The Smith family has been in the media spotlight for years now, and Jada Pinkett’s decades-long marriage with Will Smith has acted as a lightning rod for controversies. But it hasn’t affected the two’s bond with their children, and Pinkett hasn’t shied away from engaging in frank discussions with her 20-year-daughter when she opened up about her sexuality in an episode of Red Table Talk.
The Red Table Talk show has witnessed its fair share of drama surrounding the Smith family. And back in 2021, the Set It Off star was left surprised after Willow Smith made a bold claim about what she expects her mother to do if her marriage with the Men in Black Star ever fails.
Jada Pinkett Smith on whether she sees herself pursuing a romantic bond with another woman
After Willow Smith claimed that she could see her mother pursuing a romantic bond with another woman if her marriage fails with Will Smith, the Set it Off star was left a bit flabbergasted. Responding to her daughter, who previously came out as bisexual in 2019, Jada Pinkett clarified that she couldn’t see her connecting to a woman romantically even though she loves being around them. However, she didn’t brush off the possibility entirely, as she admitted to being infatuated with two other women in her younger days, but things never went beyond that stage. She explained,
“It wasn’t for me either, I love being amongst women, but I never could connect to women romantically. But it’s not to say that it couldn’t be. You just never know. I’ve had my fair share of swooning and feeling, ‘She’s so beautiful. She’s so talented.’ I’ve had two times [where] I’ve been infatuated with a woman. I’ve swooned two times, early, early on.”
Even though her marriage with Will Smith has come under heavy drama following their tumultuous recent years in the media spotlight, it doesn’t seem the two would part ways anytime soon.
Jada Pinkett found herself in another drama after recent revelations
Apart from her marriage with Will Smith, Jada Pinkett recently found herself in another drama involving her children after Jaden Smith opened up about the use of psychedelics. The 24-year-old rapper explained that his mother was the first in the family to use it, and gradually everyone in the family started experimenting in their own manner. He explained,
“I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family. It was just her for a really, really long time and then eventually it just trickled and evolved, and everybody found it in their own ways.”
Although the 24-year-old rapper clarified that Jada Pinkett never forced anyone to use psychedelics, this hasn’t stopped from the news making headlines. Pinkett, who has previously opened up about using this drug to deal with depression is currently working on her memoir, which will touch on many more aspects of her life.
