While hosting this year's Academy Awards, host Chris Rock addressed the #OscarsSoWhite controversy and Jada Pinkett Smith's boycott of the ceremony, but the actress isn't letting Rock's jabs get her down.

In his opening monologue, Rock roasted Pinkett Smith, saying, "Jada says she's not coming. Protesting. I'm like, ‘Ain't she on a TV show?'"

"Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited! Oh, that's not an invitation I would turn down!" the comedian added.

The actress responded to questions about Rock's jokes while walking through LAX, according to Entertainment Tonight:
