Will Smith Breaks Silence Amid Jada Pinkett Smith’s Book Tour

by

Jada Pinkett Smith’s new memoir book, Worthy, contains a lot of new and shocking information, but also a lot of tender reflections and reckonings with her life’s trajectory. A lot of it has been scandalous, in particular her dysfunctional relationship with Will Smith, but hopefully much of it has resulted in healing and peace for her and her family. Moreover, thanks to a New York Times interview with the actress, we now finally know what her partner’s response to all of this is like. He responded in email form to the Times, and had some brief but interesting reflections to make. In addition, the article mentions an ayahuasca retreat with the family in which Will has some deep words for Jada.

“You’ll have to cut off your spirit’s wrist to break free of our Divine handcuffs,” Will Smith told his wife on the comedown. As for the actual response, the publication reports that the actor feels like the memoir “kind of woke him up.” Furthermore, they paraphrased him by stating: “She had lived a life more on the edge than he’d realized. She is more resilient, clever and compassionate than he’d understood.”

However, that’s not all; The New York Times also included a direct quote from Will Smith’s email. This one relates more to how their relationship grew, developed, became masked, and revealed itself anew over the years. “When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in. You can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” the Emancipation entertainer wrote. Ultimately, what this suggests is that he’s very supportive of her telling her story and sharing her journey with the world.

Meanwhile, amid a lot of people blasting the Baltimore native online, it seems like her estranged husband’s support is all she needs. She’s been very unapologetic about these remarks, and appears committed to baring it all to find an answer to her many struggles. This definitely won’t slow the debate around their dynamic down, but it certainly closes a chapter on doubts about their bond.

During a recent interview, Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about her relationship with her husband, Will Smith. She revealed that the two of them have actually been separated for quite some time, and kept their split a secret from the public. According to her, they’ve led “completely separate lives” since 2016.

She went on to describe how the two of them continue to have a “deep love” for one another, despite no longer being “romantically together.” While their end goal was to eventually divorce, she claims it never “felt right” for them. “We don’t know why. But here we are,” she says. Though they’re taking some time to figure out what’s next for their relationship, Jada believes they’ll reunite at some point in the future. She spoke about her beliefs during a chat with The Times recently, claiming that she thinks her estranged husband will need someone to care for him. “I think eventually we will [live together again.] I really do,” she explained. “Will’s getting old. I’m staying quite young, but it’s getting apparent to me that he’s gonna need someone to take care of him.“

Jada’s revelation that she and Will are no longer an item came as a shock to fans, particularly considering his outburst at the 2022 Oscars. Famously, comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Jada’s appearance, which led her husband to slap him in the face. She opened up about the aftermath of the incident with The New York Times recently, revealing that the entire situation was confusing and painful for her. Rock joked about the slap in his comedy special Selective Outrage, which Jada says “hurt.”

“I remember my heart piercing, my heart cracking, and I remember my feelings being so hurt,” she explained. “And then I remember being able to smile and wish him well at the same time.” What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith’s response to Chris Rock joking about Will Smith slapping him at the 2022 Oscars?

It seems like Jada Pinkett Smith’s dirty laundry is the talk of the town these days, which of course she’s made hard to ignore. After all, it seems like she’s really letting it all out there, and hopefully that process is helping her and her family in some way. That’s important to keep in mind because, if you went off of public responses to these confessions, it would be a much nastier picture. Moreover, a lot of regular people and celebrities alike are chiming on on the actress’ multiple confessions, claims, and the like. One of these concerns her relationship with Tupac Shakur, which remains a controversial one.

Furthermore, Suge Knight’s son recently took to Instagram with some dark humor addressing this. “Tupac really dodged a bullet… I mean he didn’t but you know what I mean,” he wrote on IG about Jada Pinkett Smith. “She could’ve been doing everything against his Will.” For those unaware, while she and the rapper were never romantic partners, her praise and focus on him in recent years landed her in hot water with fans online, especially considering Will Smith’s place in all this as a distant husband who’s always defended her.

That’s an angle that 50 Cent took when he also launched a meme against the Set It Off star on Sunday (October 15). Via Instagram, the G-Unit mogul joked about the Baltimore native, first through a repost of a news article and then in his caption of it. “Jada Pinkett Smith reveals she sold a lot of crack as a teenager,” the headline he posted read. “Alright enough is an enough,” the New York MC captioned this screenshot with a picture of her. “FREE WILL SMITH! WTF is going to on.”

Will Smith Confronted Tommy Davidson Over Jada Kiss

Another story concerning Jada and Will in the 90s was recently revealed by actor Tommy Davidson. Davidson recalled a “run-in” with Will Smith in the late 90s after he kissed Jada Pinkett Smith. The incident happened after Davidson kissed Pinkett Smith without prior warning during the filming of Woo. “Me and Will had a run-in. He came into the trailer and I was sitting down. He’s standing over me and he’s like, ‘I don’t appreciate that, man. I don’t appreciate that.’ And I’m like, ‘What you talking about?’ I always know to play it off. And I’m like, ‘What’s going on man? Tell me what’s happening.’ And since he was standing and I was sitting, I was a real nice fella. That’s about physics.”

He continued. “I’m like, ‘Man what’s going on?’ ‘I don’t appreciate that.’ And Jada’s going, ‘Will. Will!’ And I’m saying, ‘What’s happening man?’ And he’s like, ‘You tell me what’s happening. Hmm? Hmm?’ And [he’s biting his lip like] he might do something. I did the snake and got up and then I was like, ‘So what are you talking about, man?’ And I was still in that posture. I didn’t [know what he was talking about] but I knew what he was doing. And I was like, ‘Just tell me what’s up.’ And he’s like, ‘You know what’s up.’ So finally I just said, ‘This is a small place and people are here. We should talk about it, me and you outside because it looks like you need to get something off your chest.’ And Jada was like, ‘Oh nah nah, y’all.’ I was like, ‘What you mean nah y’all? Tell him!’ And that was the end of that.”

Jada Pinkett Smith is an incredibly sought-after name in the media these days, with bombshell interview after bombshell interview. Of course, this all seems like a calculated press run given the release of her new book, but it all feels scandalous nonetheless. Moreover, a lot of this revolves around the actress’ relationship with Will Smith, which is a lot different than what people assumed over the past few years. Still, other media figures like Funny Marco have other questions, like what happened with the money in her 1996 film Set It Off. Unfortunately, it looks like these alternative approaches won’t get you in her good graces.

Furthermore, Funny Marco recently leaked some DMs between him and Jada Pinkett Smith. Apparently, he wants to coordinate an interview with her, which she isn’t opposed to at all and might actually result in a lighter conversation. However, the comedian and YouTube started off by asking about her movie, which if you didn’t know, ends with her with her share of a robbery payout. Apparently, this isn’t the best way to get the Baltimore native on board with a conversation.

Jada Pinkett Smith & Funny Marco’s DMs

“We need to talk,” Funny Marco began his direct message to Jada Pinkett Smith via Instagram. “And what did you do with that money from set it off ?” Then, Tupac’s “soulmate” responded in a pretty amicable way… at least, at first. “Listen, I don’t mind talking to you,” she replied on the social media platform. “…But I won’t be answering questions about a damn movie Marco.” Afterwards, he ended up posting a screenshot of this interaction on IG, leaving behind a conciliatory and taken-aback message. “I just want to talk @jadapinkettsmith sorry about the movie.”

Meanwhile, do you think that this interview, despite this rough start, might end up happening soon? Do you think there’s more that the 52-year-old wants to reveal and come clean about in her personal life or would this be a more casual conversation? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Jada Pinkett Smith and Funny Marco.

Jada Pinkett Smith Reveals Tupac’s Secret Battle with Alopecia

by
jada pinkett smith tupac alopecia

In an exclusive PEOPLE cover story, Jada Pinkett Smith sheds light on a hidden facet of the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, revealing that he silently battled alopecia, an autoimmune disease causing unpredictable hair loss. The Emmy Award-winning actress speculates that had Shakur been alive today, he might have chosen to speak openly about his condition.

Shakur’s journey with alopecia mirrors Smith’s experience, with the onset of symptoms dating back to 1991, around the time of his arrest for jaywalking by the Oakland Police Department in California. Subsequently, Shakur pursued legal action against the police department, ultimately settling the matter.

Smith reflects, “After he was in Northern California with the police officers that beat him up, he started losing his hair. And his alopecia patterns were far more extreme than mine.” It’s a revelation that invites a new perspective on Shakur’s life and challenges.

Jada Pinkett Smith, an actress and talk show host, disclosed her alopecia diagnosis in 2018, becoming a notable advocate for alopecia awareness. She believes that Shakur’s silence about his alopecia was due to societal pressures of his time. “I don’t think Pac ever talked about his alopecia, but he also looked really good with a bald head. But that was during a time and during an era that you wouldn’t – he just wouldn’t talk about it.”

Jada Pinkett Smith Claims 2Pac Also Suffered From Alopecia

by

During a recent interview with PEOPLE, Jada Pinkett Smith reflected on her relationship with the late Tupac Shakur. According to the actress and talk show host, the two of them had plenty of things in common, including alopecia. She revealed that his condition was even more severe than her own, and began after a violent encounter with police.

The performer was arrested for jaywalking near the Oakland Police Department in California when things went south. The encounter led him to sue the department, and the case was later settled. “I don’t think Tupac ever talked about the alopecia he suffered from,” she described. “After he was in Northern California with the police officers that beat him up, he started losing his hair. And his alopecia patterns were far more extreme than mine.”

“I don’t think Pac ever talked about his alopecia, but he also looked really good with a bald head,” Smith adds. “But that was during a time and during an era that you wouldn’t — he just wouldn’t talk about it.” Smith has been an advocate for those suffering from alopecia since she went public with her condition in 2018. She believes that 2Pac would do the same if he had gotten the chance.

“I’m sure if [Shakur] were alive today, he would,” she shared. “I’m glad that I’ve had the opportunity and we’ll continue to have the opportunity to talk about how alopecia affects me,” Smith explains. “And I’m just hoping that it’ll give people the freedom to talk about how and just not have shame around it and not to have such a stigma. And there’s a lot of shame around alopecia.” What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith revealing that 2Pac had alopecia too?

Stephen A. Smith Blasts Jada Pinkett Smith For Her Recent Relationship Revelations

by

Stephen A. Smith has called out Jada Pinkett Smith as she continues to drop relationship bombshells amid her publicity tour. “What’s the dude’s name? August? I don’t know who he is. I know he’s the friend of your son, who’s 21 years younger than you. What you do is your business. Any woman who wants to be a cougar with a dude of legal age that is your business. But, the operative words are ‘your business’,” Smith began, referring to Pinkett-Smith’s confession of an affair with singer August Alsina. “”Did you have to go and tell everybody? Go ahead and do it. Why does everybody have to know? Why? Why did everybody have to know? You didn’t tell everybody what you did while you were doing it?” Smith continued.

Furthermore, the ESPN host continued to ramp up his attack. “There wasn’t no porn movie. Wasn’t no X-rated movie. Why? Because it was none of our business. So, why talk about it? Keep it to yourself. And you keep it to yourself, not just because it’s yourself, but because there’s a man who loves you. Who married you. He deserve that? Seriously, he deserve that? Somebody gotta say that to Jada, plain and simple,” he said.

Chris Rock Responds To Pinkett Smith Name-Dropping Him During Book Tour

It seems that Stephen A. isn’t the only one annoyed with Pinkett Smith at the moment. Besides a growing internet meme about Pinkett Smith seemingly being oblivious to major world events, Chris Rock has addressed being part of her tour. Pinkett Smith told PEOPLE that Rock had asked her on a date while rumors were circulating that she and Will Smith were getting divorced.

“Chris has said his piece on the entire Will Smith slap, but now with these new revelations from Jada that she and Will have been living separate lives it is just another WTF moment in the whole saga from these past few years between Chris, her, and Will. He is a relatively private person and was just getting to a point where people may have started to move on, but now it is back in the limelight, and it’s just frustrating that everything is coming back to the forefront,” an insider told the Daily Mail after Rock was mentioned multiple times by Pinkett-Smith.

Jada Pinkett Smith Expresses Shock At Will Smith Calling Her His “Wife” At Oscars

by

Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent press interviews have pop culture media in a chokehold right now. A lot of that revolves around her relationship status with Will Smith, the infamous Oscars slap to Chris Rock, and her bond with Tupac Shakur. However, a recent confession from the actress has fans very intrigued, especially with the added context of the Smith family’s dynamic. Apparently, she was very surprised that the Fresh Prince called her his “wife” during his rant against Rock at the ceremony. While speaking to NBC‘s Hoda Kotb, the Baltimore native revealed why it was such a shocking moment to her.

“I did that eye-roll [in response to Chris Rock’s joke about her alopecia at the Oscars] not so much for me,” Jada Pinkett Smith remarked. “And I think this is really important. But [rather] the fact that there could be a jab at alopecia.” Then, she went into detail about her reaction to Will Smith’s defense of her. “What is going on? Now, first of all, I’m really shocked. ‘Cause, mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband or wife in a long time.

“I’m like, ‘What is going on right now?’” Jada Pinkett Smith continued. “‘Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth,’ right? And now I’m really worried for Will, because I don’t know what’s going on.” Another recent piece of info to emerge from this press onslaught is that the talk show host thought that the whole thing was a skit. Of course, it didn’t take long for her and the rest of the world to find out that it wasn’t. Still, this gave an oddly reconciliatory context to an event that many thought was out of line.

As such, now the fact that Will and Jada were living separately gives a whole new angle to view “The Slap” from. It’s unclear, though, how the actor feels about all this dirty laundry emerging when it comes to his relationships. We’ll have to wait and see if there are multiple sides to this story.
