Ricky Gervais has said that he wouldn’t have joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s appearance, but rather her “boyfriend”.
The comedian said to the crowd: “People were going, ‘What would have happened if Ricky Gervais had been doing it [hosting the Oscars]?’”
Gervais had previously made reference to the Oscars incident on Twitter by retweeting a clip from The Office that featured a joke about alopecia, the condition Pinkett Smith suffers from.
During the discussion, Pinkett Smith said her relationship with Alsina occurred while her and Will were separated.
