    What Will and Jada were doing was truly none of our business. Solely because we were not in the middle of the separation. We don’t know the initiation of why it went into a separation. Jada, like us all, was not aware of how to deal with her own demons and had to live in front of the world with it. GRACE AND MERCY that God gives us. We all are drowning in GRACE

    She’s cosplaying like a therapist in the way she speaks Trying to sound so full of wisdom like she’s a guru. She’s so empty that to relate to people, she has to mirror them.
  • I don’t like how she talks FOR Tupac. He is not here to state his feelings. I think she was in love with him but he friend zoned her. So now she tries to convince everyone that they had such a deep connection that no one else could possibly understand it. She makes herself the hero in every situation and in everyone’s life that is connected to hers. For some one who is always talking about keeping it real, she really has a hard time actually keeping it real. I wish she would just shed the bullsh@t because I think she would be a lot more interesting if she would just be honest.
  • Thanks Toure. That was the best interview with Jada during her promotion of her book. I read it also.
  • I Love Jada and I LOVED the book too Toure!!! Phenomenal interview, as always 💚💚💚
  • @b-eazy715
    Jada is literally responding to each backlash every interview it’s a new spin I mean lie 😂😂😂
  • @soso-cm7kt
    Her ego is as tall as an empire state building....and I feel like it's growing more and more every year...every sentence she says is supposed to add her advantage... haughtiness is grow and grow..
  • @grapelund
    “You’ve taken a lot of bullets for usl”… Yeah, Bullets you wouldn’t have to have taken if you wouldn’t have called yourself trying to be some healer and bring your mess to the red table talk!! Yall could have easily just ignored August and let the situation die down on its own, but you didn’t, now we here, with even more stuff we didn’t even have to know, that we only hear “YOU” talking about!!
  • @LouiseMZeitlin
    She found the interviwer that is licking her boots, he really is putting it on.
  • @teresamooney9595
    Watched this interview yesterday. Best interview with JPS, and I have watched most of them. There was great flow and focus on the important... if we just take the time to see. Learned so much. Grateful.

    I really appreciate that Touré has this platform to really dig deeper as he converses with a diverse range of people because I can see that he really works to meet his guests where they are. He’s not going to condescend and he isn’t going to be too fanboyish. But he does manage to have a good time with his guests. In this interview I appreciated that Touré offered Jada some grace and a space to breathe. She looked tired. Maybe it was just a grueling day for her, or maybe it’s been a grueling few weeks as she’s skipped from frying pan to frying pan. But her experience and her knowledge are worth reading, hearing and seeing. Being counter-cultural is often romanticized, but it takes its toll. You have to be one tough ass cookie to withstand the criticisms of others. Jada Pinkett Smith gets my respect for a lot of things, but definitely her varied views of the world. She touches on a lot and some folks just aren’t going to relate. Sometimes her mere presence is triggering. Like she said, those instances aren’t about her, but about the person who is (hopefully) working through their own sh.t. My criticisms aren’t about her book. They are more about her mishandling (?) of the media storm and messaging (?). But I’ll always look forward to her next artistic endeavors. It would be a mistake to dismiss or disdain her. It would be a mistake to consider her unworthy of basic courtesy and consideration.
  • @marckristian81
    As a former crack, weed, ex opportunity seller it's pretty clear that she's lying about that aspect. Rule 1 of former dealers, were not unsure about what we sold.
  • @812BrownSugar
    Thank you for this interview and incorporating her acting strategy to the mix. Thank you Jada for sharing your journey and your story. I finished Worthy and it was a great read!
  • @TGreen0381
    ....It's interesting to say she's taking a lot of bullets for them. She's the one holding gun lettin' the chopper sing....
  • @mollyvital
    Jada does not know if there's such a thing as love of your life ....will ? What about will ??? You been with him for most of your life .
