She could be seen chatting about her life and career with the audience at the ticketed event as she beamed throughout.
Last year, Jada – who suffers from alopecia – was infamously the butt of a joke made by Chris Rock at last year’s Oscars.
The gag prompted Will to go up and smack the comedian in the face but Jada decided to stay by Will’s side amid the controversy even though they had already split up by then.
Appearing on The One Show in October, Jada said: ‘I knew it was going to be an intense reaction. And that was the moment that I decided that I was going to stay by his side.
‘You know, it’s funny how intense situations can amplify love, and it was a pretty difficult time, but it definitely drew us closer. So yeah, it’s, crazy how things work.
She added: ‘I would say that Will and I have decided to be in a relationship that fits what we desire, and so, we had our separation and then the Oscars came and we are definitely on a different trajectory.
‘But I will not say that it’s in a traditional way, for sure. We decided to be together in a way that works for us.’
In the explosive memoir, she has revealed how the dynamics of her marriage with famous actor and Will changed after the Oscars.

Ouch: At the 94th Academy Awards, Will strode onto the stage and slapped Chris after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada looking like ‘G.I. Jane’ because of her bald head
Making it work: The American actress also revealed how she and Will have made the mutual decision to work towards a ‘non-traditional relationship’, given their past (pictured in March)
The pair had secretly separated six years prior to the incident, and Jada – who was Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22, with her estranged husband – eventually confessed that the incident came as a total shock.
She said: ‘I’m not thinking in a million years he’s getting up on stage and it has anything to do with me!’
Speaking to Red magazine, she added: ‘That’s when your relationship gets deeper than romance or all the c**p that comes with marriage.
‘I was just really concerned about Will. And I realised in that moment that, as challenging as our relationship can be, I’m always going to be by his side, no matter what.’
