Jada Pinkett Smith on Her Journey to Hollywood, Marriage to Will Smith & the Oscars 'Slap' | PEOPLE 

She tries to speak like she’s a therapist when in reality she NEEDS a therapist. Heart goes out to Will. She reduced him to less than.

" I havent been able to get rid of him since" ....more loving words have never been spoken. Lol

Always been a big red flag to me when one person in the relationship never takes accountability for their own behavior and places blame on the other...I have never heard this woman hold herself accountable. Her husband takes it all.

Wish both Will and Jada find true love and happiness...

Anytime anyone rich or poor thinks of suicide it’s extremely heartbreaking. It just goes to show you that money doesn’t always equate happiness.😢😢

People are so traditional that they can't allow a woman to live her life as free spirited as Jada does. Will and Jada give eachother freedom and protect their empire by not divorcing and split everything. They truly have a friendship and an honest partnership. They are more true and open than most people do. I applaud their honesty and the unconditional love they share. 💯💯💯

Why is it so hard for people to realize that Jada has lead a different life than most of us. She had massive trauma in her past as a child. She was selling hard drugs as a teen. Her parents were addicts. Her reality is not your reality. Give her some grace. I have to applaud Will for holding on for so long to this marriage, even though they have been living separately for many years. They still have each other’s backs. I applaud both of them for trying to always be there for each other. Marriage looks different for everyone.

Will is her meal ticket. And she is not willing to leave. Will is living in a fantasy about a family. He deserves everything he gets. There comes a time you realize what you have and who you are with. Jada is crazy and so is Will

This takes so much courage and I’m happy she’s addresses real life experiences. Nothing you choose will give you a perfect experience, everything takes work, everything requires sacrifice, free will is the choice you make.

I just feel so sorry for Will at this point

I wish them both the best i hope they find true happyiness ,and peace🙏🏽

Will : Get my wife name of your fckin mouth!! Jada : who's wife? 😭

No book or interview is going to change the narrative that this family is strange....this beautiful woman has lost all sense of reality....She does an interview it gets worst...Trying anything (psychedelic drugs) to find peace...She doesn't want a divorce she wants to be relevant...If you are a woman and are somehow inspired by this...Lord help you too

Hit hard when she said she turned 40 and life changed. Happened to me too. 40 ain’t no joke folks…. It’s like a turning point of self reflection and the knowing life is not something you can control 100%.

Emotional intelligence, stability and awareness are key to life. Jada does not have any of it.

She said a lot at the beginning in regards to meeting will, a lesson that everyone should take note of; “I’d run into Will a million times, and he really tried it, for years.I didn’t even recognize that.” Don’t chase after a woman, don’t chase after a man. You might catch them, but you’ll be chasing after them the rest of your life, like we see in this situation.

The most toxic relationship between her and Will. It's all about her.. she's great at talking about HER situations about how SHE'S affected by life and situations. But as she says herself she doesn't have empathy for other people and how her behaviour can hurt them. She knows how she's been hurt and what she's sensitive too.. but thinks her behaviour is excusable because she has "reasons"

Notice how she talks about how loved she is by her kids and not how much she loves them. NARCISSIST

Jada is seriously "emotionally sick" and Will is just as sick as she is. Their relationship is extremely toxic and I really pity their children 😢

She always seemed odd to me.. She tries to portray herself as smart or cutting edge but she actually seems like a narcissistic gaslamper. Will seemed so happy go lucky but got life sucked out of him.

❤ loved the interview

This is a hollywood couple to a T. They don't really love each other but both of them individually benefit from the appearance of being this exceptional couple who raised an exceptional family. Will and Jada both hold money above everything else and I can't really feel sad for either one of them. They aren't idiots, they are just selfish.

In the beginning of her relationship with Will she looks so happy in her pictures with him. As the years go by the smiles seem forced and the happiness doesn't really seem there. I hope she finds the happiness and health she is seeking.

This is the kind of stuff Jada should be talking with to her close friend or therapist not the whole world I know we all have our demons and stuff but she needs to understand she comes from a big name and a lot of people will be affected by the things she says she shouldn’t have exposed all this information

I don’t get narcissistic vibes. I think once an idea gets into people’s head they’re unable to look at things with fresh eyes again

She did not condemn Will for hitting Chris. She mentioned Chris's name a lot ....... She really says a whole lot of nothing

She really looks and sounds unwell. Hope both of them find peace

We don’t know what is really happening. They are not going to let us in. It’s a reason why they are together still.

I was keen to read the book just from hearing about it. Listening to another podcast interview telling this story sold me. I look forward to hearing more from her perspective.

Its not always best to stay married. I think Will is so obsessed with not divorcing they allowed too much. Now that i think back i remember thinking it was odd that his ex wife was on vacations with them. It was like he had to look so put together. Then they started saying life partner. He would say his divorce was his biggest life failure while being remarried. I definitely don't see Will as a victim

I believe her. We don't know anything about their world. If they share great if not great. Wish them all the ❤ and hope.

I couldn't make it all the way through. I just dont get it.

I'd rather be destitute with peace of mind than rich, depressed, suicidal and living a facade 😔

She is telling "her story". Why are people taking this and twisting it into something about Will Smith. Jada I see you. I hear you.

Jada never loved Will. She was always in love with Tupac. Are they even straight? I still love her though❤. Good job telling the truth.

Speak your truth queen. Regardless of all the judgement, only you know your truth. You have the right to choose how you run your relationship with your partner, period.Thanks for your honesty.If only more of us would be honest in our relationships.

She’s trying to sell a book. Hopefully Will when end this charade and move on with his life.

I pray for them both. This is confusing. Strange and so painful to hear😢

“I talk about it in the book” every 2 minutes lol. That’s right. Marketing genius

I just get narcissistic vibes. Always have with her. Loved her on “A Different World and “Set it Off”, “Low Down Dirty Shame.” She seemed to change once she married Smith. I don’t know how to describe it but she became such a know it all (lack of better words). But how she is bringing attention back to this yet pulling herself out of it, all while kicking Smith by saying she was hung up on him calling her wife…wow.

My mother did drugs, my father basically an alcoholic I never cheated on my husband to heal myself.

She swears that she is deep. This thing is cold evil.

She killed her golden goose. If she only had the ability to laugh at herself, he’d still have a career.

🌹🌹🌹💕💕💕Love The Smith's !Great Entertainers! !Jada Thank You for Sharing Your. Personal Struggles!With Mental Health And Spiritual Health!

’m sorry!! I love this Virgo chic! So much is said about her, but she will draw you in. ♥️♥️♥️ Now I’m glad she said “Your parents are not responsible for your wholeness”. Now on to Jada, Please tell the ghost of your childhood to please be quiet, be blessed, thank her and ask her to go away”. Open up to todays realities. “Ain’t been able to get rid of him since” 😂 I’m currently separated as well, but we are very close. I understand 🧡🧡🧡 Can’t leave someone that cares so much, more than anyone else in the world.

This is not helping. Either of them

People read too much into everything. Let her promote her book like Will did. It's more about her life and journey. The media keeps leaning into their marriage and the Chris Rock incident for clicks. Publicity is publicity. Let her live.

Thank you for the interview, Jada! Sending you love and light

This is the most toxic and manipulative woman I've ever seen. Period. I get Will screwed up his career by his own actions, but this is the person that led him to that breaking point. I feel more bad for Will than anything else. He had everything going for him, just happened to fall for the worst person as a partner and she tore him down. Jada is straight up a monster.

I am CONFUSED here...Jada's grandparents she lived with were well off. HER GRANDFATHER WAS AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST. A DOCTOR!!!!!!! THEY HAD A 2 STORY HOME!!!JADA WENT TO A PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL. ALL JADA HAD TO DO WAS MIND HER GRANDPARENTS, GO TO SCHOOL AND THATS IT!!! I'm sure they would have sent her to college or paid her expenses in LA as she pursued acting. Jada CHOSED to have her ass running around Baltimore doing whatever. She DIDNT have to sell drugs.

She was completely unhappy, this is why will is so patient and delicate with her, not only because he’s just a wonderful guy but also because he knows what goes on behind the scenes that the public doesn’t. I’m happy that she shares her story as you don’t always know what’s going on. I’m kinda shock about her parents thou, never saw that coming but nevertheless this is a perfect example that your background nor up bringing doesn’t determine your future

Think about this. She is messed up in the head. She wanted Tupac, lost him and married the Fresh Prince instead. Will was never going to be tough enough or "man" enough for her. He's to good of a person for that. She wanted then idiot that lived and died by the gun, for nothing. She made Will feel so insignificant and undervalued that he would do anything to win her favor. Go watch the Oscar slap again. Will laughed at the joke. But then he looked at her. Her face said all the toxic crap she's been tearing him down with about, "Tupac woulda..."! He woulda nothing lady! Because he's dead for being and idiot. But her face told him she was offended, and he needed to defend her. And that's what he did. What he though Tupac would do. She messed Will up. She needs to stay off the drugs, away from Will, and away from the public. She needs therapy. Will needs freedom.

Jada was dating ex-basketball player Grant Hill b4 she got with Will. They broke up, and then he met his wife (R&B singer Tamia, whom he has been married to for over 20 years. Both Will AND Jada were on the rebound. Rebound relationships rarely work out. Plus, Jada was never attracted to Will like that. I mean, how many times did he 'shoot his shot'? Then the comment about not being able to get rid of him since, made me very uncomfortable. They've put some much energy into 'making this relationship work.' That is all I've heard from them over the years. They tried Scientology, psychedelics, studied different philosophies, even went to Monks, seeking 'answers' to make themselves better people, and both grew more miserable in the relationship. They are both actors, so they played their public parts well. All I know, is that rumors about them really took wind when she was on Hawthorn, and the rumors about her allege affair with Marc Anthony. She's always one to proclaim living your truth, while she was literally living a lie. Giving advice on the Red Table Talk, when her life is jacked-up itself. Everything Jada is saying has some validity. And she may love Will for being the person that he is. But she will never admit, that it was her lack of being in love with him, is the reason why nothing was working in this marriage. She needs to come clean about that.

Loves this. So real. Most women can relate to what Jada talks about here.

This lady something else...smdh " I haven't been able to get rid of him since" WOWWWWWW

She is a narcissist through and through!She's so wrong for what she's doing to Will

I like her meal ticket please she's just more honest then most people will never speak about

Justice for Will and Chris.

I have never in my life seen someone drop so many bombs of truth but somehow single handedly deter most people from reading the book. The more she speak the less I want to know. She needs an intervention.

I dont know why but i love Jada ❤️

A life without God is like chasing after the wind, God is the only answer to all of life’s questions. I feel like Jada has not found peace and answers that only Christ can give

I’m glad I heard this story in her own words. If she’s being truthful ( coz unfortunately, I take everything with a grain of salt) I no longer have judgemental feelings towards her. She is who she is because of her upbringing. Just hearing her say that she didn’t come to this realization until her later years, I believe she is being as truthful as she can. I am now routing for her! 🙏🏻

My theory is: Will or Jada is in a loving relationship that they no longer want to hide from the 'public'. This i the reason she's spilling all the radioactive substances (I can't refer to 'it' as 'tea'.).

When was this filmed? Is this the one that was filmed on Friday?

Who else is loving the Smith drama? Love their story of love, pain, struggle, and ultimately striving to become better/healthy individuals. Yes, they hid a lot from the public but overall they're pretty honest individuals. There's so many people not even admitting any of their faults and blaming others. These two take accountability for their actions and find ways to "make it better."

I never seen someone talking so calm about their suicidal period. I know people who have really gone through such a hart time, but they talk about it with a lot more sadness, shame and their still struggling. I really don't think that she ever felt that way. I think she is a narcists and just didn't get enough attention at the time and tried everything to get it. This is just about money and her selling her "book". Once a liar, always a liar

Did anyone notice any examples of the "breadcrumbs" that the book's said to be offering? I realise they may be specifically for those who purchase the book, but, just wondering if I missed anything.

Talking slow doesn't automatically make you look smart, just makes you look "slow"

If Will divorced her, no one would care to interview her. She's a master manipulator and Will Smith is the victim. He ruined his career for this lipstick wearing monster. Hollywood is done with her. But, Will still has the people's love which lends a chance for him to make a comeback. I hope he does.

Jada is a real woman. Unapologetic! ❤

If you wanna leave, LEAVE. But dont talk shit on your way out the door. Especially if you weren't abused. Wasted a lot of this man's time and energy

Jadaaaaaa my girl!

If we’ve never lived in the glare of the public eye, been married and then separated from a high profile extremely rich celebrity like Will Smith , we can’t judge. We don’t know nothing 😆😆

Jada did exactly what millions of men do and get a pass for, but nobody cancels Jay-Z. It's not even like Will was blindsided, they are in an open relationship. Feel sorry for him all you want there's a reason his first wife divorced him.

She takes no responsibility. She's emotionally immature.

People are clueless about how a lot of Hollywood couples really are. The Smith's are just more open and honest. A lot of closeted men and women marry to maintain the persona the world expects of them...not saying that's the case but that is common. If you live in LA long enough or work in film in any capacity you see and hear things...

Jada is gorgeous, the skin, the bone structure, the style, the shaved head or short hair suits her despite her condition because she is just beautiful! This and her 'realness' is why Willl is hesitant to just walk. They are also both 'East Coast' so they understand each other even if it may not be because of love. At the end of the day, romance fades, sexual attraction fades, the only ties that bind are family and friendship. It is not my model for companionship, but hey...

She said all that only to not tell us the most important thing…how she cured alopecia :)

I think im more confused after this then i was before 🤣🤣

Wonder how Will Smith feels about Jada saying she "hasn't been able to get rid of him since."

These comments are silly.....She's allowed to tell her story and she's worth more than most that are commenting on her life.....Team Jada!

Jada gives me pathological liar vibes

Whoever told her that her "journey" would help ppl did her dirty.

Jada was raised by a loving grandmother and attended a performing arts school, engaging in dance and theater. This is hardly a rough beginning. So tired of her curated presentation.

She is a narcissist that craves attention at any cost. Will and the kids will realize this one day. I hope that Will finds a woman who truly loves him and keeps their business private.

The stuff, Jada and Will been through together, she may out grown it. We are not the same as we were 20yrs ago. But yet they both made a promise.

I believe this is something that should be between the husband and wife too deal with not the public. She just loves the attention have respect for your self leave if you have don't post it to the world

She is so messed up but still has the nerve to speak like she has wisdom to offer. The only lesson to learn from her is to not do anything she does or listen to anything she says.

So basically everyone is depressed in 21st century?? Seems like a fashionable thing to say. Thankyou God for giving me sanity as it seems im the only sane one despite having gone through all forms of abuse as a child

I remember when ppl that Jada and will was couple goals

I love you Jada!❤

I really hope that Will is okay with her sharing their business.

Honestly,i get her.I somehow understand how her upbringing affected her everyday life..

Some things need to stay private. She doesn't care about anyone but herself.

"Movie star" is a huge stretch. She is the wife of a man who "used" to be a movie star thanks to her.

Yall saying ''Poor Will'' - at least Jada is being open about her flaws and failures and how shes trying to overcome her struggles coming from a broken home and feeling unloved as a child. Will still wants to keep up the fake ''perfect'' image when he really should just *come out the closet*

Let's pray for Jada Pinkett. I mean this with love. Let's pray for her. Please remember to pray for all the people and families and children and people, women and men, and elderly affected by the war happening in Israel. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

A big slap is not a misunderstanding! No apologies nor reference about Chris' feelings after the slap but yes about hers and Will.

Communication Is A Word That's So Misunderstood And Isn't Used Properly.

I have a genuine doubt..can you colour your hair when suffering from alopecia? I hope it won't aggravate it. 😳
