It was on March 27th, 2022, when the 94th Academy Awards took place. The annual award show, in its history of honoring cinematography, featured a shocking scene. Some thought it was a “skit” when the famous actor, Will Smith, slapped the comedian, Chris Rock, live on stage. The incident occurred because Chris Rock joked about Will’s wife, Jada Smith’s haircut. A year later, Jada Smith announced her separation from her husband, Will Smith. After concealing the news for seven long years, the Hollywood industry is going gaga about it. Even the sports broadcasting world seems to be gripped by the news.

Former NFL player Shannon Sharpe has been the face of commentary for a long time now. Post-retirement, Sharpe has taken to his podcast, “Club Shay Shay,” to discuss athletes and celebrities and talk about the most recent news stories. Recently, Sharpe interviewed the famous American comedian, Bruce Church. The two talked about a wide range of topics. As their conversation developed, Bruce made sure to give his take about the Jada-Will drama. The comedian also shed light on Jada Smith’s “lifestyle.”
