Keep it moving.

That’s how Jada Pinkett-Smith feels about Chris Rock’s light roasting of her and husband Will Smith during his Oscars monologue.

“It comes with the territory, sweetheart,” she told X17 over the weekend. “We got to keep it moving. There’s a lot of stuff we got to handle, a lot of stuff in our world right now. We got to keep it moving.”

Rock came out swinging during his Oscars monologue, taking several shots at Pinkett-Smith’s ‘call’ for a boycott of the awards show:

Jada [Pinkett Smith] said she’s not coming. I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s going to boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!

Rock also threw some jabs at Will Smith. Unlike Jada, Will chose not to respond to questions about Rock’s jokes when TMZ approached the actor last week.

The film that Rock focused on during his monologue wasn’t Concussion – it was Wild Wild West, which folks can agree was not Smith’s finest moment as an actor:

It’s not fair that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated,” he said. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for ‘Wild Wild West’!

Clearly, neither of the Smiths have time for Rock’s pettiness.
