Laverne Cox Responds to Backlash Over Jada Pinkett “Entanglement” Quip

Laverne Cox is getting candid.

For, the ‘Orange Is The New Black’ actress is now clearing the air in regards to her “entanglement” quip toward Jada Pinkett.

Full story below…

At the recent SAG Awards Cox interviewed Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. It was then that she said: “We can’t wait for more ‘Red Table Talk’ and more entanglements.” While the comment was brushed off, in a recent Instagram Live, Cox clarified her statement.

In the video obtained by our friends at The Shade Room, Cox said:

“That was the moment that many of you thought was tasteless and tacky and wrong time, wrong place. I’ve been thinking about it, I’m like, ‘Okay, let’s—no one is above critique.’ I like to hold myself accountable, this is part of my process as a human being. When I’m wrong I try to promptly admit it.”

She then went on to say that she is a huge fan of the power couple and is proud of what they accomplished with the series.

“But, I want to take a moment to just critically reflect on it. So, the thing is for me, I love Red Table Talk, I love ‘Red Table Talk’ and I love what the Smiths have done with ‘Red Table Talk,’ and I think my error is that I had so many things that I wanted to say to the Smiths and we didn’t have time.”

Cox continued by stating she intended for it to be a funny quip and that her intent was “not to mock or make fun” of the situation. She also said that she would be willing to give the Smith’s an apology if they wished for one.
