has revealed she missed ’s slap at the Oscars – because she was in the loo.
The Let Me Love You hitmaker attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday with film director boyfriend , and admits she ‘doesn’t remember much’ as she was drinking and dancing the night away.
However, there was one thing she did remember – she missed the moment that had everybody talking, because she was in the bathroom.
That being, in the highly unlikely event you haven’t heard, Oscar-winner Willbecause the comedian joked about, who has alopecia.
Speaking on the radio show on Wednesday, the pop star said she was ‘very annoyed’ with herself as she admitted missing the show-stopping moment.
One of the most to come from the Vanity Fair Oscars Party is a table full of celebrities – including Taika, Jason Bateman and Ron Howard, looking absolutely shocked as they frantically google what exactly they had just witnessed on stage.
Hosts Fitzy and Wippa asked Rita why she wasn’t there, to which she admitted she had missed the moment entirely.
‘I suddenly had to go to the bathroom at that point, which I’m very annoyed about’ she laughed.
When she returned to the room and the atmosphere had – it’s fair to say – changed somewhat, she had to ask herself: ‘What is going on?!’
‘What is happening?’ she laughed.
When asked if the After Party was buzzing with the drama, Rita brushed it off and insisted she was just there ‘to have a good time with my friends’, adding she and boyfriend Taika had a fantastic night.
Both Will’s slap and Chris’ joke have proved controversial, being condemned by much of the public, charities, although there has also been some .
Will himself for the incident, saying sorry to the organisers of the awards and to Chris himself with a statement issued the day after the ceremony.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor addressed the shocking incident in an Instagram post, and admitted he was ’embarrassed’ by his actions.
‘Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,’ he began. ‘My behaviour at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.
‘Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.’
He continued: ‘I would like to publicly apologise to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong.
‘I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.’
