Nick Cannon calls 'Red Table Talk' 'toxic' and blamed the show for the 2022 Oscars slap after cancelation announcement

• Nick Cannon says he favors Meta's decision to cancel "Red Table Talk."
• The show featured Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow and her mother, Adrienne.
• Cannon said the show was "toxic" Friday and catalyzed the 2022 Oscars slap. 

Nick Cannon says he's in favor of the recent cancellation of Jada Pinkett Smith's show "Red Table Talk" — calling it "toxic" and the blame for the infamous 2022 Oscars slap. 

He made the comments during his radio show "The Daily Cannon" on Friday, the Los Angeles Times reported, a day after Meta decided to cancel the Facebook Watch show featuring Pinkett Smith, her mother Adrienne, and daughter Willow. 

"If there was no 'Red Table Talk,' then he wouldn't have slapped the shit out of Chris Rock," Cannon said, referring to when Will Smith walked on stage and slapped the comedian after he made a joke about Pinkett Smith's bald head.

A representative for Pinkett Smith did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. 

Pinkett Smith and Smith opened up about their personal lives during an episode of "RTT" released in 2020. The actress said that she had an "entanglement" with R&B singer August Alsina when there was turbulence in their marriage leading them to separate "amicably," as Insider previously reported. 

"I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," Pinkett Smith said during the episode. "In the process of that relationship, I definitely realized that you can't find happiness outside of yourself. And luckily enough, you and I were also going through a process of healing of a much different matter."

Following the viral episode, which has garnered nearly 50 million views,  Smith became a meme due to fans thinking he was emotional during the conversation. However, the couple cleared the air and said that wasn't the case. 

"They made all the memes about my brother Will on that damn table. They didn't need to do that," Cannon joked on his radio show, later adding: "I just want to mind my black-owned business. I don't want to be up in everybody else kitchen. Keep that shit to yourselves."
