    She gives me creepy control freak vibes, the kind of scary toxic partner no one would wish for
  • @ampedhallway
    Narcissist and gaslighter to the core. EVERYTHING is about her, and she has not truly taken accountability for the role she plays in these different scenarios. She keeps using these therapy terms to mask the atrocities she inflicted upon people. Where’s the apology to August, from BOTH Will and Jada? They LIED on that young man, and took advantage of his mental state. Jada USED and EXPLOITED a vulnerable and unstable person that was suffering from various mental, emotional, and physical health issues. There is something seriously wrong with The Smiths. They get mad when people talk about their issues, when they were the ones who brought it out on a sliver platter for the world to consume. Such a toxic, disgusting pair.

    Too bad she didn't realize her "worthyness" and independence before she ruined the lives of her husband and her children. Such a vile person to NOW think of herself and feel free to do what she wants with other partners simply because she needed attention.

    Any person with alopecia could never have a perfect head of hair neither less a perfect hairline ever. But we all recognize that Jada who claims to suffer from alopecia simply has a perfect head of hair and a perfect hairline still which that simply isn’t possible at all. So for her to lie about something so minor, means that everything she says is totally false and a lie to a 1000 degree. Which she been gave up, especially on her only daughter when she didn’t know that her daughter was suffering from depression or constantly hurt herself without her having any acknowledgment. That says a lot about her as a mother as a whole.. PERIOD
  • She gives me angry vibes. No other emotion just hostility and anger. Sth is off
  • This lady is all over the place, she did another interview that I just watched where she says Will had changed his mind at the last second and didn't want to do the Red Table Talk about the "entanglement" so she took the heat of being the bad wife to save him. Now she's saying he wanted to be there. I take everything she says with a half a grain of salt.
  • @mamacas_3.075
    How many times is she going to say, “Right?”?!!🤦🏼‍♀️
  • @mariecochran527
    No one is mentioning Will’s autobiography and how close her book is to his. I’m wondering about her motivation. Wondering if “Worthy” is a way for her to feel more relevant.
  • @pocketzp5025
    🤔💭She can try to paint her narrative as a loving partner but we have seen the real her. Idc fr anyway, long as Will still love jasabell i mean jada, thats all that matter, smh😔
  • @user-kr6km9id2h
    Jada's hair is looking rather nice....looks like the alopecia is clearing up.
  • @lilbigvince1976
    I have never been in support of canceling anyone. But, I am in full support for canceling her
  • @pheb29
    I don't believe her 😅
  • @zzappligator
    I come here for short 2 min videos. Not a half-hour marathon. Bubye.
  • We're together but have gone our own way, we are committed but don't live together. We didn't want to speak of our personal issues but have spent years giving long descriptive interviews, we have come back together but will not say we are couple or in a relationship. Were always commited but not together for many years. We have worked hard to make our marriage work but are living our own seperate lives. We will always stand together but not say we are in a relationship or married, but will stay legally married even though we are not together... 🤔

    My love language for me is to realized that everyone can walk on the road. Advise for myself,a person who comes from abuse
  • @crazynanaailese
    Amber Heard and Jada are cut from the same evil cloth😢😢😢
  • Jada...this interview made me reevaluate something i am going through...I really respect your journey!
  • @theresalucas9477
    This is one of my favorite interviews done with Jada so far. Her identifying her co-dependance and listening to her talk about how she connects with her source everyday to stay up lifted helped me ❤.
