DJ Jazzy has returned to the National Harbor wine festival and he’s got something to say about his longtime friend Will Smith slapping Chris Rock’s face at the Oscars for joking about Jada’s bald head. It looks like people, especially, celebrities aren’t done with reacting to the Oscars mess caused by Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
A bit on the National Harbor Wine Festival according to WTOP;
“It’s a wine festival, a rosé festival, but everybody wears pink and white,” Jeff said. “It has great talent and people have a good time. Last year was the first one that I did and it was just amazing looking at a sea of people enjoying themselves. … My job in between these acts is to make everybody have a good time, so throw your glass in the air and let’s go!”
This is what DJ Jazzy had to say on the Oscars slap brouhaha;
“A lapse in judgment,” Jeff said. “It’s just different when the lapse in judgment comes from one of the most recognizable figures on the planet, but that is probably nothing more than 99.9% of us have done at some point in our life. It just so happened that he did it on national television at the Oscars. People aren’t defined by their lapses in judgment.”
“It’s unfortunate,” Jeff said. “More than anything, I know Will and I know his character. He was very remorseful, and I’ve stated before, I’ve seen this man avoid bad lapses in judgment more than anybody I know when he could have. It just so happened that this was the one. … This is one of my closest friends. I made sure he’s OK, and he’s OK.”
Add Jazzy Jeff to the list of people who believe the stress that Jada Pinkett has caused Will Smith made him act of character on Oscars night.
