The internet is in shambles after the Red Table Talk with Jada P. and Will Smith. After August Alsina’s interview with Angela Ye, of the Breakfast Club, the celebrity couple decided there was a need to clear the air.
August Alsina stated in his interview that he and Jada had a relationship in the past and Will gave his blessing to them. After claiming so, the internet had lots to say about the statement.
Rumors began to spread and the he say-she say got so bad they couldn’t let it go on without the truth.
On the Red Table Talk, Jada confessed that 4 1/2 years ago, she and Will were in a bad place. They were separated and she was hurt. At that time she and August had a close friendship that turned into “an entanglement” over time. She stated that their connection essentially started out with a desire to help August with his addictions and mental health issues but eventually became more.
Will and Jada made it clear that this incident was almost 5 years ago and since they have moved forward. Will was aware of the situation but Jada states that Will did not and could not give her permission; for she is the only person who controls her body.
Since the separation, the couple have mended their marriage. They have been married for 25 years and have made the decision to never part. Will reminds Jada about telling her in the beginning that he could love her through anything. And Jada replies with laughter because she didn’t think he could do it at first. Shortly after she confirms that he’s doing a great job at it.
They both admitted to stepping outside of their marriage in the past and how they let it stay in the past because they don’t want to go through these issues ever again. The ended the show by stating that they feel they are a bad couple but that they’ll be a “bad couple for life” because they can’t get rid of each other.
I personally believe it’s beautiful to see the raw and uncut mistakes made in marriage. So many people give a persona of a make believe marriage. People make it look easy but we all know that’s not the case. Marriages take work and lots of it. True love take maturity. And what’s most important is that the couple’s business is their business and nobody else’s.
Shoutout to Will and Jada!
