Will Smith’s ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, has reportedly “slipped” from a 2022 Academy Awards party after the actor punched Chris Rock during Sunday’s ceremony.

“She left. She’s hanging out with him and the family tonight,” Kyle Richards, 53, told Extra on the red carpet at the 2022 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar party.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star told the outlet that she was seated next to Zampino, 54, at the star-studded viewers’ party when the controversial moment aired on live television.

When asked if the “RHOBH” newcomer had any facial reactions, Richards said she couldn’t recall anything notable.

“To be honest, we were confused. Now I’m starting to think it was real,” Richards said. “We were honestly just so shocked.”
