Stars like Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez caught some flak on social media from fans who watched their appearances at the “Chime For Change” event in the U.K. last week. Critics blasted the stars for wearing skimpy outfits at an event that was supposed to empower women. But actress Jada Pinkett-Smith got irritated with all of the shade being thrown and posted a statement on Facebook.

“Whose body is this anyway?

There was some backlash about the performance outfits for the Chime concert. Since a woman’s body has been deeply connected to sin, it’s easy to forget all the power and beauty her body and sexuality possesses. Yes, with this power comes great responsibility, but how was Beyonce’s tasteful outfit irresponsible? Here is the problem I see, a woman’s body is too much power for one woman to have, even Beyonce. Although we see corporations exploit this power through women and girls, with far less clothing on than Beyonce, to sell their products, do we protest? But hey, a woman has to be in check, right? Know her position since we’ve all been taught that a powerful woman is dangerous and that a powerful man makes the world go round. Here’s the deal… soon the reign of shame on a woman’s body and her control of it will end. She will be autonomous. For she can’t truly be free without it. And oh boy…what a different world this place will be…when she is free.”
