I loved watching Debbie Allen in Fame, the series. She's broken through many glass ceilings. An inspiration.
Debbie Allen is a living legend and and icon. Thanks so much for bringing her onto the show.
In your mind.
@@WoundedWarrior2012"in your mind"? That woman Debbie Allen has done more in her first 30 years of life then you and most ppl will EVER accomplish in a lifetime !! This is partly why she just received the Kennedy Center Honor and has a presidential medal of freedom, the high honors in this country. She is indeed a icon and role model. Now wbu?
Debbie Allen is iconic for her ability to fill in the gap for so many❤
Glad see had Debbie by her side,! She needs support right now!!
Jada is a very confident woman. May God bless and guide her together with her family.
She gains confidence from tearing Will down
Uh…it’s not confidence! It’s called narcissism and self-entitlement!
I really can't wrap my head around the whole situation. I think some things have to be stay private.She should let her psychiatrist help her. Debbie Allen should have advised her to keep her business out of the street.
Easily impressed.
Selling a book
Thank you to Debbie for sitting with my girl Jada. Debbie is a fellow Bison and someone whose work and womanhood I respect tremendously. I remember when people tried to come for her when she got with Norm Nixon. Some people had issue with her beauty, sexiness and power as well, so she knows what it is. She overcame it and soared/created her own dynamic path, and has mentored so many. She was definitely a role model for me when I was a young woman, and she continues to be. Like, Jada, she’s never embarrassed Black people.
Here for Jada’s journey with this special woman. She is definitely before her time.
I admire her strength and intellect. I also thank Jada for the good work that she has done and I’ve enjoyed, with acting, the movies and shows she has produced, Oscar’s So White (Which had a profound impact on Hollywood), working on herself and telling her truth.
You rarely get to see strength like this, unabashed or unapologetic. I’m reminded by Jada how to stand strong in the face of adversity and to weather the storm with dignity - how to woman up.
Praying and chanting for her continued strength, clarity and self love.
Well said
Jada is looking more and more like her mom.
She is also looking like alopecia was never a problem.
@@QUIETSTORM43You make no sense....
That's the surgery
@@QUIETSTORM43alopecia isnt always permanent
Yea, a fiend.
Debbie Allen is definitely a Queen Mother. 💕💐 Congratulations to Jada on her new book, best wishes on her new endeavors, huge fan. 💕💐
This had me watching 👀 in tears. It was g👀d to see them together again.
Jada, there are millions of people who love
and support you. Keep your head up sis✊🏾
Debbie is beautiful! Ageless legend! ❤ we love you 😍
Gotta love Debbie Allen!! ❤
Yes I love the true support, we all need she hugged Jada like she’s truly her baby ❤
Debbie Allen came with that Auntie love for Jada.
Congratulations on your book, Jada. Proud of you! God bless you all.
❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Debbie is a class act
Jada is putting it all on the table. Whether ppl like it or not, she freeing herself
No, Britney freed herself. Jada is just embarrassing her family.
@@crs_stlAs much as I love Britney, please don't compare her to a black woman. They're not in the same lane.
@@Fast_and_Cool why, both of them are human , they are just a different color, black or white we all bleed the same color, red
AMEN
This is the only grace that Jada needs. The one from herself. I love her book and all the criticism she's experiencing is because she's showing that Will Smith also hasn't been perfect in their marriage and people want to blame her for his own silly behaviour and violence towards Chris. He wrote his memoir and failed to mention their separation and making it seem like Jada cheated when she hadn't so in clearing that up people are mad because she's telling truths they don't like. Well I'm glad Jada is at peace and healing. Those who need the book and its healing will get it. That's all she needs to know. Sending you love Jada.
Exactly. Both of them said he wasn't ready at the table nor when he wrote his book and she took the heat for all of that. Love Jada too!
PLEASE say it again for the people in the back! People blame her, no matter what. And let him off the hook, no matter what.
Yes her book is good… so happy to hear other people are reading the book as well
❤
Grace?? She deserves grace?? If Will is so bad, why didn't she divorce him?? She wants to play the victim but still get all the benefits of being Mrs Will Smith.
This has been the best book tour i've ever seen, keep talkingmrs Smith lovin this for u
Yes I love the fact that they showed her grace
Everyone makes lots of mistakes and we all deserve grace and forgiveness.
it's so beautiful that the Today show provided Jada with this kind of support, I feel like they were emotionally invested in telling her story with Debbie Allen beside her
I love Jada and Debbie Allen!! ❤ amazing women
Im so happy Jada is giving the grace she deserve in this man centered world, I wish Jada and Will all the best.
Only watching this video for the INCONIC Debbie Allen ❤👑💃🏿
Me too!
@nr30199 Debbie would not like your energy. Debbie is there to support someone she loves, and you went out your way to shade Jada by uplifting Mrs. Debbie Allen would not approve.
@@theunquietmindpodcast
Same
The way she cradled her in that hug🥰
It's nice to read the positive comments.
I’m proud of Jada for not holding back that what’s wrong with people they hold things in good job jada
WE LOVE YOU JADA❤
Not all of us.
Jada, you are blessed with a great mentor in life. It's great to see how both of you love each other. Chin Up Always.
Speak your truth Jada!! I'm all for it!!
It's great to have a good person in there life
That's why Jada has so much beauty
Just goes to show that no matter how beautiful, successful, rich, famous or of high value and status we are, none of us will be immune to mental illness and insecurity challenges. Thank you Jada and the likes for showing the world that at the core, you are just like the rest of us.
Now that I agree with. Ain't no better than any fiend on the street.
Debbi looked as confused AF. She is like I don’t remember any of this calls. Lolz
😂😂😂😂
😂
Thank you, Jada, for sharing your truth❤. There are no words for Miss Debbie, but incomparable!
We love you Jada...it's sad that people didn't criticize Wills book. There is a lot of pain caused by Will.. but society always blame the woman
What’s sad is most ppl can’t empathize with her depression because black women aren’t “human” anyway. History has shown us that.
Oh plz..
@@Dutchtreat-pn3cjwhat do you disagree with ?
@@QUIETSTORM43 Most people in the U.S. maybe but the world is bigger. Jada&Will are globaly known. Here in NW Europe, there is a lot less racism. Saying that women with darker skin are not seen as human is totally not true over here.
plz. excuse my basic English.
I don't think color has anything to do with it. She's just not as likable as she was before. I hope she finds whatever she's looking for. As long as she makes it public, people can and will have an opinion.
It's so great to have a surrogate parent
Love Love Love Debbie Allen
Jada is more like a little girl around a wiser women when she is with Debbie this is a what she needs
It’s sad to see social media become a haven for gossip. These actors actually think thier lives matter enough to speak bad about thier own families to the public. What kind of human are these people.
The Queen!!! Ms. Debbie Allen
Life is a healing journey for anyone who thinks she’s been at it too long is laughable. The highest achieving women & women are constantly healing through something. Business. Personal. Marriage. Family. There’s always something.
I ❤ these two, Jada & Debbie.
Stay focused Jada❤❤❤We Love Debbie Allen 🎉🎉🎉and Jada
We as black women call each other sista and say we support one another but look how we are tearing Jada down for telling her truth. That’s why I’m so closed and don’t discuss how I’m feeling to my so called sistas because it’s fake. We all need grace and support.
This was beautifully done. Thanks for showing Jada some grace
Ffw
I love Debbie and Jada!
Mother and daughter are reunited.
LOVE this!!
Continue to heal I salute you Mrs Jada Smith
We love you Jada praying 🙏 ❤
Jada, I do not trust a thing that comes out of your “MF-in mouth.” In my humble opinion, I believe everything with you is an act. How can we tell that your behavior is not just to promote the book? With you and your entire family, it’s just one lie after another.
You can't be this mad at a woman you never met in real life... Nah... 🤣
@@TC_The_Art_Of_Crafting_N_Shyt having an opinion is not about me being mad..
Wow what a beautiful couple indeed ❤❤
She is so confident woman
YEAAAAH OKAY! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yea ok
Have a blessed day Hoda and NBC... Love you all. Love you Jenna my Beautiful Queen 💕💜💕💜💕🇺🇲🌹🇺🇲😎💯💍💍
Debbie is a National Treasure
So sad the book tour in DC is sold out 🫣🥹🥹
Beautiful women
Jada stay focused 🎉🎉❤❤❤
I miss Jada's original chin, eyes, and cheeks. It must be hard for Jada to not appreciate her Natural beauty
💕 you jada and Debbie! Im glad you are supporting jada! Beautiful inside and out!
Keep your chin up Jada! Give it to Jesus in prayer!!
Bless Jada 🙏🏾
Debbie Allen this woman what can i say. She just doesn't age she so classy beatiful Warm elegant a great dancer Mentor a great Human being love her.
I remember Jada was a great Actress before she married Will. Set it off, Jasons Lyrics. She looked rreally broken in this interview. Im just hoping wirh this book out now they just keep their biz of social media. They both need healing thats for sure.
Debbie Allen so beautiful 😍😍 my goodness.
And a legend.
@@NellieKAdaba she definitely is‼️
Our youth need to see examples like this because the first sign of trouble and they want a divorce or jumping off bridges. Healing is infinity.
So well said…and people need to hear more of this perspective than the one the media spinning
Hoda and Jenna asked the same questions multiple times during this interview looking for a different answer. They truly need to get better interviewing tactics or wrap it up. Jada and Debbie were very professional for words because I would have been like I just answered this.
Omg. You have to bring Debbie Allen to rescue you?😮
Now she’s has to drag her too into her lying mess I can’t believe this 😅😮
Debbie Allen is a lady. She’s one of my favorites. Jada has a lot to learn about what it takes to be a real woman
@@deloisjackson125 period!!
I think Debbie Allen is the same person that came to the rescue when Fantasia was spiraling out of control and going through depression after losing her house after American idol.
I never knew this, wow she is definitely a girls girl❤❤❤ I love to see bw sticking together.
I love Hoda
Jada is freaking gorgeous!
Of course get the book. You told us it ain't our business, so it ain't my business. But, you keep making it our business.. while you're in the public eye, your life is fair game. Thus, the comments. There is so much more to this relationship and we will never get the entire story. Lost respect for both, pray for them and their children.
I love love love the part about her and Tupac ❤❤❤ they made it out the hood together
😂😂😂
Oh 🥺
You notice how the View have not promoted her book…Whoopie on the Academy Awards voting committee…they cancelled Will and Jada is the collateral damage
I will read the book when it comes around again in the kindling pile before it is recycled.
Why did she do this to her face? This was not needed. She was a natural beauty.
Jada❤
Thank you God you okay love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And because Jada has that light…she always get hated on. (most of them are intimidated by her inner chi) Hollywood has not done justice by her…cuz she she still has much of her own being…that Hollywood wants to own…if you know, you know
Here we go poor thing
❤❤❤❤
❤❤
People are jealous of Jada’s
talent, that she questions things, is evolving, expanding, flowering that they’re stuck miserable in their own lives aka boxes.
💚☮️
Jada was probably going through MENOPAUSE when she was going through depression, feeling suicidal and pushing Will away…… that period of life is rough for many women……
Yeah. I’m surprised this is mentioned. It’s 2023 for goodness sake. Women’s health should be no mystery.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Debbie Allen BIG CAPRICORN ENERGY HONEY ❤❤❤❤
It’s all about “get the book” give me your money!
She sooooo passively aggressively defensive in this particular interview
Jada bots working extra hours👇🏽
When you have to have someone to paint you are honest and trustworthy, it’s a MF -in mouth…
Also Go deep,God saids we should be clear like water again God bless the world
Most mock worthy content Ever!
I don't like it when women call one another heifer. This is jmo. We deserve better than that.
Heffa (not heifer) is a southern term of endearment. My aunt used to call us lil heffas. We laughed and didn't take it as an insult. It's the way you say things that makes the difference. And it was said with warmth and love always.
@@La-wr5dn Okay, I knew Heffa before I learned cuss words 🤣
i agree
Debbie Allen is a wife. Jada is a crazy
This comparison is sooooo wrong
Yes you’re right, Debbie Allen is a loving wife and mother with sooo many fans
OMG. Debbie Can’t you see that Jada is using you to promote her toxicity.
I don’t want to read negativity and sadness! I’ll pass.
You know what so true. I want to watch old Christmas movies and cheerful lifetime movies 🍿 in this season with while wearing my Onesie and large mug with white chocolate mocha staycation from work. 😩✨🍿 ☕️ 🍁 🍂
Then you'll enjoy her book because that's not what it's about. I swear it's like ya'll really don't see what a healed person looks like 🤣
This woman is a nut case. Classic Narcissist.
delusion of grandeur came to mind.
Yes, she is. We should’ve saw it many years ago when his son Jaden wanted to emancipate himself from them.
Pray for her then!!
@@wildonez3076 You are more than welcome to pray for her rather than advertising how righteous you are.
I really don’t think people need to know about what’s going on in your marriage. Jada sometimes it’s best to not say anything
Dang I wanted to keep being mad at Jada, hahaha but I’m understanding more and more about her, maybe Will Smith is the problem hahaha and I just love Debbie Allen ❤️❤️❤️
She is the victim!!! She is been damaged for long time and the silly fool kept throwing his self about. Do you know how many women have to go through this
