    The Red Table Talk show has to be one of the worst decisions that Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith made over the last decade.

     

    Amid the Oscars 2022 slap controversy, an old video of the couple from the show has resurfaced.

     

    The main idea of the show was to get therapy as a family in a healthy way and fix their problems.

     

    In the old clip going viral now, Jada is seen sitting with Will, her mother Gammy and her daughter Willow Smith.

    She reveals she never wanted to get married in the first place.

     

    In fact, the Matrix actress admitted to “crying down the freaking aisle” before tying the knot with Will Smith on New Year’s Eve in 1997.

     

    “I was under so much pressure, you know, being a young actress, being young, and I was just, like, pregnant and I just didn’t know what to do,” said Pinkett Smith in the viral snippet from her Red Table Talk Facebook series. “I never wanted to be married,” she said.

     

    The clip from 2018 has resurfaced now after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making fun of his wife, Jada’s baldness. In the old video, Jada Pinkett Smith also talked about how her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, forced her and Will Smith to marry after she became pregnant with their first son together, Jaden, now 23.

     

    “I really didn’t wanna get married,” Pinkett Smith said at the round table. “We only got married because Gammy was crying,” a chuckling Smith informed Willow.

     

    “It was almost as if Gammy was like, ‘You have to get married, so let’s talk about the wedding,’” said Pinkett Smith, prompting Banfield-Norris to confess, “I remember feeling very strongly and wanting you guys to be married.”

     

    “The wedding was horrible,” Banfield-Norris conceded. “It was a mess. Jada was sick, she was very unpleasant She didn’t cooperate with anything.” Laughing, Pinkett Smith agreed, saying, “And I was so upset that I had to have a wedding. I was so pissed I went crying down the freaking aisle. I cried the whole way down the aisle.”

     

    In 2018, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed her alopecia diagnosis.

  • I was once a drug dealer- Jada Pinkett reveals

    American singer and actress, Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed that she met late best friend Tupac Shakur when she was a drug dealer.

    In an interview, Pinkett said she was “coming out of that life” and Tupac was “getting more into the life.”

     

    In her words:”It’s kinda hard because I haven’t really told the whole story. One of the things that are very interesting that I’ve never really said before is that when I first met Pac, when we first met, I was a drug dealer. Yes.

     

    “There was a point in which we met and then we kind of were going our separate ways. And I just felt like, ‘OK God, one day you’re going to do for Pac what you did for me, which is you saved me. And that just never happened for him.

     

    ” And so that is something that I am constantly having to confront,” she said. “I know that most people wanna always connect us in this romance thing, but that’s just because they don’t have the story.
