In a TalkShop.Live, the actress reflected on the stories and speculation that have been generated, followed by the news of her separation from Will Smith. She said that people have misunderstood the nature of their relationship and went on to hook up stories, including her so-called entanglement with August Alsina, which she revealed in her Red Table Talk in July 2020.
“I just need people to know, OK, I did not cheat on Will Smith. No matter how sad he looked at that table. And when you read this book, you will kind of get an understanding of why the Red Table even happened in the first place.”
During that episode of Red Table Talk, Pinkett mentioned that she and Smith decided that “we were going to separate for a period of time.” However, she hadn’t disclosed until now that they have been separated for the past 7 years. Despite this lengthy separation, both are in a “really beautiful place” in their relationship.
Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s marriage was influenced by public perceptions
Despite their distorted relationship, Pinkett and Smith, all through their course of marriage, strive to maintain an image of strong and committed souls in the public eye.
During their live session, her mother, Norris, expressed her concern over Pinkett and said the one reason that Pinkett felt compelled to remain together in a strained relationship with Smith was all due to public perception.
“People had this vision in their minds and this idea in their minds of who you were as a couple, the family, and all of that, and you guys just tried to live up to it.”
When someone asked in live “if there’s an opportunity for Will and me to get back together,” Pinkett described Will as her “family” and said she and Smith are still “figuring out” their relationship. She also mentioned they have “been doing a lot of healing together”.
“And, you know, we have made our way back to this interdependence, this beautiful, loving space between us. And we’re family. And we’re figuring it out. And it’s beautiful to figure it out. Been beautiful. I get a lot of love”.
Since she has already spoken out with Today, the couples have contemplated not revealing their separation with the public because they “didn’t feel like it was something to share.”
It was a few days ago that the actress and talk show host Pinkett disclosed their relationship with Will Smith on Today revealing that they had been estranged since 2016. Despite their separation, Smith and Pinkett were unwilling to get divorced; instead, they were choosing to work on their relationship and rebuild their bond.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s new memoir, Worthy, will be available wherever books are sold from Oct. 17.
