1

Looking back at her time on stage just after Will hit Chris, Jessica recalled that it was a weird night.

“I walked into a very charged energy in that room, and I was trying to figure out how to just breathe and create a calmness,” she shared.

As for her speech, Jessica said that she actually “didn’t know everything I was going to say and there [were] moments where I started to get emotional so I pulled it back, [but] I had an idea of what I wanted to use that global platform to create if I got up there.”

Following the incident, Will resigned from The Academy, and also apologized to all the nominees and winners from the night.
