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.

[@b-eazy715]

Looking for constant approval from the interviewer 👀

[@iamvicklayo]

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

[@veronicaparker-taylor853]

I agree, I’ve always LOVED Will & Jada…and nothing has changed. I even mentioned them in my acknowledgments in my 1st Published Book. Grace and Mercy. She is a deep thinker and a beautiful spirit. 😇💥✨💫

@@DJWOLFLIVE it’s actually a healing process. She speaks about different aspects of her life with different interviewers. It’s more than just her marriage or her and WILL. She speaking from areas that no one could heal but GOD before her and WILL

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

@@iamvicklayo I think you drinking the Kool-aid from Jada because there is no healing going on between them just a public massacre of their marriage and careers this is exactly what’s going on. I can’t believe people are falling like suckers for her BULLISH!!!! Then again because she’s a STRONG BLACK WOMAN” I guess some people will fall for anything 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@StilettoCutsQuick.]

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.

[@jayjohnson5346]

How are you going to speak on what is in that mans heart? I really cannot stand people like you. She isnt talking FOR Pac. Tupac did an MTV interview right after being released from jail where on video he said "Jada is my heart . She will be my friend for my whole life" We'll be old together," he said. "She can have my one heart, my liver, my lungs, my kidneys, my blood, marrow, all of it." This isnt just a quote. He is on VIDEO saying this that you can see on KZbin Tupac wrote poems about Jada....he friendzoned someone he wrote poems for? Lol. One of Pac's friends from Digital Underground just did an interview saying Pac always spoke about Jada nonstop like a broken record A new Tupac biography came out last month and his younger sister Sekyiwa had a quote in it saying that Tupac had pictures of Jada on the wall in his bedroom when he was in high school When Pac got shot the first time and was in the hospital...guess who his mother called....Jada. Clearly for him to be close with both Pac and his mother says their friendship was special He put her in the Keep Ya Head Up music video and she was one of the inspirations behind the song

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.

[@Qtsm5784]

[@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.

[@jayjohnson5346]

As a former dealer you should read her book instead of making assumptions You can also google "Jada Pinkett Smith drug raid" and see an old article from 2005 that talks about a man by the name Chet Pajardo who was indicted by Feds for drug conspiracy out of a house that Jada owned in the early 90s. She knew the guy since the 80s as well and speaks about him in her book. His case is on the Department of Justice website. He did time in jail and came out, Jada knew him personally. The drug story clearly is true. She said the same story years ago on Sway its nothing new. She said on Sway she met Pac when she was dealing drugs. She was coming out the life and he was going in. She grew up in early 80s Baltimore when the crack epidemic just started. She sold out of an apartment in an area of Baltimore named Cherry Valley. She wasnt on the corner

[@raquelj7501]

It’s a lot of simple minded people in the comments, who clearly needs to heal their own traumas and pain. To go in on someone speaking their truth is insane to me. Our community has a lot of healing to do, it’s a lot of projecting going on.

[@MarkMacrone-ng4ft]

Jada Smith complains about HOLLYWOOD not wanted to work with her essentially because of the Chris Rock Slap but her assertion are not accurate, the reason why studios do not want to work with her are for a number of other reasons. There is a LAWSUIT LOOMING a copyright infringement issue that exposes the Smith Machine misappropriating material for Emancipation film which lead to someones DEATH. Including new ANTISEMITIC allegations or accusations made against Will and Jada. She now wants to put other books out there off the backs of other writers is unfair... She needs to clean up her mess first before she can become a REAL Guru!

[@og1368]

She really mirrors who is interviewing her which is a skill. I don’t know her outside of what I’ve seen and heard. I don’t like much of her ways of airing her families business. I do find her to be seeking herself and for deeper meaning which I respect and might learn a thing or two.

Jada is a legend in black hollywood. She has a classic TV show "A Different World" in black culture and had multiple classic movies in the 90s like Menace to Society, Jasons Lyric, Set It Off, Low Down Dirty Shame. These are all classic black movies You seem to be the type who only watches mainstream movies and if you didnt hear about it its not classic. On the mainstream side she also was in the Matrix movies and Madagascar movies But she made her mark in Black culture in the 90s...go watch more Black movies. There are more movies besides what you saw Denzel and Will in

Because they were separated and living apart. Not that complicated to get. Use your brain. The only difference is Will and Jada are famous Married but separated couples are all over. If you have married relatives who have been fighting alot but wont divorce and have separated for years...lets say the man gets into a fight with someone and says not to touch his wife... If the wife he been separated for years and always fighting with sees that, wont most women in this position be surprised as well?

[@somethingelse419]

33:46 Sounds weird to suggest, but Jada is a poor communicator. She’s like Cornell West; she drowns people in a jumble of words. The question is whether her intent is to lie, to avoid lying, or if she just can’t keep her talking points simple. Because ma’am is splitting hairs like a pro, and she’s letting poor Touré stumble through a pitch black maze of his own theories about the Smiths’ (not) open situationship. In this case, all Jada had to say was that she and Will decided to have sex with others but no relationships. Oh, and they communicate about their game plans first. Done. It really doesn’t have to be that deep, J! 😂

[@StilettoCutsQuick.]

She feels the need to make wanting to have sex with other people to sound like this beautiful, progressive, ultimate sacrifice for their love for one another instead of what it really is…..Sex with other people….And she has to make it sound like it is impossible to stay committed in Hollywood, please the whole Smith family is the perfect example of what is wrong with the people in Hollywood.

[@somethingelse419]

@@StilettoCutsQuick. I agree that she defaults at flowery words and bombastic rhetoric when discussing simple things. I attribute to the artist in her. But she and her family aren’t what wrong in Hollywood. Please, let’s add some context, shall we? Hollywood is filled with pedophiles, SA, rapists, the casting couch, and all the addictions. The Smiths aren’t apex predators in that world. Matt Lauer was locking women in rooms to SA them. Weinstein had a whole machine behind his SA. People are running to islands for who knows what kind of action. Heck, I just read about Anthony Anderson having multiple SA accusations thrown his way by different women! Will and Jada are nowhere near any of that. Them having an open marriage is nothing in comparison. Jada having a CONSENSUAL relationship with a TWENTY-FIVE year old MAN who was also her child’s friend isn’t illegal. Is it the norm? No. But it’s not illegal.

[@StilettoCutsQuick.]

@@somethingelse419 yes Hollywood is filled with awful predators. But that is not only what is in Hollywood. The Smiths are Hollywood thru and thru and will do and lie about anything to protect their brand. And don’t even get me started on their over privileged kids being handed music careers. Jada should stay in Baltimore and figure herself out and quit protecting the lies. But she won’t there is too much money involved and too much will be taken from their kids.

I don’t agree with the lifestyle that Will and Jada had but it’s also a lifestyle they consensually agreed upon as a married couple. You’d be surprised what most of these Hollywood couples are doing behind closed doors that don’t even compare to what Will and Jada have spoken about publicly…. I think a lot of the hatred Jada receives is because she and Will treat each other as equals. An open relationship is not just for the man. Will has also had relationships with other women, but no one cares about that. People still bump Future’s music, Drake’s music and watch Nick Cannon’s Wild n’ Out show and make light hearted jokes about their questionable/problematic behavior as if it’s no big deal. But when Jada participates in extramarital affairs, she’s a snake. It’s the misogynoir of it all for me…..

No she said she visited him in jail she didnt say he proposed in jail. Everytime Jada says something yall wanna come at that woman and claim she lying. Her and Will have an odd marriage i wont comment on that But when she talks about Pac she is NOT lying about things she says. I dont get why people dont get this. Pac has relatives still alive why do people act as if they are dead? His sister Sekyiwa and stepbrother Mopreme are both still alive and been in the news lately this year. For Pac's walk of Fame ceremony, and being interviewed over the murder case. My point is that if Jada was lying they would have been said so. Especially if Jada told Toure that she helped out Tupac's mom while he was locked up and paid for lawyers. Sekyiwa is Tupac's little sister. They have the same mother. If Jada was lying about these things they would have called her out. I read Jada's memoir and she even mentioned Sekyiwa name in her memoir. Meaning she probably reached out to her about the book Tupac's own cousin also said in an interview this summer on KZbin that Pac always told him he wanted to marry Jada and move to Arizona and was trying to put in motion the steps to marry her when he was in jail

Did the same thing with the Tupac proposal thing. Said she lied then a video of her cousin confirming it came out Anyway its well known Jada sold drugs in Baltimore. If you google "Jada Pinkett Smith drug raid" you will see an article from 2005 about how a house she owned since 94 that was raided by the Feds. The person arrested was named Chet Pajardo and charged with drug conspiracy...if you watched this whole interview with Toure she also named "Chet" by name as well You can google all this and see for yourself, this "Chet" person was on the Department of Justice website. Jada grew up in the early 80s when crack first hit. More people sold then than they do now. She was a drug dealer when she met Pac...she was getting out of the life and Pac was getting into it. Both their mothers were drug addicts thats one of the main things they bonded over. Since they were not around alot and they had no dads they both hustled to make money. The two of them both came from nothing and made it big thats why they had so much love for each other

[@Msk-wb1yg]

@j2wilson2000 she was outed and then acknowledged it. Left to her she prolly woulda wanted it kept under wraps. Will acknowledged to infidelity as well, only difference is his side piece was quiet.

[@b-eazy715]

I’m not so sure anyone hates her it may be the constant lies and betrayal to her fans and the narcissism and hypocrisy disguised as wisdom😂😂

[@zinawinder1220]

As always, a great interview. I don’t need to another.

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

I’m convinced that Jada’s life is one big ass bore because PAC is literally all she’s talking about in this interview and Will is second to PAC. It’s almost like THEY WERE NEVER MARRIED 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jayjohnson5346]

No it isnt why are you lying? The interview is an hour long. Toure asked her about Pac first and she answered his question. The rest of the interview was about Will and her marriage

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

@@jayjohnson5346 She talks about PAC for years WTF are you talking about? Toure is not the only person that has interviewed Jada, just GOOOGLE IT!

[@jayjohnson5346]

@@DJWOLFLIVE Im not lying i watched the whole interview. You definitely did not if you are gonna claim its all she talked about The interview is also separated by parts and you can clearly see other things are discussed I know she talks sbout Pac for years. They were childhood best friends and friends after they became famous too He is the most famous rapper ever of course he is gonna be discussed because people are gonna ask about him

[@DJWOLFLIVE]

@@jayjohnson5346 Read what I actually said! I never said that you were lying I said that in MANY interviews she’s talking more about PAC than Will!

[@jayjohnson5346]

@@DJWOLFLIVE Well maybe interviewers should start asking her about Will and upcoming projects he has . But they just ask about their marriage And ill keep saying this...being married for their brand but separated for 6 years is a dead giveaway. Will is probably a closeted man ...Despite Jada laughing in this interview about the gay/beard rumors im sure its probably true for Will. She is denying it but her actions she cant hide. Because of her street upbringing its hard for her to fake an attraction if she isnt genuingly into someone. She knows what Will has been doing for decades and got tired of living a lie and started breaking down the past decade. This is all easy to get if people read between the lines She said on her own show years ago she didnt want to get married but her mom convinced her to Will wants to keep up the fake image but she cant do it like she used to back when they first got married so she is trying to get him to end the relationship himself because she is tired of lying for him This is why years before any of this they told us they transitioned from husband and wife to "life partners" aka business partners. They stay married for their brand She isnt in "love" because most women cannot fake being in love with a man who is closeted no matter how much they claim that. This is why she is so easily able to reminisce about Tupac The rapper MC Shan said in multiple interviews he was originally the lead for Fresh Prince but he turned it down when the creator Benny Medina tried to come onto him and ask to sleep with him for the role. He said the next time he looked, Will had the role. Some years back that same Benny Medina was accused by another man of sexual assault... A month ago on LiveTV they even asked Jada about the gay rumors. They been around for decades. Where there is smoke there is fire. Jada could try to be fake about Will but she probably cant force herself too. If her husband fucking dudes how is a woman gonna show love in public? Sorry for the long post

[@politicallyincorrect1283]

She is struggling to justify herself l. I mean my good keep Will name out your mouth. She keeps putting her foot in her mouth and is wanting to indirectly shift blame to Will for the backlash she’s getting.

[@jayjohnson5346]

The Jada hate is getting ridiculous the way yall nitpick and find any slight thing to complain about just cause the media told you its the cool thing to hate Jada The day when Will comes out the closet and says he is Gay and that Jada was protecting his secret for him im gonna laugh my ass off at how quick people switch up after looking stupid for defending a Gay man who aint even intimate with Jada lol 😂 Shit gonna shut the internet down lol

[@melaniejones7843]

She is such a narcissist! She keeps saying Hoda didn't get it; none of us did! I don't think Jada knew where she was going with her psycho-babble bulls--t! It wasn't until after she heard herself that she decided to change the narrative. #GirlBye

[@Nicjr4]

I understood exactly what she was saying the first time. It wasn’t that difficult to understand.

[@Blckbrry500]

This interviewer was horrible. Hence, that I typically don’t watch this podcast. I did this time because of Jada. His questions starting at minute 42:00, I turned it off.

[@kiasams8715]

I think jada and will need to have a televised marriage therapy session... with a real therapist. People gonna stay nosy so just let them hear both sides. And come to a conclusion , and apologize to each other. We all got dirt and buried bones so im not judging something i know nothing about. She has the right to talk about her own life how she wants to. I wouldn't give two flying f"s what you people thought. In actuality they have normal relationship problems. Especially in this messed up society. We love Will but we know deep down that Will done did dirt too if not more. She being harshly judged because you people think she should just be happy to be with a man of will smiths caliber. But It dosent work like that. But i wish she would move on from tupac. He wasn't no saint please stop talking about him. Just go be happy

[@tawandazidya6106]

Jada is a creep. She definitely has something on Will. Will isn't clean; and in that regard I may try to understand Jada's madness. Why madness? She agreed to a marriage she did not want. Will lost her before he even had her. And he lost himself at it, trying to please a woman who does not fancy him as the real deal.

[@adeshe22]

This dude has not even hung around black people for them to tell him chin up. Stop it

[@jessicapineda117]

9:44 she had THAT letter STILL?? The letter where Tupac proposed to her??? I would have NOT walked down the isle with a man to marry him if I still had a Ex’s proposal letter!! I had 2 boyfriends in the last who wrote me beautiful letters. They were long gone and in the trash by the time I married my husband. I do need to give her GRACE, it’s just hurts me that she disrespected someone who I value and admire; WILL.

[@pcpcpc873]

You're boyfriends are also not famous icons. Everyone has different needs, boundaries and values in a relationship. You didn't know if Will felt or feels disrespected by her keeping that letter.

[@spinel917]

The legend is laughable.. a legend in what? She is no legend at all

[@JloveLamar]

Jason's Lyric, A Different World, Set It Off, The Inkwell, Menace II Society, Demon Knight, The Nutty Professor, A Low Down Dirty Shame, The Matrix Series, Girl's Trip, Madagascar series, Collateral. LEAD roles in the majority of those films. Yes, she is absolutely a hood legend.

[@swannoir7949]

@@JloveLamarYeah, Jada was adored in the Black community. And we loved her in her early work. She didn't have to be mainstream for us. Hispanics knew and lived the hell out of Selena, but most of us had no idea who she was until she died.

[@jayjohnson5346]

Im assuming you are not from America. They named the films for you already. She wasnt as mainstream as Will but she had various classic movies in the black community. She has more black classic movies than Will does. Will has more overrall classics You not being familiar with these movies tells me you are out of touch with black american culture and only watch the big box office movies

[@jayjohnson5346]

You should get yourself more familiar with black movies and not just the movies White Hollywood tells you about

[@jayjohnson5346]

​@@swannoir7949The comments being surprised at her being called a legend tells me alot about the demographics of this comments section And then people wonder why we had things such as "Oscar So White" in the first place. Like do these people watch no black movies with black casts?
