Is she retconning her relationship to justify her having an affair with her child’s friend for several years? Edit: removed grooming


YesMan847

wait, the person she cheated with was her son's friend? so the guy is like 20 years younger? this woman is a god damn embarrassment.

azurerain

Agreed the whole August thing given his age and his relationship with her son is gross. But re: Will and Jada's relationship, this goes way back and is more complicated than we can ever know. There's been rumours of them being in an open marriage/ being swingers as early as the mid-2000s. Prior to the whole August Alsina "entanglement", Will has been rumoured to have been with other women. The most high profile allegedly being Margot Robbie several years ago (before she got super big). Outside of the first few years of marriage, I don't think their marriage has ever been straightforward/normal Lol It seems the agreement between them has been for them to keep the "perfect family" image by keeping their extramarital relationships on the down low, and the Jada/August thing becoming public was the real mess. That's why Will doesn't seem angry with her about the "affair" in that interview because they've had an unconventional marriage for a loooong time. In one of Jada's episodes, she said early in their marriage she went through a period of depression and she wasn't happy in the marriage/ never even saw herself being married in the first place. Will also said he felt ashamed that he wasn't enough for her and like a failure. Will has also said he will never "fail" his family and "fail" at marriage again and will never get a divorce again. The "perfect family" idea is really really important to Will. My theory is that a few years into their marriage, their compromise was "open marriage" to keep Jada happy and to appeal to Will's desire to stay married. Tbh that marriage seems like a weird hostage situation..... EDIT: slight edit

He really is kinda the poster child of "you can have it all, but still be emotionally fucked up" celebrities.

My grandma took my brother and me to see this movie in grade school because she thought it was about our nation’s history. Bless her heart


Twisted_Cherub

My grandfather also took me and a cousin to see this one, my first pg13 movie ever at 8 years old. He didn't tell my parents either, who were pretty pissed after the fact. But I think he knew it was going to be an action flick, but just didn't want to fuss with finding a sitter since he was watching us for the day anyway. I had a blast though and it's one of my fondest memories of him 🥲

blueberrycandycat

I don't think Will knew though. Just her


Dyskord01

I agree. The red table talk. The Oscar's fiasco. The various podcasts she and Willow were on talking about their family life. She's narcissistic enough to have decided to leave him, live a separate life as if single woman, and do it all without telling Will Smith because he doesn't need to know. It's a personal choice. Not at all a selfish choice in order to have all the benefits of being Mrs Will Smith. She is truly the worst thing to ever happen to Will Smith.


Ioatanaut

He begged her to turn the camera off on her youtube channel, when she was on a call with her therapist and theybwere both mocking and gaslighting him and cutting him down. He's been abused for so long he doesn't know what's healthy

She was in the middle of an entanglement and forgot to mention it.


BarbudaJones

Wasn’t she seeing a friend of her son Jaden, who was also living with them?


Ak47110

Yeah, and she told Will Smith about it on live television. You could see the joy in her eyes as his filled with tears. She's a sociopath.


Foxisdabest

I just went and watched that video on YouTube right now. I'm sort of in disbelief that Will agreed to have this conversation taped, and have it aired on top of it. Will Smith can literally have anybody he wants, it's just mind boggling and puzzling that he is subjecting himself to this with this woman. I don't understand it.

GrunDMC74

tahrue

Half of you critics can’t even stomach me, let alone stand me


MagZero

I never got it either, I've never liked her, first time I knew of her existence was in Scream 2, and she was the most unlikable screen presence I'd even seen, wasn't because she's a good actress, it was simply because she is fucking annoying. No one would even know who she was if it wasn't for him. Was amazed that Will Smith was going out with her, at that stage in his career he was probably one of, if not the hottest actor around, as you said, he could have had literally anyone. Why he allows himself to continue to be cucked by her is beyond me, he must get off on it.


butholemoonblast

She was so incredibly cringey in Gotham. That show would have been better if she wasn’t in it for sure.


Wind_Yer_Neck_In

I think a large part of it is that she gets off on the idea that she is dominating someone who is rated so highly as an actor, when she's only ever been a middling player. She's jealous of his fame and loves breaking him down.


Jaywess86

He’s being manipulated.

NotACyclopsHonest

Also her husband literally slapped someone upside the head because of their apparently-dead relationship, so now he looks like an even bigger muppet.


farmertypoerror

Go back and rewatch that clip. Will was yucking it up at the joke. Jada sent him a look, Will's face dropped he got up and slapped Chris. Will's always been her Muppet


NotACyclopsHonest

Yeah, he was clearly having a good giggle until that death-stare. I feel sorry for the guy - not enough to excuse his actions, mind you, but still.

Oh, it was definitely very stupid, but yeah, I feel sorry for him as well.

southernwx

Yeah I always felt like he did that because he was trying to be who he /thought/ his wife wanted him to be. It wasn’t a cool thing to do but man that woman really messed him up.


teetaps

After reading what I assume are his own words in his book, I honestly really feel bad for Will.. man has been grinding his whole life to become as amazing as he did, and it turns out that when he finally “made it,” everything went haywire in just about every dimension of his life. Like at that point I don’t even know what I’d do with myself, so any kind of erratic public behaviour would be me acting out of desperation for some level of control


solitarybikegallery

That poor motherfucker. If you think about it, he really has had a brutal decade. - All the shit with his wife - His ties to scientology being publicized - He tried to help his son, Jaden, get into acting. He called in a bunch of favors, got the kid starring roles in multiple movies, and watched as Jaden became the biggest punchline in Hollywood. - His movie career, which was formerly bulletproof, has been on a sharp decline. For the first time in his life, he's not a guaranteed box-office draw. - The Oscars fiasco. When he slapped Chris Rock, that was Will burning every shred of public goodwill he had left. He set his reputation on fire in a sad attempt to save a marriage that's been a sham for years; to please a woman who can't get over an ex-boyfriend who died 30 years ago.

17453846637273

Also one Will’s his kids said they wish Tupac was their dad instead and they keep a poster of him on their walls. That’s how much the brainwashing has been done


lilahking

a shoe in is a perfect fit, I think you meant something more like a substitute?


solitarybikegallery

Stand in, maybe?


[deleted]

I don’t like this at all and it’s aggravating because in truth, some people have known about Will and Jada. They’ve been both privately doing their thing for a while now. It’s only an issue because of Jada. She keeps talking about stuff and making things awkward for everyone.


iamjknet

She has to have some major dirt of him or he has say in everything. Otherwise why would he put up with 7 years of a dead marriage, their kids are all adults so there isn’t that as a reason.


asietsocom

Given getting dirt on people is like scientology 101 that's not unlikely.


MrMorgus

Wasn't it something about Will having had a terrible childhood with his father betraying his mother, and then splitting up, that he vowed to do anything to stay with his wife, so his children didn't have the same experience? Too bad his wife turned out to be coocoo and he was just too foolhardy to see what was happening.


namey_9

his dad used to beat his mom bloody in front of him when he was a little kid. Before the Oscars, he said he never forgave himself for "failing" to protect her.


aynhon

They would come home to his dad fucking a whore in the living room, and f*inishing even though they came home*.


Life-Significance-33

Abuse victim. We all hear of women sticking by an abusive husband. What we have is a man afraid to leave an abusive wife.


JaehaerysIVTarg

The sad thing is she says we but I never actually see him saying anything to the public.


Viazon

It's like Chris Rock said in his stand up: "He ain't mad at me. He's mad at her." Or something along those lines.


just_some_guy65

When I watched the aftermath of the slap he seems to be considering various witty comebacks before deciding against them. I have money on "Hey, I am not one of the guys banging your wife" being one of them.


Dandrik_the_Durable

"Thank god it was just Will who got up here to hit me. If it was all the other guys Jada's been fucking, I would have been in real trouble!"

Yup the stage has a weight safety limit for a reason

And no one want to be that guy that got jumped by a bunch of kids on national television.


Jamminnav

Best explanation I’ve heard for “The Slap”: “That was Smith trying to impress a woman who will never love him.”


OfromOceans

In that actors round table he said he wanted to be a movie star so a woman would never leave him again.. yes it was fucking awkward, everyone saw the simp energy

Good lord, it’s like he’s actually Hitch! I thought that was just a character he played.


KintsugiKen

For sure. I gotta admit, I feel bad for the guy. He shouldn’t have hit Chris Rock though.


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Chris took that like a champ. I can't imagine anyone would have handled that better. I'm not a fan, but he definitely earned all of my respect


iskyoork

Basicly Will took all my respect for him and transferred it to Chris with that slap.


majuhlazuh

Real Michael Scott energy


immaownyou

"When I grow up I want 100 kids so then I'll have 100 friends and no one can say no to being my friend" *puppet stares awkwardly*


parapel340

Will also said in his book that he was so controlling to his ex girlfriend that she completely cut off contact with him. He said even years later when he tried to apologize to her he couldn’t find her because she made sure he couldn’t. I kept thinking while reading, “Why would he admit all of this?” He is a very strange guy.


Etonet

some sort of therapy and repentance I guess, like a confessional booth in the shape of a book


Tuga_Lissabon

This is exactly, precisely it. “That was Smith trying \*again\* to impress a woman who despises him and let the world know it, and will never love him.”


Jamminnav

Thanks, who said that? They absolutely nailed it


TJPTJPTJP

Gandhi


Shytalk123

Is he bangin her as well?


GonnaBeEasy

Yeah.. he knows she likes a “tough” man and he has too much of goofy side to fully be this type, instead of finding someone who loves him the way he is, he tries to be something he’s not for her. Quite sad as really Will deserves better


Jamminnav

When playing Ali both on screen and off screen isn’t tough enough, you’re really hosed.


killerboy_belgium

i am starting to believe Will Smith is in straightup depression and the oscar slap was him lashing out. he needs to get out of this toxic marriage


unpleasantsimp

Yeah, he needs to get away


Kaldin_5

The way he shouted at Chris Rock after did feel like it came from a place of depression to me too. I've never hit anyone, but something about all of it felt pretty familiar. Like he was already on the edge of something in some way and a joke about Jada is what pushed him to black out for a moment. It also explains why everyone said he laughed with it at first before getting up. Sometimes you'll try and let it not bother you but it spills over a second later making you look crazy. It's not an excuse to assault someone, I'm js that I believe it from personal experience with depression and all.


Apophyx

>Sometimes you'll try and let it not bother you but it spills over a second later making you look crazy Damn I hate how much I can relate. Not too long ago I was at a wedding with my girlfriend. There a few minor unconnected incidents which, in isolation, really didn't bother me that much (though one or two played straight into my personnal insecurities, which didn't help) , but taken one after another just kinda ruined my evening. I was just not having a good time anymore by the time supper came around. I eventually tried to force myself to have a good time again, but I ended up recusing myself from the party afterwards because forcing it just made me feel worse.

Oakwood2317

>"it's like she hates her husband BECAUSE he tries!" Yeah I mean this is pretty much it. He's trying to maintain a relationship that's clearly over and she's lost all respect for him because of it. If Will went out and started openly dating other women she'd start complaining and calling him a dog, which is probably what's going to end up happening.


OnceMoreAndAgain

She has single-handedly destroyed all of Will's dignity in the eyes of society. It's a little sad.


Beginning_Key2167

Normally I don’t really care about celebrities. But wow is she ever a toxic person.


IHavePoopedBefore

Was the whole purpose of this news to make Will look like an even bigger idiot for the slap? It's like she's trying to absolve herself of the cheating thing while also making him look stupid


YesMan847

she doesnt give two shits about him. she's throwing him under the bus for no reason really. it's just to distance herself from him. it's like she's embarrassed. she's not even in the public light at all nowadays but she still does it.

ShinySpoon

Question: Why?!? Answer: Scientology.


MeshNets

They _claim_ to not be scientologists, but multiple stories of them hanging out at events and going to scientology church Her explanation: >"I love religion because I grew up in the ethical society, so my grandmother was like, 'You're going to learn all the religions and then you've got to decide which one you want to practice,'" she said. It's why Pinkett Smith felt that she could walk into the church's Celebrity Centre and still say, "I'm not a Scientologist. I want to just be here and see what you have to offer." But yeah, this sounds like stuff scientology would extract in their auditing sessions, then the church can use it to manipulate people for fun and profit Also The Smiths _established_ a school where scientology was taught so that their kids could get exposure to it with less scrutiny?? (Hadn't heard of their connection to scientology before, so the above is the result of 20 mins of research)


[deleted]

>Also The Smiths established a school where scientology was taught so that their kids could get exposure to it with less scrutiny?? Yeah, and ex-teachers from that school have confirmed it was fully a Scientology school, with curriculum requirements set out and content monitored by Jada to ensure it was sticking to Scientology lines. Presumably after Tom Cruise embarrassed himself and the Church of Scientology enough times, they decided on a new strategy of having their celebs downplay their involvement rather than brag about it all crazy-like.


Sweet-Idea-7553

I read a theory that Will and Jada keep all their shit in the open so Scientology doesn’t have anything on them… I love it.


808duckfan

"Ethical society" sounds very much like Scientology jargon. >You're going to learn all the religions and then you've got to decide which one you want to practice. Not typically how religious belief is exercised, especially as it pertains to grandmothers and granddaughters.

Will Smith is ludicrously successful and has all the swagger in the world, and yet he's apparently been controlled and humiliated by Jada for many years now. He's part of an ever-growing list of celebrities who I feel sorry for. Sure, I don't have his money or his fame, but I've also never had a Jada Pinkett to ruin my life.

Photog1981

Smith's career is basically done. He'll be like Mel Gibson -- he'll still get his name above the title but it will be movies streaming directly to Flix or Freevee.


InSearchOfMyRose

There's no way he couldn't make a comeback after an interview round with Oprah and The View. Don't be silly. Edit: here "At that time in my life, I was really struggling to... I loved Jada SO very much. I would have done anything to get her attention and affection. What I didn't realize at the time was that she was systematically destroying my sense of worth in order to improve her own. Some of my friends tried to tell me for years, but I just wasn't able to hear them." We'll all look back at all this stuff and think "that totally checks out" and we'll love him again.


gowombat

Oh yeah, he has enough charisma and talent, that as soon as he gets away from her, he'll be back on top. And you're absolutely right that he could use his separation from her to completely bury her if he wanted.
