not, however, with all the major criticism received online, as well as the career backlash, we can't see the reason for this being staged other than to cause a buzz online (not that these celebs needed the clout).
What are your thoughts?
We can't wait to see what happens on Red Table Talk
