[@hueyandmo]

As bad as I feel for Will, I think more attention should be given to August. They keep saying he was a family friend, but let's be clear. He was a friend of Jada's kid, not her. So imagine coming to the parents of your friend in distress, dealing with mental health problems and a death in your family, and instead of helping you, the much older parental figure seduces you. This is soooo sketchy and not ok. It's one thing to cheat and gaslight your husband about it (bad), but it's a whole nother level to do it with a young and vulnerable friend of your kid.

[@roddydykes7053]

Yeah imagine being like 60 and fucking your teenage kid’s friend. Absolutely frustrating this is somehow being normalized

[@amberbrooks7904]

August knew what he was doing when he started sleeping with Jada he is nothing more than a bitter side piece

She was in power over the entire situation. It was a power trip for her, irregardless of Will's or August's feelings. It was all about her.

[@robynsmith4164]

I couldn’t have said it better myself! What she did was NOT OK, on ANY level… She is a true narcissist who does NOT care about anyone but herself… not even her kids! She has been gaslighting Will for a LONG TIME! She has put him through HELL the past few years and you can see it in his appearance, he has aged A LOT! Shame on Jada… I doubt she even realizes how awful she has made herself look 🙄 I really hope Will comes to his senses SOON and gets as far away from her as possible! I can tell he’s the kind of guy who probably stayed with her for so long “for the kids”. Now that they’re grown I hope he truly comes to his senses and runs for the hills!

That whole red table talk was basically 'The Narcissist's Prayer' from Jada to Will: That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it. That is what Will hasn't figured out yet, but is still feeling the sting of.

You can tell Jada's empathy doesn't include her husband, Will. She claims she wanted to help August with his issues, trying to appear as if she cares about others and as if she's a selfless person while Will's feelings were dismissed and invalidated.

[@mommom3172]

Agree. It's not true caring for August either. Seems like she wanted the ego boost & control from rescuing August. She just "wanted to feel good". 🙄

Will looks like he's trying not to cry throughout this.

[@halfpiint]

@@mommom3172 You're absolutely right. It's not August that made her feel good, but the "ego boost & control" that made her feel good. The same can be said with her children and Will. It has nothing to do with the other people and EVERYTHING to do with her "ego & sense of control".

[@TheBehavioralArts]

Ooooo great point! She wanted to help August. Why not help Will! I love this

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

She never cared for August either...she knew what she wanted the moment her son introduced him to the family. It's all about what she wants... consequences be damned.

[@shiveringmousepodcast7153]

It makes me sad that the whole conversation ends with him saying “How am I doing?” Like he feels he’s the one who needs to prove his worth to her even though she is the betrayer.

[@ladybluelotus]

She's probably convinced him that he's the problem. It's beyond manipulative. I honestly couldn't imagine treating my spouse this way.

[@lacreatives147]

Yes I cringed and didn’t understand why Will would even ask this question, the whole reason this whole situation was happening is because of Jada. The entire red table forum should have never existed, all of their private business has been exposed in public by Jada herself. Who does this?

[@ghutchin33]

He says “ How am I doing ?” to give her an entry point to praise him and say something affirming to HIM. He needed her affirmation and it was his only opportunity because throughout the interview it was all about HER , her needs and his love for her. He even begins the interview ( not shown) by saying he told her in the beginning of their relationship “ I could love you through anything ?” The “ How am I doing ?” refers to his commitment, devotion, self sacrificing spirit , and love for HER as promised in his vow. Sad to watch. Looks a bit like Narc Abuse .

[@katrinabarton1339]

@Jay Sharp I bet if he hooked up with some pretty 20 year old she wouldn't be able to handle it. I think in this case it might actually be very telling concerning showing how she would react.

[@cherylbrown4483]

I think she's very comfortable because she's a narcissist and doesn't think she did anything wrong. I think she's also very comfortable because of the fact that Will is not and she's lording it over him, humiliating him- she has all the power. When you're repentant and sorry for what you've done, harm you've caused someone you profess to love, you're crying, you're begging. Even if you've gotten past the initial emotions, you'd still be eyes downcast, humble and there's none of that.

[@lawanda2497]

When she said she didn’t feel he had the capacity to love her, and him asking how he was doing, told me everything I needed to know about why he slapped Chris. Will sitting there laughing at Chris’ joke, somehow equated to Jada that he didn’t love her, so he had to do something grandiose to prove otherwise. 😳

[@taragosney5729]

She will say anything to him to manipulate him and his feelings. She will use any and all comments situations relationships to make will feel like he has hurt her and owes her so much back and constant reminding of any time (doubt there's very many) that he did or said something that hurt her

[@taragosney5729]

And i mean that was actually justified in both their eyes as being a mean or messed up thing to say or do. Have no idea how often she clings to every slight and microagression and just drills them into his concious so even as he is dreaming he'll be thinking he did some huge horrible actions that he must pay for with his soul and anything and everything she wants whenever she wants it

[@laurahennessy2893]

This is a dead marriage they are just staying in it as dysfunctional relationship it was from Day 1

[@amyb1344]

Jada played it off like “We Were On A Break!!” - but she was in a position of power and trust while August was at vulnerable point in his life, and she took advantage. I can’t help but think Will would’ve been reviled for creeping on his daughter’s friend in a vulnerable position like this. I think Will and Jadad are in a toxic downward spiral with escalating destructive behaviors

[@morgenmachen2400]

Excellent point.

[@dmag7393]

The fact that August was not mentally stable is probably the only reason Will did not beat his ass. No one has taken this into consideration. They both emphasised that he was really really Ill. Will was going to dump her ass but I guess she talked him around by minimising the whole entanglement. Entanglement literally means a difficult or complicated romantic situation. That's a roundabout definition. It's ridiculed because everyone just calls it an affair. She was trying to give that affair depth by using an obscure word. Let's face it. Will was always away. Jada was also alone, she got left with this young boy, I'm sure she meant well in the beginning. Sometimes when a woman hasn't had the affections of her man they look elsewhere. August probably complimentary towards her and she probably hadn't heard that for a while. She did stress that she had been feeling alone for a long long time. Will worked all year round bar 2 weeks he had off I read somewhere. So even though we think they told us quite a lot, I don't think they told us as much as they could have. In order for that to have happened, a more mature conversation should gave been had, instead of joking about it in parts. I mean it sounds like I'm team Jada but honestly, I have never really rated her as an actress. So she wasn't really on my radar. The mistake they made was to address the issue. They should have left it to black twitter and just not acknowledged it. Like many many many celebrities do. I do think Jada latched onto him for what she could get from him. Even if only to raise her profile. Which while Tupac was alive, she used him for that too. Social climber more than anything else. Both Tupac and Will were already successful. Jada, not so much.

[@billiebrown3271]

[@jamiepark8157]

I remember when I watched this, feeling soooo uncomfortable. I felt like the emphasis on Jada's need to explain her guilt from a very removed place - while simultaneously almost pushing Will to agree that "yeah, things are okay" - was really obvious here. I also was disappointed that she didn't use the platform of The Table to actually apologize to him; to take some ownership and ask him how she could do better. He looked so uncomfortable and sad. It was painful to watch.

Personally I think when Will was asking Jada, “Tell us what you did?” “An entanglement?” Will was trying to get Jada to admit on record that she cheated/had an affair. That way when he moves to divorce her she’s already admitted she was cheating. But currently Jada can say, no I had an entanglement, meaning (fill in the blank with whatever gets her out of being guilty of cheating).

[@Mazalapad]

First time see your videos. Was attracted with this one in particular. I noticed couple of things . The way she sits tells not only that she is comfortable in this situation but also that she is a master of it . She is not faking it. This is what she is. She is relaxed and dominant like “who can tell me anything? I know better than all of you.”Her face is another story so much arrogance and pride, and she is obviously a narcissist. Her ego is bigger than her. I’m not a specialist at this field, but I’m naturally very sensitive and usualully I feel this kind of things. Poor Will.

[@jp-ju1iv]

Jadas disposition through this whole interview is very - I've done nothing wrong. I can justify all my actions. Where as Will's is like he is humiliated and broken. Jada reminds me of the kind of person that will hurt you and then say "I'm sorry you feel that way."

[@southernladyish]

@@fergoka it makes perfect sense when you’re dealing with a broken person who has low self esteem. I can speak from personal experience. Broken people don’t really understand that they’re broken. They have think they understand it… but until you’re healed, you can’t truly see just how broken you were. Narcissists feed off of brokenness. It’s like a magnet drawing them in. It’s a game. So they will give you the world while making themselves irresistible in the beginning to give you something to hold on to and long for. Once they’ve got you.. fully, that’s when they flip. They convince you that you’re worthless, you’re not a good person, no one wants you, and they’re doing you a favor by being with you. They constantly brag about themselves and build themselves up while they do this to you so it convinces you even more that you’re so lucky to have them. It’s just evil.. This cycle traps people. It causes those broken pieces to break down more and more over time. It honestly takes a lot for a person to take a step back and see what’s really going on. But even still, you have to be the one to ultimately decide if you’re worth more or are they worth the torment. Some never see it. Just my opinion, but I think Will has brokenness that has never healed from his childhood up until present day. Jada feeds on this brokenness and uses it to her advantage. Which in turn, keeps him holding on tight. I could be completely wrong and they both could be toxic as hell. But I know that look in his eyes.. and I sure as hell know the look in hers. Another good example, Amber and Johnny. Johnny freaking Depp.. with a C lister Amber Heard. She abused him and drained his money. Mans could literally have anyone in the world. But instead he’s with her. Makes no sense on the outside looking in but to them, it makes the most sense.

[@teraedwards8083]

If you read his auto biography, you would understand how true this is... Will has always been the man to diffuse with humor. He's acknowledged this. And despite his faults, I will always admire him. He is human. Doing the best he can in the spotlight of humanity.

[@popcultureperspectives164]

For personal reasons this is fascinating, because I learned something about myself. I say "honestly" A LOT. And your coverage of Jada made me think about that and why I do that? In my case, I think it's because in my childhood I was never believed when telling the truth. So, I always over-use and over-emphasize words like "actually"... "honestly"..."truly"..." in truth". I honestly (lol 😊) was not consciously aware I did this until you mentioned it here. I'm actually really bad about it.

I went through my wife having had an affair about 3-3.5 years ago. It was an absolute gut punch. Her immediate behavior when she was caught was outrage. She moved to being defensive and snarky. She progressed into depression and drinking. She went back to outrage when I found out she was still seeing the guy. She was present, she said she was committed to us, but it was just like Jada here: totally absent of warmth and any convincing emotion. I can see the heartache in Will's face; he looks like he's on the verge of crying most of the time. My wife's emotion and demeanor toward me didn't improve dramatically for 8-9 months until I was speaking very truthfully about my emotional experience to someone not knowing it was her friend (it was not one of my contacts and I thought it was another person's #). My wife knew we had the convo and asked to read it. It was then when she saw my full heart and the full gravity of ALL of her actions throughout that period hit her and things turned around. I'm not at all surprised Jada is still acting like this; it's all still pretty raw at this time and sin doesn't like being in the light. They still had a long road to go down for full healing. I also immediately expected how this was behind the slap. Chris was kind of attacking Jada in the guise of a joke and Will has gone through a kind of hell to retain and rebuild his relationship, so he's VERY protective of it. He wants to be a better husband, a more supportive husband, and the kind of husband she wouldn't want to leave again. His ego was blasted and his ego is now very attached to his success as a husband. I went through it. It shocked me that no one seemed to think about this when the slap happened. That was a broken man still trying to rebuild himself, or a previously broken man who had rebuilt himself on a foundation that necessitated that act of aggression.

@williamwong8839 yes, stronger than ever. I went through what he did though with the insecurity and thinking about how I could be a better husband she feels lucky to have. So, I got it as soon as I saw her look at him and him confront and assault Chris Rock, I knew what it was

@MrClaytonbyington I had some support counciling me through it every time I felt overwhelmed and mentally spiraling. I got through it by the grace of God.

[@animula6908]

You can’t take that crap out on other people physically. Your bad decisions and blaming yourself for the victimization by an abusive and contemptuous spouse are yours to cope with. Dishing it out in physical aggression to innocent bystanders just because you can and it makes you feel like a non-emasculated man is not socially acceptable to anyone.

You being aware of Will Smiths ability to defuse serious situations with humour is spot on. In his book he also talks about always being a “pleaser” starting from his youth in family relationships etc. Basically he himself has confirmed that he always just wants everybody to get along and be happy so he is in fact using humor as a sort of a tool in those hard situations.

Jada's sitting posture, broad, sweeping hand gestures conveyed to me "this is my territory, I am in control of the narrative". As much as she says it's private and she doesn't want to talk about it, here she's determined and getting comfortable as it may last a while. I don't know, just really struck me as a difference in their approach to this talk. Her "no, we were over" very much sounds like justification to me.

[@carmenespinal9329]

When she said “entanglement” and Will made her stop and was sarcastic as he questioned her verbiage and she stared him straight on with no blinking after that, when he said “an entanglement???”, and she said something like “:…that’s what I….said” with a kind of hidden smile and that upward inflection in her voice when she said “said” but the stare down for those few seconds was like, intimidating him in a light way, attempting to do it lightly anyway. Cause her voice is high and kind of trying to sound relaxed but firm…but also high, so it’s like it doesn’t match, she’s trying to keep her voice calm but she’s really concealing the urge to get loud and forceful….but her eyes and eyebrows are not lifting or opening wider which would match that high inflection, but the deep stare and her eyes being set on him with no blinking doesn’t match it so it looks off. And I thought maybe it’s Botox or something but in other clips of her talking she doesn’t have the lack of expression due to Botox. So I think she’s trying to maintain and calmness because she knows she’s the one on trial but she’s not liking how Will is getting kind of sarcastic at her approach and her minimizing verbiage, he’s like alright I’m taking control here go ahead and get to the nitty gritty Jada, and she’s not used to that in my opinion but it’s like he’s taking advantage of the opportunity cause he knows and she knows, she’s in the hot seat here. She’s low key like I have to be calm now but when this is over, your gonna regret this lol

i love how it ends with Will needing to be willing to find the deep capacity to love her. not even like his ability to forgive or something. she puts it all onto him for their willingness to repair. you didn't show it in this video but at some point when she talks about the affair, she basically says it was a healing experience for her. it's all so without thought for him and his pain. even if she actually felt like this somehow ended up being a positive experience, there is no reason to say that to your spouse. they don't need to know that the act that betrayed, hurt and angered them was also a great spiritually healing experience. she reads like a huge narcissist to me.

[@maitaimik]

Maybe I can take sides; it seems Jada ultimately wears the pants in this relationship, Will loved her and maybe she manipulated the relationship so she could boink August and maybe cause Will pain. Will is of course deeply hurt and the child in his soul doesn't trust her anymore, his innermost desire is for things to be the way they were before the rupture of their relationship, and the slap on Chris Rock was an exaggerated gesture by Will to reassert dominance over and possession of Jada in public. By reacting like a Macho-Man in defense of his "Woman", he is, in reality, saying that this is really how I would like to slap Jada for all the shit she created. I would go so far as to say Will is between a rock and a hard place with his feelings, on the one hand he is in danger of appearing to be pussy-whipped weakling in public and on the other hand his sense of self-respect demands a demonstration of machismo in response to his "Woman" being dissed in public by another man. Remember that most men need the four women rolled into one, in the woman they are with, i. the trophy wife ii. the mother substitute, iii. the homemaker, saintly mother of his children, iv. the harlot, whore and debauched sex object. I fear Will has had to share the fourth one and is never going to be happy with her or trust her again.

[@Joe-xo4yg]

Narcissists take any expression of love as failure or weakness on your part. The more he loves her, the more she will keep her distance and manipulate him. Painful to watch. Hope Will gets it trough his skull that this fight can’t be won and cuts her loose.

[@fantasticmrfox7497]

It's difficult for those in such relationships to get out. They think they need to love more and show more understanding. In the meantime, they lose their families, friends, support network, reputation and self worth. Sometimes they even believe that the other person needs them. Whichever is the case, they would continue to have some lucid moments when their subconscious tells them to run 🏃‍♂️ but they simply have had their confidence eroded to the point where they are no longer certain about what they need to do.

On top of it she should be thanking him over and over again for giving her another chance after what she did not only did she cheat on him she did it with a family friend that they all knew and we’re spending time with as a family, it doesn’t get more messed up than that.

[@melody8923]

It is difficult though, isn't it? I mean, Will agrees that he was done with her and they had agreed to go out and find what made them happy individually at the time. Is it hurtful if the first thing that happens after something like that is that your "partner" engages in a relationship with someone else? Definitely. But is it cheating? Is it cheating if even now, they both agree that they were separated at the time? Is it cheating just because they were still married? Even though that marriage was an open marriage? I don't know, that doesn't seem like as easy or obvious an answer to me as many people are making it out to be...

Unfortunately I reacted so much like Will during the relationship, constantly seeking reassurance that I was doing a good job in the relationship and that I was loving him enough (even blaming myself for his bad behavior), and giving him way too much leeway. Seeing everyone in the comments calling out how self-absorbed and abusive her behavior is is *so* reaffirming and so helpful to me right now, as I'm still struggling with understanding what the hell happened to me in my relationship.

[@LifeOnHoth]

​@@clown134 I can see how it might look like that. However, living with a narcissist (spouse, child, sibling, parent and whatnot - people you love) is a very very real challenge, and brings you all kinds of issues and problems. Surviving one of those relationships coming out with head high and functioning after years to decades of constant gaslighting - that brings extra challenge. The common for most of these relationship is that the narcissist will work hard to keep you around so that in practice they can keep on manipulating you because they are extremely insecure individuals. I'm aware my description of a narcissist is lacking, but I assure you I know a lot about this, it's just not the platform to discuss it in great details. But feel free to ask any questions. So are we treating Will like a child? I don't think so. I don't think so. Breaking a relationship can be a traumatic experience for all involved. I guarantee you breaking a relationship with a gaslighting narcissist, thats GONNA be EXTREMELY traumatic. Because until you're done and worked through it, you will constantly question your sanity. So Will is facing very very real problems with this, that he needs help figuring out. That's sound advice from one adult to another imho. Not treating him like a child. I know you didn't ask for an elaboration, but since I know this is a real problem that needs real life solutions and it's not healthy to stay alone with them problems - I thought I'd clarify that.

When you are in a long relationship. You have tried loving the other person and meeting in the middle to make that relationship work. The other person in the relationship can only ever focus on themselves. It is time to take space for yourself. I was in a toxic relationship for 30 years and did everything I could to make it work. But little parts of you start to die. That is not ok. It is ok to take a step back and just work on yourself. At the end of the day, we live with ourselves. No one else is in our heads. If we stay somewhere, that just makes us angry and resentful. That is not ok. It is not good for us or the world. Thank you for your good work!

You’re talking to your spouse about a man that you had a sexual relationship with. Even if you guys were broken up at that time it would still be painful to your husband to bring that up.

She is deeply entrenched in her own narcissism and will likely never be able to face her own abusive behaviors. You can tell Will has developed careful language to try to navigate her reactivity and gaslighting. He's trying to speak very clearly and directly, while also trying not to make her lash-out and take it out on him later.

[@29riverad]

Listening to you explain this makes me think Jada is really deranged. You're the first one to really give a detailed perspective about this relationship. I didn't know August was sick. Who has a sexual relationship with someone who is dealing with very serious mental issues, much less someone who is the age of your son. It's borderline abuse, right? I'm starting to think she gets off on being with wounded men. Either she met them wounded, or she creates the damage in the people she claims to love. It's really messed up! I read Will's book and felt it gave a good perspective of who he is and why he does the things he does. I wonder if that slap was really him unleashing all the anger he's had over August, Tupac, Chris trying to get with his wife, and the stress of keeping up appearances, and constantly trying to be the good guy. He said in his book, that he often felt like a coward. I think he wanted to empower himself in that moment. It's too much pressure for anyone, especially someone who is constantly in the public eye. His explosion was long overdue. I view that slap now as the culmination of everything that was pent up inside. He needed to explode. It's just unfortunate that it played out the way it did. I feel bad for Chris too. He definitely didn't deserve that. But Will deserved that Oscar, and he deserved to get it without the drama. Jada is drama. We've learned it follows her everywhere. I wish Will could have a do-over. He should of just taken one of his kids or his mom to the Oscars. How great would that night have been with the woman who raised him by his side. All the years of hard work, the wonderful brand Will has created for himself, would have been celebrated. I still root for Will, and wish him continued success. I hope he's able to earn another Oscar when his 10 yr. ban is up, and he gets to do it the way he had intended. I will NOT be reading Jada's book. She's used men to make a name for herself, and she's proved she is NOT "worthy."

Entanglement is a synonym of adultery. Using the former word has a euphemism tone to it. Dig deeper with morality, it is adultery. We all fall short of the glory of God. I can't judge her. However people such as Jada should just say it as it is-- "I committed adultery", period.

I don't believe Jada truly thinks she's done anything wrong. I think Will is trying to pretend everything is fine and he's come to terms with it, when he hasn't.

[@deadpoolgaming997]

She should be friends with Amber Turd

[@chp4822]

I too took the “getting you back” in a different context than the presenter did. I took it as a revenge statement like you. Will’s ego needs to get that revenge. He gonna “get her back.”

Jada takes NO responsibility for HER actions. She was helping him, they were really, really good friends, bigger things in the world, we were having issues… etc. She has many excuses that blame other people and situations but I haven’t heard her say it was her fault in any way! She makes me sick how she doesn’t step up and how she doesn’t think it’s a big deal.

[@mimicocozza1537]

Shame on her,,,to face her husband and discus# her affair like she’s planning A party,, she makes a fool out of herself discussing personal business at her”red table” she should be ashamed and embarrassed,,to admit to her husband and on tv her actions Personally I think Will Smit slapping Chris Rock was meant mentally for Jada she makes him look like a wimp shame on her can’t stand her I’m embarrassed for her children discussing such personal intimate entanglement in her children’s presence Her mother doesn’t correct her Will should dump her Unfortunately he will have to share his monies because she would starve otherwise Bye Jada

[@Gem1128]

You are amazing Great analysis and explanation ❤

[@rachm6036]

I had a totally different read on the "I'ma get you back" segment. To me it wasn't "I will win you back romantically", to me it seemed like will was jokingly saying "I'ma put you through what you've put me through" and she responds that he already did and once again he jokes and agrees it's probably true in a "yeah I'm not perfect either"

[@DeadSezSo]

"We became really good friends. And it started with me wanting to help" no Jada. You became involved sexually, he became involved emotionally. That's not helping. I don't care if she helped him by talking to him or teaching him some coping skills or whatever. You should never enter into any kind of relationship with someone who is coming to you for guidance. Ever. She hurt that boy deeply, it's obvious he was in love with her and she considered him a sex toy essentially.

[@celestialstar8115]

Thank you for realizing this. People don’t believe that women are completely capable of using men for sex especially when men are emotionally vulnerable and men easily get emotionally involved. She just wanted a younger dick.

"I wanted to help his health, so I let him hit the coochie." - Jada Pinkett All jokes aside, you can tell Will is hurting throughout this whole thing. Just like Chris didn't deserve the slap, Will DID NOT deserve this treatment from Jada. It's obvious this happened so she could attempt to justify her sleeping with another dude.

Will is codependent with both his kids and his wife. Too afraid to set reasonable boundaries on any of them for anything no matter how much it hurts him, even going as far as to say that he wants them to behave the way they do. At his very core, Will is afraid that he can't be loved, and afraid they will reject him, and THAT FEAR is his violent dad's fault.

[@robertblackmore703]

I don’t know if she’s comfortable or not, but she’s definitely cognizant of trying to project calm control. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of soft sincerity in this woman. She strikes me as the type who revises stories, equivocates, and convinces herself of the new truth she’s rewritten.

[@HalfKort]

[@KaeBae_]

I just watched a music video to a song called "A Thousand Kisses" that Will and Jada made back in the early 2000s I think. In the lyrics, Will is professing his unconditional love and affection to Jada in most of his lyrics, but when Jada sings her verse, all she talks about is how much Will adores her and how funny he is. That one song pretty much encapsulates their entire relationship through the years. Jada has never been in love with Will. She has only been in love with the idea of having someone worship her. Will left his first wife for her.

[@sunnygibbs925]

Yip…my eyes are opened now!

[@lastjob2011]

I saw an interview where Will admitted he equates success with hard work. He he said he only takes off two weeks per year! That is absolutely ridiculous, ESPRCIALLY for a multi-millionaire! Anyway, while he's on the other side of the country filming a movie, Jada is at home with her two kids being a semi- single mom and sleeping with Marc Anthony and then her son's friend August. I'm sure he will now admit that the extra money wasn't worth it. They have enough for five lifetimes. That is, before he has to pay Chris Rock for the adsault!

[@aliciag1353]

Narcissists do that. They don’t care about others.

[@rubya6951]

Spot on observation. Yes everyone is aware of it. Everyone but Will. So sad.

[@rain-wanders]

When I first saw this interview, I really thought that it seemed like Jada had the ability to cognitively separate herself from what she'd done and what role she plays in the challenges of the relationship. Everything was laughed off, dismissed, etc. It made me feel like Will was the only one upset by any of it, and Jada just thought it was no big deal. It really gave me the impression that she's a narcissist, and Will loves her enough to stay in the unhealthy relationship with this narcissist.

[@jlmurray9988]

The question I’m asking is WHY. What does he get from it consciously or unconsciously? My mother was a narcissist - my father stayed forever in a relationship that belittled him. Everyone loved my dad. Hmmmmmmmm …

Very interesting. What I noticed the first timeI saw this video( Will, Jada) was the hurt expressed in Will eyes and mouth. I also saw that Will lets her lead. I think Will is attached to the image of his couple. He wants the world to see his « perfect » couple and family on photos. He said it many times in an interview with Oprah, he has a business agreement with her, but he is still toxiquely attached to her.

I’m sure you have many I just started following your channel. Thanks a lot.!

1:04 Jada: "This is miniscule." And in the next frame, Will's face says it all. Heartbreak and helplessness. It's in the eyes that reach out as the chest sinks in.

[@Melisit83]

[@jonnhanks8274]

For me, when Will questions her "Entanglement" line, Jada gives a small yet telling smirk from one side of her mouth and then gives a child-like (teeheehee) laugh, which only gives away the fact that she knows she's doing and is trying to dismiss the whole thing and distance herself. Like when a child is caught with their hands in the cookie-jar but lies and says they're just putting more cookies in there and laughs it off when that lie isn't believed. Another great body-language breakdown video! Thank you for your great insights!

[@ghutchin33]

Such a great analysis. At the end Will says “ How am I doing ?” to give her an entry point to praise him and say something affirming to HIM. He needed her affirmation and it was his only opportunity because throughout the interview it was all about HER , her needs and his love for her. He even begins the interview ( not shown) by saying he told her in the beginning of their relationship “ I could love you through anything ?” The “ How am I doing ?” refers to this promise … his commitment, devotion, self sacrificing spirit , and love for HER as promised in his vow. It’s a little sad to watch.

[@josephrichardson6818]

Wow I think you did a totally awesome job at this I think you hit most of this right on the nose. Except one thing, the head tilt on Will Smith. Being a fan of Will Smith I (and probably you maybe) have seen alot of his acting and well as interviews of him being himself and I can tell you his acting is very in tune with how he naturally reacts. The head tilting is him getting angry, even anticipating that he is going get angry. The jokes are a saving technique he uses to calm himself down internally.

[@iroqoco]

I grew up on The Fresh Prince, and seeing him in this situation is painful. The pain in his body is so obvious. He fought back the tears, and all she could say was, "you're doing great." I appreciate this video because it provides a glimpse into their relationship and how disconnected she is from her actions. She's taking no responsibility for cheating on her husband, AND she's used her child's friend to build up her self-esteem by taking advantage of this very sick friend at his lowest point. Maybe that is the reason for this "friend" to stop contacting her. Maybe he's realized how she didn't help him, that she took advantage of him, and used him to gain more power in her relationship with her husband. She is preying on people and it is scary to witness. I can only hope that the ones she has already harmed can find the strength to leave that toxic relationship.

Kid can’t ask literally anyone else for help? It’s gotta be his rich friends hot famous mom?

It takes two to entangle… and August has some dookey on his hands as well.

[@elaineanderson2989]

She ISNT saying he isn't partially responsible she is saying Jada is SUPPOSED to be an adult which she is clearly not since she doesn't understand that being an adult you are required to be more responsible because you are supposed to know a bit more than a confused 22 yr old at her age. I'll just bet you she would suddenly get the message if another woman took advantage of her vulnerable son in the same way, then you would see claws fly, bcos she is such a hypocrit as well.
