The blushing bride - who had a total

LOS ANGELES - Tatyana Ali has defended Will Smith as a ‘beautiful person.’ The former ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ actress (44), who played Will’s cousin Ashley Banks on the NBC sitcom from 1990 to 1996, didn’t want to directly address how Smith (54), assaulted comic Chris Rock (58), at last year’s Oscars. But she told Page Six at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon in New York: “He’s a beautiful person who has done so much good. “I don’t want to talk about it (the Oscars slap) because he is somebody who is very close to me and it’s hurtful.” She also told how her parents kept he on the straight and narrow as a child star.

Ali added: “My family doesn’t care about whether I’m in entertainm­ent or a teacher.

“They care about me. I have friends who didn’t fare very well and I think it has to do with when you’re a kid. Yes, you’re working, but you’re still a kid and you need someone to protect you and say no. My parents weren’t playing that at all. I had chores like my sisters. I had to go to college.”
