I love the awkward silences the interviewer allowed because it pulls more from Jada. It's a great listening tactic most people should utilize because it allows the person communicating to go more in depth. Great job!
I’ve never heard Jada apologies for her wrong doings publicly. It’s all about her, her hurt and her pain her healing. What about the people she has hurt .
Maybe she needs that first before she can apologize. She has felt the need to protect herself for a long time so I would assume she has a different level of need to be understood before she can apologize
She is a narcissist. She doesn’t care about anything but herself. I usually love Steve’s interviews. He ridi his job but when you have a liar snake in front of you who is putting up a performance I don’t know… she comes out as so unauthentic no matter how much she tries. In fact she hasn’t won any Oscars that I remember of… but if I remeber well her “husband” has. And she managed to ruin that for him too
If my wife was talking about how miserable she was with me remixing it 100 ways and bragging about a dead rapper proposed to me, I'd not only divorce, I'd go as far away as possible from such a disturbed and dangerous person.
Just that hug! 😢 Stephen, this is what we've been missing in interviews with celebs - instead of wanting something out of them, you understand its an exchange of life experiences. Humanity, empathy and real connection is what makes this such an incredible episode!
@@akespt Yeah, you’re obviously not well versed in vulnerability. It’s not a Prescribed Response. Non-verbal communication plays a large part in broadcasting our needs. Only a Luddite acts like they know anything about vulnerability and condemns the expression of it.
@@engelgirl7360 Interesting you said that because I know people who haven't been to a university and have a better understanding of human thought than people who have their Phd in psychology. Attending a university does not equate to a person being competent in human interaction.
Steven Bartlett, you did a FANTASTIC job interviewing Jada Pinkett Smith. I love how you held space for her with neutrality so she felt safe to share what she wanted to share. And the hug you gave her was tremendous. Bravo to you!!
The part that really struck me was, I'm paraphrasing: "People who have suicidal thoughts do not truly want to die, but they want a part of them to die." I will think about this for a long time, I have a totally new perspective on this particular topic.
They want the pain to stop. It’s magnified to a point where it overshadows everything else in life, the struggle to find worth in continuing to go on. They just want that pain to stop.
It differs from person to person. However, this resonates with me. I also found it helpful when I realized I didn’t have the language to describe the immense pain. Saying I’m really hurting wasn’t enough, to closest thing to what I was feeling was to say I was suicidal, however in therapy I realized, that I just didn’t have the language. People tend to not be that helpful/supportive unless you are in dire need. But we should have a way to communicate and get support before it gets to that point.
"You can deal with it, or it will deal with you." Excellent interview, so much compassion and care from him while holding space for her to dig deep. So much respect for them both.
Last week, Gabor mate talked about how people behave when they’ve experienced trauma, especially childhood trauma it’s called trauma response. I could be wrong, but that’s what I see -- is jada’s trauma release. The way she behaved her whole life was a response to her not feeling loved, and now she’s unraveling it to the best of her ability. Great interview, I have compassion for her, and all of us who have been traumatized in childhood. May we all heal by hearing each others’s stories.
It is like listening to my narcissistic father all over again, it is exhausting. I don’t know if people realize what a torture it is to live with someone like that. They are always right, they are the only once with wisdom, there is zero accountability, nothing is their fault. Please stop giving this woman a platform to speak, she should not be giving advice to anyone. She is delusional.
Honestly, I love this guy. He can talk to anyone and brings out so much. I still do not like this woman, but I needed to hear her story. She caused as much pain as she experienced. I can see her being one scary witch on the playground and even in a place with many. It's another world, but how we respond to the negatives in life is what Character is made of, and I don't like hers. Superficial and selfish and needy for attention. Yuck.
1:05:10 that hug killed me, he is such a sweet guy, I love seeing people treat strangers with this much heart as if it was the most normal thing to do.
I'm trying to keep my personal feelings out of how I feel about Jada. However, I feel that she is a very broken woman and has not healed. She destroyed her own happiness because she didn't feel worthy or good enough. Love her or loathe her one of the things that I've taken from Steven's podcast is that no amount of fancy clothes, expensive homes, or cars can change who you really are.
I think persons can definitely change or at least learn and do better in certain situations. Its just that Jada can't. She is deeply broken and has a terrible personality to begin with. She is far beyond help. She doesn't even realise she needs to change, and doesn't want to either.
@@BaphumzileTsabedze Funny, in a sense she is helping me heal from my own tragic loss, I had to take a break from this and cry about my best friend. But I did write that she needs to let T go from her life and just make peace with his passing.
I love that Steven reads and refers to specific parts of the book in his interview. 99.9% of interviewers would say, "Yes, I read it and enjoyed/liked it." Full stop. I appreciate his genuine curiosity and compassion in all the episodes/interviews I've watched. Secondly, I love that Jada has chosen to flip the script on the Hollywood Idea of external perfection, as Steven mentioned. Red Table Talk with Jada breaks that wall down, gives space for humans to be human, and all that comes with it. Imagine your entire career living with the pressure to always be perfect, knowing it's not the truth, standing up and saying no more yet having to strike a balance. Bravo to both of you!!
@@mandaqu do you know her? No, you don't so why act like you do and judge this stranger instead of look in the mirror thus heal & work on yourself because clearly you have some healing to do if this person you know nothing about triggers you. 🤷🏽♀️ I wish you much love, peace, happiness & healing in your life.🙏🏽
Bravo, well said and happy to see you are seeing the positive in this great interview because what she's doing takes courage as she knows she will be attacked by so many uninformed, unaware, traumatized, mentally unwell people who need to do some self healing/self reflection. Yet, she's putting herself & her personal life out there to not only heal herself but help heal others so glad you have the common sense to see/understand this. God bless! 🙏🏽❤
She is because she believes that this approach is effective. She is too prideful to go away quietly and heal out of fear. People don't realize the importance of pausing to heal.
And if we are lucky. and have some self-awareness, we work these things out in private, not like a bellowing bullfrog forcing everyone to endure our cacaphony.
She was in a dark place? Jada IS a dark place. Your mind wasn't tricking you, honey. The supposed 'self-hatred' you felt was your conscience trying to alert you to your evil, narcissistic ways. This is sickening to watch. The assumption that we all want to hear her drone on and on about herself - and TUPAC, who is not here to verify her increasingly outlandish statements about him - is repulsive. Poor Will. And you DID cheat on him.
U don't know that she cheated first, will is an a list very famous celeb he obviously had women throwing themselves at him and many nights away from home where, "Noone would know". They clearly came to a decision of being in an open relationship/"staying together for the kids" It had to start with one cheating first, but even then the other could have cheated first but kept it a secret and it became a game of get back. I do see her as starting unnecessary crap and drama, but at the same time I feel for everyone were all trying to figure out life
@@GTFCEO😂you don't have no grounds to accuse or assume will cheated nor did she even make that claim her self but we know what she did with her son friend , no class or consideration or accountability or remorse just disrespect for will and her family to be relevant too ignorant women and little simp boys , will loved her and she knows she is not worthy and hate men pretending she is enlighten 😢just leave will alone and don't touch his money😢facts
Grief is so different and until you have lost someone you loved so dearly with no closure , you will never understand the depths of pain. It’s easy to say “get over it “ because she married someone else doesn’t ease the pain, doesn’t just erase that part of her life. I lost my son 9 yrs ago and his wife is still single …my husband lost his first wife and he still cries it’s been 21 yrs for him. I don’t judge him because there is no time for grief and love doesn’t just die because the person dies it actually gets stronger because your mind needs protection from so much pain. I pray for Jada and her family it’s deep but I commend her for not committing suicide.
You are the first interviewer who helped me understand Jada. She has a frosty, elitist exterior…but through all the “educated” pontification, rationalizations, high brow representations, etc, …I see a wounded, vulnerable human being with a false super ego. I feel compassion for her pain. Thank you for helping me understand.
Exactly! Shes been that person all along! Only one superstar in the family. So; like many other women who’s been overpowered (raped) out of a career, expected to be okay with babies a kitchen and a big house…you fall to the back! Shut up and try to salvage what you can…of YOUR DREAMS/CAREER. Jada wanted to be a blockbuster movie star and Golden Globe award-winning actress. That didn’t mean that she didn’t want those things for her husband but, little did she know she would have to sacrifice her career for someone else’s. So I understand all the great losses in Jada‘s life from Tupac to her best girlfriend to her career. She hasn’t talked much about her career death-hopefully that’ll be another book but I’m pretty sure that’s a big part of her anxiety, her career death! I ♥️ you Jada and I understand. Keep writing ✍🏾 you’re good at it, it’s a natural gift you probably didn’t know you had. I love your honesty and loyalty! That’s my gangsta too! My word is my bond!!!!! I’m small too 5’3” with a peanut head 😊 continue my sista! Much 🙏🏾
We want Will! You know we want to hear his side. A seemingly good man being pushed to the edge by a womans actions who he's in love with is a much more powerful interview for me. I know you can do it, Steven! Lol
Will is broken. He needs a lot of time away from this woman before he can find reality again. Maybe podcasts like this will help him on his journey back, it's probably worth the try. I'm not sure he even knows he is lost yet tho 😞
i find it very hard to believe she isn’t acting manipulative, her speech is slow and controlled, she lingers on words meant to make you feel a certain way, she shakes her head back and forth while saying “honestly” and she speaks with nuance to gauge sympathy it seems, she looks away and immediately watched for a reaction after saying more “troubling” things.
Everyone is disturbed and has their own trauma. U can't escape it. U should not marry when u have not done ur own healing work because u will attract people that will force u to do the healing work. Both her and Will were young, he just got divorced, hurt and wounded and her friends just died and they were both hurt and wounded. So attracted each other and forced each other to heal
I really enjoyed listening to Jada. It helped me to see another side of her that have made to appreciate and understand her better. Now I see why she is the way she is... I pray for her.
Where does he say that Steven is Jesus?😮 What I see is that person sharing with the lost souls about Jesus Christ, there's nothing in that statement it referred to Steven as Jesus 😮😮😮, @@bluewren65
For someone who wasn't with Tupac, she sure likes to invoke his memory. Tupac was engaged to Kidada Jones at the time of his death. Dream on, Jada... ...
I have had exactly the same breakdown, in may car, after taking care for years of my then partner who had had a terrible road accident and had stayed in hospital for over a year, then paralyzed in a wheelchair wheelchair another year ... i helped him survive until one day my body and mind just shut down... for years I have been dealing with anxiety, Panik attacks and chronic fatigue.... slowly getting better but still vulnerable...
I can't even begin to imagine the emotional and physical toll that experience must have taken on you. Caregiving is an immense responsibility, and it's easy to forget to take care of yourself when you're so focused on someone else's well-being. The breakdown you described sounds like a culmination of years of pent-up stress and exhaustion. It's a harsh reminder that we're not invincible, even when we try to be strong for others. I'm glad to hear you're on the path to recovery, even if it's a slow and vulnerable journey. Take all the time you need; healing isn't linear.
This is THE best interview I've ever seen in my entire life (and I've seen plenty). The respectful chemistry these two share as they take us on a profoundly vulnerable journey through Jada's life is moving, beautiful, painful, tender -- all of which gave ME the opportunity to understand and JOIN you in your sharing. Jada I see you. Even though we come from very different backgrounds/life circumstances, I connected with your emotional journey in a way I am still struggling to articulate. I wish Hollywood was not such a crazy place and you were accessible because - girl. The things we could talk about. The articulation of your personal evolution is awe inspiring. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart to you both for showing up that day and giving to us such a profoundly priceless example of self in action. Wow. WOW!
@@exodus134 Hello in Ethiopia! That sounds amazing and interesting! Be safe! I’m in Central California. Meh. ZZzzz.. I’m in a very similar growth cycle and this interview had me laughing, crying and nodding my head yes, yes! I totally get the part about being a zero priority to parents; the existential disappointment of life being what it is (humanity is really exhausting); the chronic state of discontent (and feeling guilty about it!); suicide -- something is asking to die - but not you; heart break being a seed that breaks you open (that line belongs in music by the way!). I could go on and on. I’ve recently been watching this guy on youtube called Quazi Johir. His stuff mostly focuses on his business as his end goal - but so much of what he has to say about the way we think about ourselves is SO spot on! He might spark your mind!
Sociapaths & narcissits don't have heart strings. Every emotion you think you saw from her was fake & practiced over her entire lifetime & used to expertly manipulate & deceive anyone who crosses her path.
We need Will Smith's part to make it a full story. He will probably never be this flippant. So we will never know. We are stuck with a 'professional victim' in Jada.
I have got better things to do, and she has not brought any value to anyone, not her family, not to society. What an absolutely nonsense of a guest. Her kids mental health, her husband's mental health, and everything that she is, looka t her talk, she is a proper sociopath, with so many disorders, she is not inspiring at all. And somehow she is the victim? She has not done anything, any work, anyhting that adds any value to anyone's life, not even her family, what are you talking about! All she is, is a hoe and a drug dealer. she has prolly ruined many innocent lives by supporting drug habits, including her children's.
My summary of this podcast: I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you don't even understand it yourself.
Actually, I think people are giving her way too much attention. Who cares …that’s the problem… she does horrible things and treat people horribly. And we’re worried about figuring out what’s going on in her head. Yeah that’s it. She’s a victim.🤣
@@neltins5308 that’s a victim mentality. I know tons of people have had childhood trauma myself included. God gives you what he gives you. It’s your job to rise above it. But what do we do we glamorize these people excuse them for what they do. That’s not what God wants. He wants everyone to take that and they’re dealt and rise above it to be a role model for people.
By far, one of the best, if not the best, interviewer / podcast host known to me. Every segment I have watched has been heartfelt, meaningful, and full of grace. Thank you for this interview. It showed a side of Jada most would never have known, yet judge according to what they thought was her truth. No one knows another's life experience. Less judgement, more love will save humanity. Prayers for this family, whose lives have been led astray. May they find their way back into the will of our Father, may we all find our way back to Him, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life - in all that life is meant to be. Godspeed ✞🕊
I have to sit with this for aa while. I have very strong opinions regarding this woman. Edit: She is a narcissist and I can't stomach her excuses or behavior at the expense of others. Her children don't deserve her drama. She is toxic.
I am sorry but I am 12 min. in and I am having such trouble believing that a 7-year-old would feel and say "thank you for being honest" to a father who just rejected her! That is HEARTBREAKING!!! It had to be more impactful than she can admit. That one moment in time probably imprinted the unworthy feelings about men.. more than any other relationship. I found this very interesting and insightful. Steven, we love you and Jada I wish you the very best. Prayers. PS...people need to stop being so cruel! We should learn from each other, and support each other.
What an absolutely nonsense of a guest. Her kids mental health, her husband's mental health, and everything that she is, looka t her talk, she is a proper sociopath, with so many disorders, she is not inspiring at all. And somehow she is the victim? She has not done anything, any work, anyhting that adds any value to anyone's life, not even her family, what are you talking about! All she has been is a hoe and a drug dealer. She is a liar, manipulator, cheater, and she is pretty well-dcumented for all this to be backed by evidence. Her family has also spoken about this numerous times. Celebrating her, may just call for self-reflection on the part of those supporting her. She has not brought any value to anyone's life, and in fact, she has gone and destoryed, and she justifies it all by becoming the innocent victim of a tough childhood and bad choices. She takes no responsibility, and randomly goes into moments of grandiosity of owning the world of drugs and being unstoppable. What are you really celebrating or glorifying here? she has prolly ruined many innocent lives by supporting drug habits, including her children's.
My experience is one of the the worst parts of growing with abusive/ neglectful parents is the crazy-making feeling of no adults acknowledging what is happening is wrong. I’m sure it hurt her a lot, but I also believe that it could have been a relief to have the truth acknowledged. My friend said the best day of her life was when she was taken into care. Not because she felt safer, but because she felt validated.
Jada spoke a looooot of truths about marriage and INTERNAL happiness. You gotta make your own damn self happy before expecting your partner to perform some miracle!
I haven't watched the entire podcast, so I was picking and choosing the chapters, and I'm so grateful to have found the moments Jada spoke about when she was suicidal and at a very dark point. It feels like a breath of relief to hear someone speak about their experience and the effects of trauma and being thrown back into society to function and be normal.
I commend you for actually reading the entire book to better inform your questions. I’ve watched a few interviews with Jada on this press run for Worthy and some of the interviewers didn’t read the book which led to cliché questions. You were able to do a deeper dive and provide better context having prepared yourself for this talk. This is how you respect your interviewee’s time and work. Kudos to you.
Why even read her book. Why hand over hard earned money to her. If she actually cared to rectify her idiocy, she would do it without looking for a payout. She’s such a phony. Why do we pay attention to these idiots. There are much more interesting things to do.
Press run for Worthy? How judgemental thine are from your high horse, like you've never made any mistakes or done anything wrong. Here's the stone you threw 🪨
The whole Tupac thing with her is nuts. Not the supposed relationship, but her constant telling of it... always adding more to it, and more intensity to it. She's destroyed Will with it, and viciously put a wedge between her daughter and husband with it. Sickening.
Will Smith is not destroyed. He stands by her and we all need to just accept that. I think Jayda talks about Tupac because she regrets not giving him the time of day in the end. It’s therapeutic for her and guess what? People are eating that up because her sales and publicity are skyrocketing when she shares her experience with Tupac.
"Relationship"? Did you even hear her? They were best friends with ZERO sexual chemistry. So idk why everyone is all up in arms over her just laying in out there. Will stood by her so... not sure what the big deal is
As much as many say her act is staged it is also important to see that behind all that there is pain and no one can really judge that..we r all work in progress...
Agree. People today have been programmed so well as to mindlessly take the bait of the media as well as the comments and opinions of other people as gospel truth. It's as if their cognitive faculties for critical thinking has atrophied. Those same people most likely would not hold not even an ounce of courage to be this vulnerable and courageous before millions of people.
Some people are really lost and not in touch with their souls anymore and thats a reality too, that we need to accept when shown and not faal for their games. The moment one loses touch with their soul, everything becomes a stage and a game to them and you can't entertain them.
Narcissists never committ suicide. They threaten to do so, easily and repeatedly, in order to get their way. Yet they love themselves too much to actually go through with it.
It's rare, but some of them do. Look at Brian Laundry for a recent example, he wrote the note (which was his final "fuck you" to everyone and to make out he was some kinda great person), then offed himself.
Narcissists actually hate themselves. They may have a huge ego, and appear to "love themselves" but you can't love yourself and be a narcissist at the same time.
Stephen is a gifted interviewer. His preparation for this interview was just crispy. You could literally cut the preparation with a knife. Very evident. Also, his empathy and relatableness is incredible. Being able to even go himself to get her tissue & offer a hug (Bobo has good home training 😅) The environment created also being non judgmental and neutral made Jada really open up in a way I have not seen in all her interviews. Big ups to him. Just like Jada, we all have our own fair share of baggages we all struggle with and my prayer for her and for everyone is that May God help us all to become whole and know that he is the solution and the mender of broken hearts. Lovely interview. 🖤🖤🖤
I was thinking the same thing the other interview i had seen snippets of just felt sensationalised.. but I knew this would be a great in-depth, about the subject, not trying to be click bate, interview…
Great interview! Didn’t know about this channel or Jada’s history and she definitely came across much more human than she’s been allowed to be in the usual media. You are a great interviewer, Steve. Mixing the right amount of vulnerability and genuineness with insight and empathy. Will definitely watch more of your content.
She uses therapy not as a means to get better, but as her parachute to willingly do horrible things to other people, then shifts all the blame, guilt, humiliation onto them (the person who she initially hurt). After step one is accomplished she then becomes the perceived victim who "survived" the trauma (which she caused) and overly glorifies her recovery process to make it seem that it was a inspirational journey of self growth for her. She is the perpetrator, who uses peoples forgiveness as a way to manipulate them.
ANd breaks her marital vows with her own son's best friend SICK! Poor WILL, he fell for her manipulation tactics when he was young--- poor guy Thats Who I will always feel sorry for and her son who prob still has nightmares about his Mom having romantic thought of young men.
@@jasonosunkoyamost narcissists won't even go to therapy. They think they are infallible. I suspect Jada only ended up going cos it's very in amongst the in crowd 🙄 she definitely weaponises therapy
Wow. Astute about ability and perhaps drive to manipulate for power though far far too one sided. Will wanted/wants to “Rule the World” oh but that is ok and healthy and he is a victim? I think they were both/are both ambitious to a fault (society enables that so not saying they are to blame…we create celebrity) and maybe her more so still as she has perhaps not been humbled as maybe, maybe, maybe Will has been after a very public very bad mistake? She just “Wanted to look into his eyes” really? Cause she admits early on to being ambitious herself though it was like an aside not like taking authentic inventory and accountability…she liked Will’s ability to fit in anywhere which is liking a means to an end and power not a description that speaks to who the man is his strengths and concomitant vulnerabilities.
@@peaceemezue I wish I could thumbs up your comment at least 3 times. Everyone has had trauma. Oh poor you, little rich girl who got a rich husband to put you in the spotlight. Ungrateful person. Shame on her. She is gross.
That moment where you hugged Jada was such a beautiful, human interaction that we don't see in interviews with celebs. THANK YOU for always approaching each interview with grace, love, thoughtfulness and kindness. 💜
Healing yourself is a messy journey. I hope this interview will help those who are on that journey to heal themselves. Because this story of healing is playing out publicly. People are taking sides of who is right and wrong. In the 90's we had no tools to help us with our suicidal thoughts. I hope Jada's story will help someone out there to find the healing they need. Steven you sat in the mud with Jada for a while 🙌🏼 and that is a sign that you've showed up for this conversation with unconditional love, acceptance and non-judgement.
😢its is so sad how these women want to always make excuses for each other never accountable assuming will probably cheated when not even jada accusse him of that but she admitted she cheated with a boy her sons friend becuase as we see most women dont accept the truth and facts and accountability 😢most women are ungrateful ,and its not the most evil or as evil as jada is as to when will smacked chris,who did try to sexually persue his wife while having marriage problems and a so called friend didnt think how you would feel so why should he care about chris being slapped its the least he could do😢❤dont be hard on jada dont be hard on ,how about that
@@thelovepodcastnetwork4375 You need help, Sir. All these posts of the same exact comment, and not once did you think to proofread and use proper spelling and punctuation. Smh
Ya'll don't know this damn lady. Go deal with your own issues. Will is a grown ass man if he did not want to be married he could permanently on paper Divorce Jada. Ya'll have no idea what this man did to Jada. There have been multiple women who will was with before August and Jada
She is a professional victim. When she talks she knows all the answers like she the patient and the therapist. This is why Will is still with her. He thinks he's her protector even if he's not her husband.
I almost did not watch this because social media has ripped this woman to shreds but I am glad I got past the preconceptions to listen with an open mind. There’s a deep world of hurt here that explains a lot. Beautiful moment of compassion, Steven - you touched all of our hearts.
Jada reminds me of my wife, no not her money or fame, but her mental health. Her mannerisms attitude behavior and comportment seem familiar. I am not the only person who is being abused, yes this is female abuse against males.
It's called acting and made to entertain the feeble-minded and gullible audience. This type of approach will captivate the viewer and make them feel intimately connected, involved and sympathetic.

That was an amazing interview. Jada, you are an incredible human being. I just had no idea how authentic and loving a person you were. May God bless you throughout your life with his joy and peace. My prayers are with you. And my kind thoughts go out to you.
Whenever someone is getting a lot of vitriol from the public, the little voice inside me whispers send them love, if this resonates with you, send Jada Pinkett love. The pain in her eyes say it all. Great interview! We are all human and fall short of the glory someday somehow❤️
And they are living unapologetically themselves and society is angry that they were able to, dear to break out of the box that they have put you in, the box that they themselves can’t get out of it due to fear of being ostracized by society the way they have ostracize and stigmatize her and anyone like her.
Such good advice - send them love. I wish I could remember to do that all the time, every moment of every day. Easy to do when you're sitting in front of the screen, and there's time and space to notice the pain in Jada's eyes. Not easy when you're right in front of them, as their employee or husband or daughter. A life's work, for sure.
this woman seems like a psychopath to me. I feel sorry for Will Smith. Will, please escape from her. Please live a happy life with someone who loves you.
I understand, you’re so upset that one of our favorite interviewers would put out content from such a detrimental personality. I was looking for something other than the dislike button 😂
Update: 3768 like vs 9467 dislike So, yes, this must be definitely good engagement at ~75k views and 1.6k comments, just not the positive publicity kind.
I so appreciate your humility and the gift you have for interviews. I also didn't know anything about Jada Pinkett Smith, and so appreciate all she shared, her authenticity, and vulnerability. I'm the secret daughter of a priest who was a multi-millionaire when he died and who sexually and ritually abused me when I was a little girl. Some of the issues you address and the manner in which you address them, give me faith, strength and courage, especially as I ready myself to share more of my story publicly. Thank you! You are a treasure. Your parents must be proud!
She’s so satisfied with herself for always painting herself as a victim. The dynamic is always how she has been victimized and how mature she was about it and “overcame” it. But somehow she always brings it up lol
I wonder if willow or the other child will be interviewing to sell a book of how traumatized they are for having such upside down inside down and twisted parents they had/have??
Exactly - How do you reform as a criminal? You simply redefine what a ciminal is.. and change that law..... in order for her not to be seen as the cheater... she now invents this story of them not being together. So, now she is the victim. If this host or others can't recognize a narcissist then its a real shame. And women will sympathize with her as no woman wants to take responsibility for cheating - its always someone else's fault.... (anyone with half a brain can see how hurt Will Smith was in that red table talk and how evasive she was - that's not a woman who had sex when they were on a break, thats a woman who had an affair) Why can't interviewers call her out or even ask her 'difficult' questions... ???
I understand the timing and strategy of this interview and I'm also honored to be able to get a birdseye view of how generational trauma impacted her life. If you could look past the supposed 'hatred' that you think you have of her and listen, this was so valuable. Thank you Steven.
I actually dont think she's fake, but like she's admitted herself she has a lot of unhealed trauma. I just don't think people are used to someone's vulnerability, emotions and trauma being televised. A lot of time when we traumatised, we re-live pain over and.over because its normal. I think once she let's go of Tupac and emotionally and mentally puts him to rest, she will find a lot of freedom but its clear how they ended is probably stopping her doing that. Also, back to Will. Its very clear Will wasn't her type and sometimes when you force something you can end up self-sabotaging. She's doing it over and over again televised. Another thing, that people aren't used to seeing. But we are all human, everyone's self-sabotaging at some point but we aren't televised doing it😅
Agree, many people never experienced such real love without sx, so they are confused and against it. Others see their truth in her words have feel convicted. While others have had this experience and are able to understand it and let it be her story her truth without ridicule.
Awwwww, she is the victim now? the world needs to stop celebrating narcissists like her watch her speak, even a psychoanalysis of the most shallow sort would reveal that she must not be listened to and definitely not put ona pedestal
Unfortunately in these days, the more you can show how much of a victim you are, the more social scores you earn. Its weird. The days of "Hey! buckle up and try again" is gone. That is considered to be toxic advice these days
What an absolutely nonsense of a guest. Her kids mental health, her husband's mental health, and everything that she is, looka t her talk, she is a proper sociopath, with so many disorders, she is not inspiring at all. And somehow she is the victim? She has not done anything, any work, anyhting that adds any value to anyone's life, not even her family, what are you talking about! All she has been is a hoe and a drug dealer. She is a liar, manipulator, cheater, and she is pretty well-dcumented for all this to be backed by evidence. Her family has also spoken about this numerous times. Celebrating her, may just call for self-reflection on the part of those supporting her. She has not brought any value to anyone's life, and in fact, she has gone and destoryed, and she justifies it all by becoming the innocent victim of a tough childhood and bad choices. She takes no responsibility, and randomly goes into moments of grandiosity of owning the world of drugs and being unstoppable. What are you really celebrating or glorifying here? she has prolly ruined many innocent lives by supporting drug habits, including her children's.@@QuirkyQubits
So narcicist should be shunned, put in a cave and locked away? Same with autism and down syndrome people? So many of you are like, I got it, She's a Narcicist! Okay, and what? Expand on that, and how it effects you. It's like someone going to the special Olympics and making a video going Hey Guys! I Figured it out! these athletes are mentally challenged!" U look like the idiot
Jada is a vey intelligent person, and within her formative years of life she used that intelligence to out smart others in the streets...she still has the mindset of wanting to come out on top in all situations and this stops her from being authentic and relatable...I like and feel for her and hope she finds peace and healing and only the truth will set her free.
After this interview/conversation and hearing Jada talk I cant call her a narcissist because she is able to open up and be honest regardless how embarrassing or hard it is and narcs dont really do that…. Shes being very vulnerable and real which is refreshing to see because thats how everyone should be to not make life more complicated than it already is.
Amazing how her confession that she and Will have been separated for years comes out just when she needs publicity for her book. She is such a narcissist using anyone and anything to get attention to herself. All these years she portrayed herself as a saint now shes telling everyone shes a criminal, cheater etc the crying deserved an Oscar. Feel nothing for this fake fool.
It’s a revision of history, classic narc tactic. Gets her publicity for her book plus makes her look a little less bad regarding her “entanglement”, i.e., AFFAIR with the friend of her son. This woman has no respect for boundaries.
The narcissist word has been thrown around so much I think, she sharing her story and being sincere and genuine. Even in her Red table talk show she s alwsy been so raw n honest. Yes she selling her book but i don't understand hate towards her tbh.
@@sarabennett6295 i doubt thats true Tupac n Jada were extremely close and she was asked about it and then she responded.Keep in mind that Tupac was not some normal dude.
I'm so happy to see Jada, I had the privilege of hanging out with her once and I was mesmerized by her. Not just her stunning physical beauty in person, but her warm, kind energy and spirit was beautiful. Nothing felt phony or pretentious about her. I've been around many celebrities, but her humble, happy, welcoming spirit made me want to be a better person. I'll never forget that experience, it had a profound impact on me. I love that she's so wise and unapologetically authentic and open to life. Her haters are envious of that and profoundly unaware of themselves. I admire Jada deeply, and always will❣
As a member of the CRA (Comment Reading Association), I'm here only to read comments. Please keep the comments short and simple. I do appreciate your typing efforts. Also please be careful for your spellings Thank you and have a great day!
Good job my friend! I had NO interested in listening to Jada had to say but when I saw her on your show I tuned in just to watch for few minutes and here I am at 2:02 am after finished watching the whole interview. You're amazing in what you do, God bless!!!
This interview I just started out of curiosity , having always been intrigued with Jada, her only one on the planet beauty, her Presence, and I ended up crying, listening to every word, going back to rehear and better understand, better grasp, and to be able to feel....thank you both. Thank you dear Jada for your unfeigned emotional honesty....thank you Steven once again. I feel privileged to have "been in the room". from Linda , 78 yr old white woman.
I liked the interview and understand her better than I did before. People are really hard on her, without understanding it takes two to make or break a marriage. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors! Will made his own choices and so did she.
I have always viewed the arrangement of "marriage" to be literally hell on earth. I have no idea how couples pull it off year after tiresome year. These two really seemed to both give it their best effort for all the years I've seen them on public display. Definitely not "soul mates" but they really seemed to support each other well.
THIS. Ppl need a villain & a victim & its too easy to hate Jada. Ppl act like Will sits in a corner crying over his wife while he is on month long vacays with his sides. I distrust ppl who are more concerned with crafting a image of perfection then actually striving to be better & that is what Will does. Nobody knows what goes on in a marriage but it takes 2 toxic ppl to remain in dysfunction.
Great interview! So candid and personal. I learned a lot about her. You have such a gift for letting people open up without getting in the way. I so enjoy your podcast!
I managed to finish watching this video (I had to take several breaks though) and I have to admit its mentally draining listening to this person continuously moan about how life has been difficult to them. Mind you this is a well to do person whom life has dealt a hand that places them within the top 5% of successful people in the world. It was a deluge of "poor me" through out.
Money can't buy happiness! She didn't say anything bad about her husband. She said her husband gave her the world! She needed to find happiness. Tupac was her good friend in her youth. She took her steps to become successful despite her childhood which is honorable. Her and Will love eachother!❤
You should take a break from this because clearly you've built up such a hate for her, nothing she says will resonate. Please go find somethng joyful and skip anything you see about her in the future. I'm concerned for some of you all's well being.
@@bettymedley2777 If your man keeps going on and on about their ex girlfriend, how good they were etc how will that make you feel? What if he admits he just slept with your daughter's best friend?
Jada not the monster social media has made her out to be. It’s evident from watching this that the truth is almost always somewhere in between. I wish her continued healing and health.
You are phenomenal interviewer! I absolutely love the questions you ask and you dive in with a unbiased approach and allow a safe space for not only the one being interviewed but for your audience to form their own opinion. Cheers and well done!
Yeah, but what do you really think of Jada? Is she human excrement deficated into the shape of a woman? Is she strong and brave for banging her sons friend. Is she a hero and example to all women for destroying her marriage and traumatizing her husband and children wile taking no accountability for her own actions? You go girl! Go get that bag? Is that the take away?
I have been riding on the hate Jada train for a while now, not anymore. She is smart and so relatable. And self aware. I think I'm jumping off the train. Good interview.
Thank you for getting this interview done. The ones who have the intellectual maturity will be open to listen and get some form of insight whether they disagree with Jada or not. Blessed
I love this comment "have the intellectual maturity to listen to...... "..... Maybe you should listen to Bernie Madoff with the same mindset. I'm sure he had a reason to carelessly destroy people's lives too..... This woman has unapologetically destroyed her husbands life and career and taken no accountability for that or even apologized. Horrible human being.
@@laurenbythesea We're not talking about disagreeing on the color of wall paint. Jada doesn't care about her husband. These are disagreements on principals, ethics and morals and Jada has none. And she's becoming a model for other people to behave horribly towards their loved ones and then just excuse it with whatever means necessary to victimize oneself. You are soft brain.
@@nthusiastt Maybe you should take the time to actually read his book and get insight on the behavior he had similar to his wife. Then you will understand instead of blindly being upset.
What about Will's own actions? She did not know he was walking up there to slap Chris for real. Will is responsible. Even if he was offended on behalf of his wife, he could have chosen a different way to handle it.
Maybe Will’s ambition ruined his own career and reputation (though i don’t think that will be the outcome ultimately) and perhaps Jada and Will have both been too ambitious; perhaps that was his attraction to her…remember he picked her. She talks about him wanting to “Rule the World” …whoa…really? Other things I’ve included in comments here suggest her attraction to him was largely as a partner in ambition but for him too.
Steven, I keep trying to figure out what it is exactly that makes you and you interviewing style so profound; I don't know that I have, but this I do know, you listen with your heart and that is so, so impactful, safe and healing all in one. Jada, gosh, thank you for your truth and for your vulnerability. So much of what you shared resonated deeply. "I'm still working out my relationship with grief." "Heartbreak breaks you open...you can go into this deep wells of darkness or you can go into this deep wells of light...use heartbreak, discontent pain to search for the bright light and beautiful blessings in them." Brilliant interview!!!!❤
I enjoy interviews that dig into the guest’s character…more than focusing on salacious topics (which mostly reads as meaningless chatter; which won’t be remembered or revisited). Kudos for conducting a meaningful discussion. And, while I don’t find Jada relatable, I do respect her talent. Seeing this side of her helped me view her in a more meaningful way. Thank you for helping me find humanity in her life and what has come from her life’s experiences. Thank you for helping me, and others, see her and Tupac and Will as REAL people. They “feel”, just as we all do. We can so easily forget that and dismiss them as “rich people”. They’re people. They hurt. They too are affected by their past too. Thanks again, so much for the reminder. You never disappoint!
Powerful insights from Jada, simply being human. Talking about suicide. "Something needs to die-its not you!" POWERFUL stuff! What a message. Absolutely love these interviews with Steven. I'm loving the intelligent and informative content from influential people. x
Admittedly, this interview with Jada redefined my perception, and of course my opinion of her. The human story, the unfolding phases of her life resonate with so many of us. The celebrity media dogma diminish the underlying truth in most instances. Brilliant interview Steven.
Thank you Steven. This was one of your most powerful interviews that served to touch me in ways that turned the mirror back on my self. Great job doing your own healing and learning on the fly. I could see your wheels turning as it pertains to your own relationship and how you now see your self. Awesome.
I read Will’s book so when the slap happened, I understood it on more than a surface level so I partially understand what Jada meant when she said the slap wasn’t about her. And I’ll read her book, too. We need to have much more compassion for each other because I KNOW if just the snap shots of my bad decisions and mistakes were public for everyone to judge, I’d be hated too. But if you read my life in full, you’d have better context- just like my friends and family who have always stood by me. I challenge everyone judging to look inward and do the same. What are you ashamed of? What decisions would you rather take to your grave than reveal? Now think about them being public for millions to judge without knowing who you actually are as a person. Would we villainize you, too?
I had read Will's book before the Oscar slap and I saw how the slap happened. It was not right but, given the therapeutic work that Will was exploring at the time ( his helplessness over his father's physical abuse of his mother) I totally saw that slap coming. If you were at the family barbecue, Do you really think you could snap on Aunt Edna's bald head without a beat down coming your way???
She has created little mini me's. Her daughter is massively involved in her marriage and she is comfortable bashing her dad and backing her mother. Learned behaviour. That man worked hard to give them all what they got ungrateful brats the lot of them
This was an unexpected interview. Thank you for humanizing Jada and allowing me to see another side. I related to a lot that she had to say, I hope she finds peace and healing.
This is NOT the whole story and truth. Jada continues to purport a false narrative that protects Will, and she is willing to play the villain when she is indeed the victim in the marriage. Her book only scratches the surface of the pain and suffering she has endured to be Will’s wife and allow him to live his best life! Despite us still not getting the whole story, this interview delved deeply beyond the complex layers and allowed us to see Jada as a multidimensional person. Great job to the interviewer. You were patient. You were kind. You were empathetic. You were nonjudgmental. You showed godly love.
Jada and Will Smith have a business relationship. That is what Jada wanted. Just because it didn’t work out for her, I don’t think that’s a reason to make it his fault.
@@kkw-pal1178 as you saw in my comment written earlier, I wholeheartedly agree. Will is the one with the power and influence, because of his financial and social status. I observed early on how Will does NOT protect Jada and, he is quickly to place the blame on her. Will is not a wimpy, passive man who is bring manipulated by his wife. He is and has been doing as he pleases under the guise of having a wife who is unappreciative, opinionated, and manipulative, and vindictive. While the truth is that Jada is unhappy, because she has to pretend, turn her head and act as though her marriage is solid and she doesn’t care if Will is with other people, because she is going her own thing. She does not want yo go her own thing. She wants yo share her life with her husband, but he has chosen to live a double life and make it look as though she is the problem. So, that slap in the face looked like a protective husband, but it was a response triggered by public embarrassment, because Will is protective of his public image, not his wife.
@@NatalieBrown-z7e I didn't read her book and know nothing, so I hope you don't mind my asking. Did she not know who he was before having children with him?
Jada seems to be finding herself and loving herself. It’s never too late and I wish her the best on her soul’s journey. If we could all consistently see ourselves through Creator’s eyes and how infinitely loved we are, our problems would disappear.
Great job with this interview, honestly my perception of her has changed. Thank you for opening my mind and not letting the media just shape our views of people. Keep up the excellent work!

You made a bad choice to interview this toxic waste that portrays itself as a human.
Will Smith>> should’ve interviewed someone with an actual career, talent and legacy that’s loved by the world. Instead of Ms Alopecia
@@sreedevi3652 she is a toxic snake
I love the awkward silences the interviewer allowed because it pulls more from Jada. It's a great listening tactic most people should utilize because it allows the person communicating to go more in depth. Great job!
You just put into words what I also perceived and felt. Thank you
You compliment people for selling you junk even better?
That's taught in counselling skills- taught how to work with silence and be comfortable in it. Its often a gateway to much more...
i guess she feels this interview excuses herself egging on her hubbies slap.
Diane sawyer uses it really well in her interviews.
I’ve never heard Jada apologies for her wrong doings publicly. It’s all about her, her hurt and her pain her healing. What about the people she has hurt .
Maybe she needs that first before she can apologize. She has felt the need to protect herself for a long time so I would assume she has a different level of need to be understood before she can apologize
She is a narcissist. She doesn’t care about anything but herself. I usually love Steve’s interviews. He ridi his job but when you have a liar snake in front of you who is putting up a performance I don’t know… she comes out as so unauthentic no matter how much she tries. In fact she hasn’t won any Oscars that I remember of… but if I remeber well her “husband” has. And she managed to ruin that for him too
Yup never have I heard an apology it’s all about her
Who did she hurt wicked. I am so sick of you hateful people just hating on JADA.
@@salyahlifecoach1686 that's what I'm trying to understand. Who did she hurt?
If my wife was talking about how miserable she was with me remixing it 100 ways and bragging about a dead rapper proposed to me, I'd not only divorce, I'd go as far away as possible from such a disturbed and dangerous person.
That's because you're a petty, insecure person who thinks it's all about you.
I doubt he even proposed. It's Will's own fault at this point.
It sounds like Timberland talking about young Aaliyah
I can’t even believe what I just watched. She is so manipulative and full of drama. Will should have know better. Gaslighting him

Just that hug! 😢 Stephen, this is what we've been missing in interviews with celebs - instead of wanting something out of them, you understand its an exchange of life experiences. Humanity, empathy and real connection is what makes this such an incredible episode!
Yes, she is a human being and a vulnerable woman first and foremost.
To me that was awkward as h3ll. She was fishing.
@@akesptlol.
Totally.
@@akespt Yeah, you’re obviously not well versed in vulnerability. It’s not a Prescribed Response. Non-verbal communication plays a large part in broadcasting our needs. Only a Luddite acts like they know anything about vulnerability and condemns the expression of it.
This is my first time listening to this podcast. This guy is a fantastic interviewer. A masterful conversationalist!
Totally agreed. I can see he has a high level of awareness and knowledge of Psychology.
@@Talipoopawareness and knowledge of psychology...really quite interesting....he dropped out of university in the 1st year,
@@engelgirl7360 Interesting you said that because I know people who haven't been to a university and have a better understanding of human thought than people who have their Phd in psychology. Attending a university does not equate to a person being competent in human interaction.
Yeah, I watch a ton of his stuff and he's literally the best I've seen. Hands down
Where ya been? Life changing stories
Steven Bartlett, you did a FANTASTIC job interviewing Jada Pinkett Smith. I love how you held space for her with neutrality so she felt safe to share what she wanted to share. And the hug you gave her was tremendous. Bravo to you!!
The part that really struck me was, I'm paraphrasing: "People who have suicidal thoughts do not truly want to die, but they want a part of them to die." I will think about this for a long time, I have a totally new perspective on this particular topic.
Damn.. that part.
They want the pain to stop. It’s magnified to a point where it overshadows everything else in life, the struggle to find worth in continuing to go on. They just want that pain to stop.
That part! That was profound. Thanks for quoting it!
It differs from person to person. However, this resonates with me. I also found it helpful when I realized I didn’t have the language to describe the immense pain. Saying I’m really hurting wasn’t enough, to closest thing to what I was feeling was to say I was suicidal, however in therapy I realized, that I just didn’t have the language. People tend to not be that helpful/supportive unless you are in dire need. But we should have a way to communicate and get support before it gets to that point.
@@tasibhothat’s what the original comment was implying
"You can deal with it, or it will deal with you." Excellent interview, so much compassion and care from him while holding space for her to dig deep. So much respect for them both.
Last week, Gabor mate talked about how people behave when they’ve experienced trauma, especially childhood trauma it’s called trauma response. I could be wrong, but that’s what I see -- is jada’s trauma release. The way she behaved her whole life was a response to her not feeling loved, and now she’s unraveling it to the best of her ability. Great interview, I have compassion for her, and all of us who have been traumatized in childhood. May we all heal by hearing each others’s stories.
It is like listening to my narcissistic father all over again, it is exhausting. I don’t know if people realize what a torture it is to live with someone like that. They are always right, they are the only once with wisdom, there is zero accountability, nothing is their fault. Please stop giving this woman a platform to speak, she should not be giving advice to anyone. She is delusional.
You said it. Neurotic, self indulgent, egotistical, narcissistic, phony and DUMB.
TOO MUCH MONEY. America over-rewards talentless idiots.
Exactly 💯
Thank you 👏🏼
Absolutely delusional!
I agree with you she is delusional!
Let's take a moment to praise Steven for becoming one of the best interviewers in the world! Amazing
Yes, he was very good.
His attentive, listening skills and thoughtful questions are top notch among all the interview platforms I watch. Emotionally intelligent man.
Way better better interviewer than Joe "Meathead/Broscience" Rogan
his laugh sounded like Will
Honestly, I love this guy. He can talk to anyone and brings out so much. I still do not like this woman, but I needed to hear her story. She caused as much pain as she experienced. I can see her being one scary witch on the playground and even in a place with many. It's another world, but how we respond to the negatives in life is what Character is made of, and I don't like hers. Superficial and selfish and needy for attention. Yuck.
1:05:10 that hug killed me, he is such a sweet guy, I love seeing people treat strangers with this much heart as if it was the most normal thing to do.
why'd he kiss tho?
beautiful hug
I'm trying to keep my personal feelings out of how I feel about Jada. However, I feel that she is a very broken woman and has not healed. She destroyed her own happiness because she didn't feel worthy or good enough. Love her or loathe her one of the things that I've taken from Steven's podcast is that no amount of fancy clothes, expensive homes, or cars can change who you really are.
I think persons can definitely change or at least learn and do better in certain situations. Its just that Jada can't. She is deeply broken and has a terrible personality to begin with. She is far beyond help. She doesn't even realise she needs to change, and doesn't want to either.
Brutally honest, and she is telling her story.
@@BaphumzileTsabedze honest? Jada Pinkett Smith? Lol
No she's just a narcistic B
@@BaphumzileTsabedze Funny, in a sense she is helping me heal from my own tragic loss, I had to take a break from this and cry about my best friend. But I did write that she needs to let T go from her life and just make peace with his passing.
I love that Steven reads and refers to specific parts of the book in his interview. 99.9% of interviewers would say, "Yes, I read it and enjoyed/liked it." Full stop. I appreciate his genuine curiosity and compassion in all the episodes/interviews I've watched. Secondly, I love that Jada has chosen to flip the script on the Hollywood Idea of external perfection, as Steven mentioned. Red Table Talk with Jada breaks that wall down, gives space for humans to be human, and all that comes with it. Imagine your entire career living with the pressure to always be perfect, knowing it's not the truth, standing up and saying no more yet having to strike a balance. Bravo to both of you!!
Deary me … surely you don’t believe that about Jada
She’s a massive phoney
@@mandaqu do you know her? No, you don't so why act like you do and judge this stranger instead of look in the mirror thus heal & work on yourself because clearly you have some healing to do if this person you know nothing about triggers you. 🤷🏽♀️

Bravo, well said and happy to see you are seeing the positive in this great interview because what she's doing takes courage as she knows she will be attacked by so many uninformed, unaware, traumatized, mentally unwell people who need to do some self healing/self reflection. Yet, she's putting herself & her personal life out there to not only heal herself but help heal others so glad you have the common sense to see/understand this. God bless! 🙏🏽❤

I still can't shake the gut feeling that Jada is very manipulative.
You aint wrong, I was married to someone just like her and once you see it in someone... you cant unsee it in others
a lot has come out about her lies, i cant believe how much support she is still getting.
She is because she believes that this approach is effective. She is too prideful to go away quietly and heal out of fear. People don't realize the importance of pausing to heal.
I agree, the fact that she smashed her sons friend proves that, she was probably grooming the kid when he used to come over for slumber parties.
You've been programmed
This interview proves that you not only should not, but could not judge anyone. We’re ALL broken and just trying to get through this life.

She was in a dark place? Jada IS a dark place. Your mind wasn't tricking you, honey. The supposed 'self-hatred' you felt was your conscience trying to alert you to your evil, narcissistic ways. This is sickening to watch. The assumption that we all want to hear her drone on and on about herself - and TUPAC, who is not here to verify her increasingly outlandish statements about him - is repulsive. Poor Will. And you DID cheat on him.
U don't know that she cheated first, will is an a list very famous celeb he obviously had women throwing themselves at him and many nights away from home where, "Noone would know". They clearly came to a decision of being in an open relationship/"staying together for the kids" It had to start with one cheating first, but even then the other could have cheated first but kept it a secret and it became a game of get back. I do see her as starting unnecessary crap and drama, but at the same time I feel for everyone were all trying to figure out life
lol
Thank you! Thank you ! I hate her! Damn i am sontired to see her everywhere!
so well said. you nailed it
@@GTFCEO😂you don't have no grounds to accuse or assume will cheated nor did she even make that claim her self but we know what she did with her son friend , no class or consideration or accountability or remorse just disrespect for will and her family to be relevant too ignorant women and little simp boys , will loved her and she knows she is not worthy and hate men pretending she is enlighten 😢just leave will alone and don't touch his money😢facts
Grief is so different and until you have lost someone you loved so dearly with no closure , you will never understand the depths of pain. It’s easy to say “get over it “ because she married someone else doesn’t ease the pain, doesn’t just erase that part of her life. I lost my son 9 yrs ago and his wife is still single …my husband lost his first wife and he still cries it’s been 21 yrs for him. I don’t judge him because there is no time for grief and love doesn’t just die because the person dies it actually gets stronger because your mind needs protection from so much pain. I pray for Jada and her family it’s deep but I commend her for not committing suicide.
She was never going to. She’s phoney
You are the first interviewer who helped me understand Jada. She has a frosty, elitist exterior…but through all the “educated” pontification, rationalizations, high brow representations, etc, …I see a wounded, vulnerable human being with a false super ego. I feel compassion for her pain. Thank you for helping me understand.
Exactly! Shes been that person all along! Only one superstar in the family. So; like many other women who’s been overpowered (raped) out of a career, expected to be okay with babies a kitchen and a big house…you fall to the back!
Shut up and try to salvage what you can…of YOUR DREAMS/CAREER.
Jada wanted to be a blockbuster movie star and Golden Globe award-winning actress. That didn’t mean that she didn’t want those things for her husband but, little did she know she would have to sacrifice her career for someone else’s.
So I understand all the great losses in Jada‘s life from Tupac to her best girlfriend to her career. She hasn’t talked much about her career death-hopefully that’ll be another book but I’m pretty sure that’s a big part of her anxiety, her career death!
I ♥️ you Jada and I understand. Keep writing ✍🏾 you’re good at it, it’s a natural gift you probably didn’t know you had. I love your honesty and loyalty! That’s my gangsta too! My word is my bond!!!!!

We want Will! You know we want to hear his side. A seemingly good man being pushed to the edge by a womans actions who he's in love with is a much more powerful interview for me. I know you can do it, Steven! Lol
Exactly ! He brought on the wrong person 🥲
Will is broken. He needs a lot of time away from this woman before he can find reality again. Maybe podcasts like this will help him on his journey back, it's probably worth the try. I'm not sure he even knows he is lost yet tho 😞
Will is not going to say anything because he's broken & he sure won't do anything to further stain his wife's image.
I'd love to see will Smith too but in time. He needs time to heal a little. If anyone can get him it's you! What a wholesome interview that would be.
Subscribe so that Steven has the numbers to get Will on!
😂
i find it very hard to believe she isn’t acting manipulative, her speech is slow and controlled, she lingers on words meant to make you feel a certain way, she shakes her head back and forth while saying “honestly” and she speaks with nuance to gauge sympathy it seems, she looks away and immediately watched for a reaction after saying more “troubling” things.
It’s a save Will Smith’s career PR tour.
Yup body language doesn't lie.
Actions speak louder than words is applicable here too.
Her rub of the nose says it all
@@bigbawsdogg doesn't it just !!!!
@@bigbawsdogg She IS an actress, at the end of the day. This is an Oscar worthy performance 🎭
And this why boys and girls, you don't want to marry a disturbed person.
🙏🏼 amen
Everyone is disturbed and has their own trauma. U can't escape it. U should not marry when u have not done ur own healing work because u will attract people that will force u to do the healing work. Both her and Will were young, he just got divorced, hurt and wounded and her friends just died and they were both hurt and wounded. So attracted each other and forced each other to heal

Or dural from virtua fighter.
way to throw all the disturbed people under the bus who manage to behave themselves. more like this is why you dont want to date a lying manipulator
I really enjoyed listening to Jada. It helped me to see another side of her that have made to appreciate and understand her better. Now I see why she is the way she is...
I pray for her.
It is great that you pray for her ! Stay well.

The way she talks about tupac with such passion & then talks about her husband like he was just basic says it all!
She is a witch.
It's like she hates him
You should re-watch it without your prejudices. She is not painting him as you say.
i dont like that
For someone who wasn't with Tupac, she sure likes to invoke his memory. Tupac was engaged to Kidada Jones at the time of his death. Dream on, Jada...
...
I have had exactly the same breakdown, in may car, after taking care for years of my then partner who had had a terrible road accident and had stayed in hospital for over a year, then paralyzed in a wheelchair wheelchair another year ... i helped him survive until one day my body and mind just shut down... for years I have been dealing with anxiety, Panik attacks and chronic fatigue.... slowly getting better but still vulnerable...
I can't even begin to imagine the emotional and physical toll that experience must have taken on you. Caregiving is an immense responsibility, and it's easy to forget to take care of yourself when you're so focused on someone else's well-being. The breakdown you described sounds like a culmination of years of pent-up stress and exhaustion. It's a harsh reminder that we're not invincible, even when we try to be strong for others. I'm glad to hear you're on the path to recovery, even if it's a slow and vulnerable journey. Take all the time you need; healing isn't linear.
This is THE best interview I've ever seen in my entire life (and I've seen plenty). The respectful chemistry these two share as they take us on a profoundly vulnerable journey through Jada's life is moving, beautiful, painful, tender -- all of which gave ME the opportunity to understand and JOIN you in your sharing. Jada I see you. Even though we come from very different backgrounds/life circumstances, I connected with your emotional journey in a way I am still struggling to articulate. I wish Hollywood was not such a crazy place and you were accessible because - girl. The things we could talk about. The articulation of your personal evolution is awe inspiring. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart to you both for showing up that day and giving to us such a profoundly priceless example of self in action. Wow. WOW!
Aaaw! and I see you too, brother. Greetings from Ethiopia.🖐🏾 I just finished rewatching this.. and sobbing while I process what I have just listened!
@@exodus134
Hello in Ethiopia! That sounds amazing and interesting! Be safe!
I’m in Central California. Meh. ZZzzz..
I’m in a very similar growth cycle and this interview had me laughing, crying and nodding my head yes, yes! I totally get the part about being a zero priority to parents; the existential disappointment of life being what it is (humanity is really exhausting); the chronic state of discontent (and feeling guilty about it!); suicide -- something is asking to die - but not you; heart break being a seed that breaks you open (that line belongs in music by the way!). I could go on and on. I’ve recently been watching this guy on youtube called Quazi Johir. His stuff mostly focuses on his business as his end goal - but so much of what he has to say about the way we think about ourselves is SO spot on! He might spark your mind!
Mannn….this was such a great interview. He really pulled on Jada’s heart strings. He asked some really good questions and he held space with her.
Sociapaths & narcissits don't have heart strings. Every emotion you think you saw from her was fake & practiced over her entire lifetime & used to expertly manipulate & deceive anyone who crosses her path.
Yessss@
I’m here to just listen and always remember that we never know the full story so I’ll just listen.
We need Will Smith's part to make it a full story. He will probably never be this flippant. So we will never know. We are stuck with a 'professional victim' in Jada.
I have got better things to do, and she has not brought any value to anyone, not her family, not to society.
What an absolutely nonsense of a guest.
Her kids mental health, her husband's mental health, and everything that she is, looka t her talk, she is a proper sociopath, with so many disorders, she is not inspiring at all. And somehow she is the victim?
She has not done anything, any work, anyhting that adds any value to anyone's life, not even her family, what are you talking about!
All she is, is a hoe and a drug dealer.
she has prolly ruined many innocent lives by supporting drug habits, including her children's.
She's only to sell her book, her story 🙄 and humiliate her children's father in the meantime.
I think the whole world has listened to her for way too long
Precisely. We have no right to judge. And look you got a like from Steven himself.
My summary of this podcast: I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you don't even understand it yourself.
Actually, I think people are giving her way too much attention. Who cares …that’s the problem… she does horrible things and treat people horribly. And we’re worried about figuring out what’s going on in her head. Yeah that’s it. She’s a victim.🤣
Have a different role model
Candace Owens
That's what childhood trauma & adverse child hood experiences do to people man.
@@neltins5308 that’s a victim mentality. I know tons of people have had childhood trauma myself included. God gives you what he gives you. It’s your job to rise above it. But what do we do we glamorize these people excuse them for what they do. That’s not what God wants. He wants everyone to take that and they’re dealt and rise above it to be a role model for people.
By far, one of the best, if not the best, interviewer / podcast host known to me. Every segment I have watched has been heartfelt, meaningful, and full of grace. Thank you for this interview. It showed a side of Jada most would never have known, yet judge according to what they thought was her truth. No one knows another's life experience. Less judgement, more love will save humanity. Prayers for this family, whose lives have been led astray. May they find their way back into the will of our Father, may we all find our way back to Him, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life - in all that life is meant to be. Godspeed ✞🕊
Brawo! Exactly. same thoughts
Ditto
Jada is such a Phony
I have to sit with this for aa while. I have very strong opinions regarding this woman.
Edit: She is a narcissist and I can't stomach her excuses or behavior at the expense of others. Her children don't deserve her drama. She is toxic.
Same here, I could make a video on all the lies she’s told. Nothing she says add up
I cant diagnose, but if I could, I'd say narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder.
She has such an unwarranted case of self-Importance. She would be no one without the marriage to will smith
@@juliehecht6603 that’s a lie.
She's Human! U have the problem cuz u put her on a pedalstal..
I am sorry but I am 12 min. in and I am having such trouble believing that a 7-year-old would feel and say "thank you for being honest" to a father who just rejected her! That is HEARTBREAKING!!! It had to be more impactful than she can admit. That one moment in time probably imprinted the unworthy feelings about men.. more than any other relationship. I found this very interesting and insightful. Steven, we love you and Jada I wish you the very best. Prayers. PS...people need to stop being so cruel! We should learn from each other, and support each other.

All she has been is a hoe and a drug dealer.
She is a liar, manipulator, cheater, and she is pretty well-dcumented for all this to be backed by evidence.
Her family has also spoken about this numerous times.
Celebrating her, may just call for self-reflection on the part of those supporting her.
She has not brought any value to anyone's life, and in fact, she has gone and destoryed, and she justifies it all by becoming the innocent victim of a tough childhood and bad choices.
She takes no responsibility, and randomly goes into moments of grandiosity of owning the world of drugs and being unstoppable.
What are you really celebrating or glorifying here?
she has prolly ruined many innocent lives by supporting drug habits, including her children's.
You can support selfish narcs....I will not!
My experience is one of the the worst parts of growing with abusive/ neglectful parents is the crazy-making feeling of no adults acknowledging what is happening is wrong. I’m sure it hurt her a lot, but I also believe that it could have been a relief to have the truth acknowledged.
My friend said the best day of her life was when she was taken into care. Not because she felt safer, but because she felt validated.
People are so cruel im mad at these commenters
@@taralilarose1She is a actress most are they just better at hiding it then she is. Still a fxcked story regardless.
Jada spoke a looooot of truths about marriage and INTERNAL happiness. You gotta make your own damn self happy before expecting your partner to perform some miracle!
Yeah the message that will smith had to beat into her head a million times before had enough and dumped her.
That’s right!!!
We need to put Jesus first to have true joy!
@@JMarie-th8xeThe most truthful comment but will be the most overlooked unfortunately. May The Most High God bless you
@djshodowntv9179 thank you! Same to you!
I haven't watched the entire podcast, so I was picking and choosing the chapters, and I'm so grateful to have found the moments Jada spoke about when she was suicidal and at a very dark point. It feels like a breath of relief to hear someone speak about their experience and the effects of trauma and being thrown back into society to function and be normal.
I commend you for actually reading the entire book to better inform your questions. I’ve watched a few interviews with Jada on this press run for Worthy and some of the interviewers didn’t read the book which led to cliché questions. You were able to do a deeper dive and provide better context having prepared yourself for this talk. This is how you respect your interviewee’s time and work. Kudos to you.
Why bother?
Agree, I think it was an excellent interview and it got her to open up.
Why even read her book. Why hand over hard earned money to her. If she actually cared to rectify her idiocy, she would do it without looking for a payout. She’s such a phony.
Why do we pay attention to these idiots. There are much more interesting things to do.
Press run for Worthy? How judgemental thine are from your high horse, like you've never made any mistakes or done anything wrong. Here's the stone you threw 🪨
Steven must be a voracious reader uh
The whole Tupac thing with her is nuts. Not the supposed relationship, but her constant telling of it... always adding more to it, and more intensity to it. She's destroyed Will with it, and viciously put a wedge between her daughter and husband with it. Sickening.
She’s using his name for clout everyone does it nowadays
Tupac would have filed for divorce after a year. 😂
Will Smith is not destroyed. He stands by her and we all need to just accept that. I think Jayda talks about Tupac because she regrets not giving him the time of day in the end. It’s therapeutic for her and guess what? People are eating that up because her sales and publicity are skyrocketing when she shares her experience with Tupac.
What are you talking about she literally says they were just friends. Ya’ll insecure af stop projecting on Will lol
"Relationship"? Did you even hear her? They were best friends with ZERO sexual chemistry. So idk why everyone is all up in arms over her just laying in out there. Will stood by her so... not sure what the big deal is
As much as many say her act is staged it is also important to see that behind all that there is pain and no one can really judge that..we r all work in progress...
Agree. People today have been programmed so well as to mindlessly take the bait of the media as well as the comments and opinions of other people as gospel truth. It's as if their cognitive faculties for critical thinking has atrophied. Those same people most likely would not hold not even an ounce of courage to be this vulnerable and courageous before millions of people.
Some people are really lost and not in touch with their souls anymore and thats a reality too, that we need to accept when shown and not faal for their games. The moment one loses touch with their soul, everything becomes a stage and a game to them and you can't entertain them.
Awww Jada 💝Thank you for this interview. Total feels!
Narcissists never committ suicide. They threaten to do so, easily and repeatedly, in order to get their way.
Yet they love themselves too much to actually go through with it.
It's rare, but some of them do. Look at Brian Laundry for a recent example, he wrote the note (which was his final "fuck you" to everyone and to make out he was some kinda great person), then offed himself.
the threat is part of the criteria for domestic abuse
yes this IT
Narcissists actually hate themselves. They may have a huge ego, and appear to "love themselves" but you can't love yourself and be a narcissist at the same time.
@@gemmalouiseroby8090exactly I was going to say the same about Brian laundrie
Stephen is a gifted interviewer.
His preparation for this interview was just crispy. You could literally cut the preparation with a knife. Very evident.
Also, his empathy and relatableness is incredible. Being able to even go himself to get her tissue & offer a hug (Bobo has good home training 😅)
The environment created also being non judgmental and neutral made Jada really open up in a way I have not seen in all her interviews. Big ups to him.
Just like Jada, we all have our own fair share of baggages we all struggle with and my prayer for her and for everyone is that May God help us all to become whole and know that he is the solution and the mender of broken hearts.
Lovely interview. 🖤🖤🖤
"Just crispy" 😂 love that
Well said 👍🏽
beautiful!! couldn't agree more.
Was absolutely spectacular!
I was thinking the same thing the other interview i had seen snippets of just felt sensationalised.. but I knew this would be a great in-depth, about the subject, not trying to be click bate, interview…
Damn...she doesn't get tired
Great interview! Didn’t know about this channel or Jada’s history and she definitely came across much more human than she’s been allowed to be in the usual media. You are a great interviewer, Steve. Mixing the right amount of vulnerability and genuineness with insight and empathy. Will definitely watch more of your content.
She uses therapy not as a means to get better, but as her parachute to willingly do horrible things to other people, then shifts all the blame, guilt, humiliation onto them (the person who she initially hurt). After step one is accomplished she then becomes the perceived victim who "survived" the trauma (which she caused) and overly glorifies her recovery process to make it seem that it was a inspirational journey of self growth for her.
She is the perpetrator, who uses peoples forgiveness as a way to manipulate them.
ANd breaks her marital vows with her own son's best friend SICK! Poor WILL, he fell for her manipulation tactics when he was young--- poor guy Thats Who I will always feel sorry for and her son who prob still has nightmares about his Mom having romantic thought of young men.
Horrible things?
Therapists often say you can't heal narcissists
@@jasonosunkoyamost narcissists won't even go to therapy. They think they are infallible. I suspect Jada only ended up going cos it's very in amongst the in crowd 🙄 she definitely weaponises therapy
Wow. Astute about ability and perhaps drive to manipulate for power though far far too one sided. Will wanted/wants to “Rule the World” oh but that is ok and healthy and he is a victim? I think they were both/are both ambitious to a fault (society enables that so not saying they are to blame…we create celebrity) and maybe her more so still as she has perhaps not been humbled as maybe, maybe, maybe Will has been after a very public very bad mistake? She just “Wanted to look into his eyes” really? Cause she admits early on to being ambitious herself though it was like an aside not like taking authentic inventory and accountability…she liked Will’s ability to fit in anywhere which is liking a means to an end and power not a description that speaks to who the man is his strengths and concomitant vulnerabilities.
I don't care what you've been through, everyone has traumas,Will too, and we're only worth how we treat people today.
100%
I hope my God does not hold me to this standard because I am not always nice to people…
She is just trying to redeem herself. She is very selfish
@@peaceemezue I wish I could thumbs up your comment at least 3 times. Everyone has had trauma. Oh poor you, little rich girl who got a rich husband to put you in the spotlight. Ungrateful person. Shame on her. She is gross.
That moment where you hugged Jada was such a beautiful, human interaction that we don't see in interviews with celebs. THANK YOU for always approaching each interview with grace, love, thoughtfulness and kindness. 💜
Aye she'll probably sue now for harassment
Hope it doesn't lead to an "entanglement" loll
for sure. that was the best moment full of love.

Hello
Healing yourself is a messy journey. I hope this interview will help those who are on that journey to heal themselves. Because this story of healing is playing out publicly. People are taking sides of who is right and wrong. In the 90's we had no tools to help us with our suicidal thoughts. I hope Jada's story will help someone out there to find the healing they need. Steven you sat in the mud with Jada for a while 🙌🏼 and that is a sign that you've showed up for this conversation with unconditional love, acceptance and non-judgement.
You are so right
😢its is so sad how these women want to always make excuses for each other never accountable assuming will probably cheated when not even jada accusse him of that but she admitted she cheated with a boy her sons friend becuase as we see most women dont accept the truth and facts and accountability 😢most women are ungrateful ,and its not the most evil or as evil as jada is as to when will smacked chris,who did try to sexually persue his wife while having marriage problems and a so called friend didnt think how you would feel so why should he care about chris being slapped its the least he could do😢❤dont be hard on jada dont be hard on ,how about that

@@_Diaryofwealth u mad. stay mad.
Yep
If Will is destroyed its bis own doing! Funny when he's riding high he gets the praise . When hes down its Jadas fault! Grow up!
It's scary seeing how many people can't see through her act. This is how psychos and socios find victims.
Exactly right 👏🏼
Ooooh hail the queen of PR ...I thought I was the only one who saw that
Ya'll don't know this damn lady. Go deal with your own issues. Will is a grown ass man if he did not want to be married he could permanently on paper Divorce Jada. Ya'll have no idea what this man did to Jada. There have been multiple women who will was with before August and Jada
She is a professional victim. When she talks she knows all the answers like she the patient and the therapist. This is why Will is still with her. He thinks he's her protector even if he's not her husband.
You are 100% correct on that - She is pathetic!
I almost did not watch this because social media has ripped this woman to shreds but I am glad I got past the preconceptions to listen with an open mind. There’s a deep world of hurt here that explains a lot. Beautiful moment of compassion, Steven - you touched all of our hearts.
You're always so kind and patient and none judgmental in your interviews.....this is clear .....great job, exceptional ability
You definitely have to be patient with this type of person, but will takes the cake, his level of patients must be astronomical
You articulated your point perfectly 🎉 bravo to you. Everything you mentioned is true by definition.
Hey can I talk to u😊
Jada reminds me of my wife, no not her money or fame, but her mental health. Her mannerisms attitude behavior and comportment seem familiar. I am not the only person who is being abused, yes this is female abuse against males.

That was an amazing interview. Jada, you are an incredible human being. I just had no idea how authentic and loving a person you were. May God bless you throughout your life with his joy and peace. My prayers are with you. And my kind thoughts go out to you.
Whenever someone is getting a lot of vitriol from the public, the little voice inside me whispers send them love, if this resonates with you, send Jada Pinkett love. The pain in her eyes say it all. Great interview! We are all human and fall short of the glory someday somehow❤️
And they are living unapologetically themselves and society is angry that they were able to, dear to break out of the box that they have put you in, the box that they themselves can’t get out of it due to fear of being ostracized by society the way they have ostracize and stigmatize her and anyone like her.
It's an actress.
Such good advice - send them love. I wish I could remember to do that all the time, every moment of every day. Easy to do when you're sitting in front of the screen, and there's time and space to notice the pain in Jada's eyes. Not easy when you're right in front of them, as their employee or husband or daughter. A life's work, for sure.

Absolutely. Can't believe Steven booked this lying horror. She's an actress acting all the time.
I understand, you’re so upset that one of our favorite interviewers would put out content from such a detrimental personality. I was looking for something other than the dislike button 😂

I so appreciate your humility and the gift you have for interviews. I also didn't know anything about Jada Pinkett Smith, and so appreciate all she shared, her authenticity, and vulnerability.
I'm the secret daughter of a priest who was a multi-millionaire when he died and who sexually and ritually abused me when I was a little girl. Some of the issues you address and the manner in which you address them, give me faith, strength and courage, especially as I ready myself to share more of my story publicly.
Thank you! You are a treasure. Your parents must be proud!
She’s so satisfied with herself for always painting herself as a victim. The dynamic is always how she has been victimized and how mature she was about it and “overcame” it. But somehow she always brings it up lol
god, grow up. seriously. you have an opportunity to put your ego aside and care for a person and your first instinct is to resort to sexist cruelty?
They’re asking her about it
I wonder if willow or the other child will be interviewing to sell a book of how traumatized they are for having such upside down inside down and twisted parents they had/have??
Exactly 💯 Jada always playing the victim card. She's a textbook narcissist and pathological liar.
Exactly - How do you reform as a criminal? You simply redefine what a ciminal is.. and change that law..... in order for her not to be seen as the cheater... she now invents this story of them not being together. So, now she is the victim. If this host or others can't recognize a narcissist then its a real shame. And women will sympathize with her as no woman wants to take responsibility for cheating - its always someone else's fault.... (anyone with half a brain can see how hurt Will Smith was in that red table talk and how evasive she was - that's not a woman who had sex when they were on a break, thats a woman who had an affair) Why can't interviewers call her out or even ask her 'difficult' questions... ???
I understand the timing and strategy of this interview and I'm also honored to be able to get a birdseye view of how generational trauma impacted her life. If you could look past the supposed 'hatred' that you think you have of her and listen, this was so valuable. Thank you Steven.
What value did you gain from it?
@@TerriTerriHotSauce For me, how unresolved generational wounds have a way of seeping into different areas of life.
@@Indivinethymebunch of nonsense 😂😂😂
Totally agree
I actually dont think she's fake, but like she's admitted herself she has a lot of unhealed trauma. I just don't think people are used to someone's vulnerability, emotions and trauma being televised.
A lot of time when we traumatised, we re-live pain over and.over because its normal. I think once she let's go of Tupac and emotionally and mentally puts him to rest, she will find a lot of freedom but its clear how they ended is probably stopping her doing that.
Also, back to Will. Its very clear Will wasn't her type and sometimes when you force something you can end up self-sabotaging. She's doing it over and over again televised. Another thing, that people aren't used to seeing.
But we are all human, everyone's self-sabotaging at some point but we aren't televised doing it😅
This is exactly it. She's actually just "too Real" for the public..
Yeah I think a level of self awareness is needed to understand her , even a little bit.
As someone who does therapy, I think this is a great observation. We also know she’s here to promote her book as well.
This is the most humane, truthfull, objective opinion in this comment thread, thank you
Agree, many people never experienced such real love without sx, so they are confused and against it. Others see their truth in her words have feel convicted. While others have had this experience and are able to understand it and let it be her story her truth without ridicule.
I’m trying to give her a shot here, but only because Stephen is such a PHENOMENAL interviewer ❤❤❤

Unfortunately in these days, the more you can show how much of a victim you are, the more social scores you earn. Its weird. The days of "Hey! buckle up and try again" is gone. That is considered to be toxic advice these days
What an absolutely nonsense of a guest.
Her kids mental health, her husband's mental health, and everything that she is, looka t her talk, she is a proper sociopath, with so many disorders, she is not inspiring at all. And somehow she is the victim?
She has not done anything, any work, anyhting that adds any value to anyone's life, not even her family, what are you talking about!
All she has been is a hoe and a drug dealer.
She is a liar, manipulator, cheater, and she is pretty well-dcumented for all this to be backed by evidence.
Her family has also spoken about this numerous times.
Celebrating her, may just call for self-reflection on the part of those supporting her.
She has not brought any value to anyone's life, and in fact, she has gone and destoryed, and she justifies it all by becoming the innocent victim of a tough childhood and bad choices.
She takes no responsibility, and randomly goes into moments of grandiosity of owning the world of drugs and being unstoppable.
What are you really celebrating or glorifying here?
she has prolly ruined many innocent lives by supporting drug habits, including her children's.@@QuirkyQubits
So narcicist should be shunned, put in a cave and locked away? Same with autism and down syndrome people? So many of you are like, I got it, She's a Narcicist! Okay, and what? Expand on that, and how it effects you. It's like someone going to the special Olympics and making a video going Hey Guys! I Figured it out! these athletes are mentally challenged!" U look like the idiot
Amber Heard next? 😂
Jada is a vey intelligent person, and within her formative years of life she used that intelligence to out smart others in the streets...she still has the mindset of wanting to come out on top in all situations and this stops her from being authentic and relatable...I like and feel for her and hope she finds peace and healing and only the truth will set her free.
That's very insightful.
The word to describe her is cunning
How you figure! She's just telling her story..
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life!❤
After this interview/conversation and hearing Jada talk I cant call her a narcissist because she is able to open up and be honest regardless how embarrassing or hard it is and narcs dont really do that…. Shes being very vulnerable and real which is refreshing to see because thats how everyone should be to not make life more complicated than it already is.
I had a narcissist boyfriend how cried every time I expressed my feelings, so not. They can lie.
@@JaviColorss I really don't find her genuine openness genuine,
bla bla bla
I think shes just broken
I perceive humility, brokenness, attentiveness, and a loving, bruised heart
Oh I lost it at the hug. 😭People don't understand the power a hug has when someone is just broken.
🤣😂😂
A full hug ❤
Amazing how her confession that she and Will have been separated for years comes out just when she needs publicity for her book. She is such a narcissist using anyone and anything to get attention to herself. All these years she portrayed herself as a saint now shes telling everyone shes a criminal, cheater etc the crying deserved an Oscar. Feel nothing for this fake fool.
😂
It’s a revision of history, classic narc tactic. Gets her publicity for her book plus makes her look a little less bad regarding her “entanglement”, i.e., AFFAIR with the friend of her son. This woman has no respect for boundaries.
She is also using the late Tupac's name to gain fame and sell her book
The narcissist word has been thrown around so much I think, she sharing her story and being sincere and genuine. Even in her Red table talk show she s alwsy been so raw n honest. Yes she selling her book but i don't understand hate towards her tbh.
@@sarabennett6295 i doubt thats true Tupac n Jada were extremely close and she was asked about it and then she responded.Keep in mind that Tupac was not some normal dude.
I'm so happy to see Jada, I had the privilege of hanging out with her once and I was mesmerized by her. Not just her stunning physical beauty in person, but her warm, kind energy and spirit was beautiful. Nothing felt phony or pretentious about her. I've been around many celebrities, but her humble, happy, welcoming spirit made me want to be a better person. I'll never forget that experience, it had a profound impact on me. I love that she's so wise and unapologetically authentic and open to life. Her haters are envious of that and profoundly unaware of themselves. I admire Jada deeply, and always will❣
Say what you need to about Jada. The way Steven showed no judgement and embraced her at 1:05:12 was absolutely beautiful. Steven is the man!
@@RobertLeighJames92 I just liked seeing Stevens natural instinct to help
He’s just a sweetheart ❤

Good job my friend! I had NO interested in listening to Jada had to say but when I saw her on your show I tuned in just to watch for few minutes and here I am at 2:02 am after finished watching the whole interview. You're amazing in what you do, God bless!!!
Same....I had no interest in watching her interviews. But I knew Steven would do a phenomenal job and I had to see where he would take it.
This interview I just started out of curiosity , having always been intrigued with Jada, her only one on the planet beauty, her Presence, and I ended up crying, listening to every word, going back to rehear and better understand, better grasp, and to be able to feel....thank you both. Thank you dear Jada for your unfeigned emotional honesty....thank you Steven once again. I feel privileged to have "been in the room". from Linda , 78 yr old white woman.
This man is a top tier interviewer, no question
Can we al collectively stop giving this woman clout? Thanks. ❤
I liked the interview and understand her better than I did before. People are really hard on her, without understanding it takes two to make or break a marriage. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors! Will made his own choices and so did she.
I have always viewed the arrangement of "marriage" to be literally hell on earth. I have no idea how couples pull it off year after tiresome year. These two really seemed to both give it their best effort for all the years I've seen them on public display. Definitely not "soul mates" but they really seemed to support each other well.
Girl bye
THIS. Ppl need a villain & a victim & its too easy to hate Jada. Ppl act like Will sits in a corner crying over his wife while he is on month long vacays with his sides. I distrust ppl who are more concerned with crafting a image of perfection then actually striving to be better & that is what Will does. Nobody knows what goes on in a marriage but it takes 2 toxic ppl to remain in dysfunction.
@@beewest5704Facts👏🏾
@@beewest5704i know, right. Most people need therapy. 🙄🙄
Great interview! So candid and personal. I learned a lot about her. You have such a gift for letting people open up without getting in the way. I so enjoy your podcast!
I managed to finish watching this video (I had to take several breaks though) and I have to admit its mentally draining listening to this person continuously moan about how life has been difficult to them. Mind you this is a well to do person whom life has dealt a hand that places them within the top 5% of successful people in the world. It was a deluge of "poor me" through out.
Money can't buy happiness! She didn't say anything bad about her husband. She said her husband gave her the world! She needed to find happiness. Tupac was her good friend in her youth. She took her steps to become successful despite her childhood which is honorable. Her and Will love eachother!❤
You should take a break from this because clearly you've built up such a hate for her, nothing she says will resonate. Please go find somethng joyful and skip anything you see about her in the future. I'm concerned for some of you all's well being.
Where's her whaaaa whaaa whaaa alopecia now? Lmfao! Pure jokes!😂
@@julybutterfly😂exactly!!!
@@bettymedley2777 If your man keeps going on and on about their ex girlfriend, how good they were etc how will that make you feel? What if he admits he just slept with your daughter's best friend?
Jada not the monster social media has made her out to be. It’s evident from watching this that the truth is almost always somewhere in between. I wish her continued healing and health.
Somewhere in between of lies and bs
@@MOOMOO2728 fr it's the "healing", "journey" and "entanglement" for me, girl please...
I 🙄 know. Social media is a curse of sorts. People have gone mad.
You are phenomenal interviewer! I absolutely love the questions you ask and you dive in with a unbiased approach and allow a safe space for not only the one being interviewed but for your audience to form their own opinion. Cheers and well done!
This is the first positive response I read...Oh Jada...
Yeah, but what do you really think of Jada? Is she human excrement deficated into the shape of a woman? Is she strong and brave for banging her sons friend. Is she a hero and example to all women for destroying her marriage and traumatizing her husband and children wile taking no accountability for her own actions? You go girl! Go get that bag? Is that the take away?
I have been riding on the hate Jada train for a while now, not anymore. She is smart and so relatable. And self aware. I think I'm jumping off the train. Good interview.
Thank you for getting this interview done. The ones who have the intellectual maturity will be open to listen and get some form of insight whether they disagree with Jada or not. Blessed
Agree, it was a good interview.
I love this comment "have the intellectual maturity to listen to...... "..... Maybe you should listen to Bernie Madoff with the same mindset. I'm sure he had a reason to carelessly destroy people's lives too..... This woman has unapologetically destroyed her husbands life and career and taken no accountability for that or even apologized. Horrible human being.
This. 100%! We shouldn't need to like or agree with someone to hear them. Some of these comments are vile 😞
@@laurenbythesea We're not talking about disagreeing on the color of wall paint. Jada doesn't care about her husband. These are disagreements on principals, ethics and morals and Jada has none. And she's becoming a model for other people to behave horribly towards their loved ones and then just excuse it with whatever means necessary to victimize oneself.
You are soft brain.
@@nthusiastt Maybe you should take the time to actually read his book and get insight on the behavior he had similar to his wife. Then you will understand instead of blindly being upset.
She is delusional and so out of touch with reality. She is also a narcissist. She also ruined Will’s career, aside from his reputation.
What about Will's own actions? She did not know he was walking up there to slap Chris for real. Will is responsible. Even if he was offended on behalf of his wife, he could have chosen a different way to handle it.
Will Smith is bananas as well though
Yes, a RAGING NARCISSIST for sure!
Imagine a solid genuine wholesome guy having to marry somebody like this.
Maybe Will’s ambition ruined his own career and reputation (though i don’t think that will be the outcome ultimately) and perhaps Jada and Will have both been too ambitious; perhaps that was his attraction to her…remember he picked her. She talks about him wanting to “Rule the World” …whoa…really? Other things I’ve included in comments here suggest her attraction to him was largely as a partner in ambition but for him too.
Steven, I keep trying to figure out what it is exactly that makes you and you interviewing style so profound; I don't know that I have, but this I do know, you listen with your heart and that is so, so impactful, safe and healing all in one.
Jada, gosh, thank you for your truth and for your vulnerability. So much of what you shared resonated deeply. "I'm still working out my relationship with grief." "Heartbreak breaks you open...you can go into this deep wells of darkness or you can go into this deep wells of light...use heartbreak, discontent pain to search for the bright light and beautiful blessings in them."
Brilliant interview!!!!❤
I enjoy interviews that dig into the guest’s character…more than focusing on salacious topics (which mostly reads as meaningless chatter; which won’t be remembered or revisited). Kudos for conducting a meaningful discussion. And, while I don’t find Jada relatable, I do respect her talent. Seeing this side of her helped me view her in a more meaningful way. Thank you for helping me find humanity in her life and what has come from her life’s experiences. Thank you for helping me, and others, see her and Tupac and Will as REAL people. They “feel”, just as we all do. We can so easily forget that and dismiss them as “rich people”. They’re people. They hurt. They too are affected by their past too. Thanks again, so much for the reminder. You never disappoint!
Powerful insights from Jada, simply being human. Talking about suicide. "Something needs to die-its not you!" POWERFUL stuff! What a message. Absolutely love these interviews with Steven. I'm loving the intelligent and informative content from influential people. x
SHE'S. AN. ACTRESS. Thinking that actors EVER have unguarded moments in front of a camera is a ridiculous underestimation.
A bad one at that.
Go to an acting class. You’ll learn that actors are taught to BE. Not to Act. Dummy.
Nope.
Shes a rich famous mans wife.
Nothing else.
Thats her only currancy.
@mind5403but these comments are interesting lol.
To think that anyone can choose to actually be transparent, despite their profession
Admittedly, this interview with Jada redefined my perception, and of course my opinion of her. The human story, the unfolding phases of her life resonate with so many of us. The celebrity media dogma diminish the underlying truth in most instances. Brilliant interview Steven.
She charmed/fooled you too. Lucifer is charming, remember that.
@@PhAtALTheAlphA - Envy of someone you don't know is fool-hearted! What is it about you that hates Jada being who she is (whatever she is)?
@@JD-oj5ndenvy? Nah, I feel deeply sorry for her. She needs prayer.
This is the part majority of people are missing.
You sound really gullible
Thank you Steven. This was one of your most powerful interviews that served to touch me in ways that turned the mirror back on my self. Great job doing your own healing and learning on the fly. I could see your wheels turning as it pertains to your own relationship and how you now see your self. Awesome.
I read Will’s book so when the slap happened, I understood it on more than a surface level so I partially understand what Jada meant when she said the slap wasn’t about her.
And I’ll read her book, too. We need to have much more compassion for each other because I KNOW if just the snap shots of my bad decisions and mistakes were public for everyone to judge, I’d be hated too. But if you read my life in full, you’d have better context- just like my friends and family who have always stood by me.
I challenge everyone judging to look inward and do the same. What are you ashamed of? What decisions would you rather take to your grave than reveal? Now think about them being public for millions to judge without knowing who you actually are as a person. Would we villainize you, too?
Sounds like you're making excuses for your bad behavior.
Amen to this ❤
@@Sniggitysnail have you read the books? At least Will’s because he explains a lot.
I had read Will's book before the Oscar slap and I saw how the slap happened. It was not right but, given the therapeutic work that Will was exploring at the time ( his helplessness over his father's physical abuse of his mother) I totally saw that slap coming. If you were at the family barbecue, Do you really think you could snap on Aunt Edna's bald head without a beat down coming your way???
@@shesavedbytheKing like I would was money on that garbage. Anyone that sleeps with the kids friends is sick in the head.
I feel so sorry for her children … she is so self absorbed … this is the epitome of embarrassment.
Fr idk why she was on an episode of this, I cant think of anybody I know or am aquainted with who likes her even a little
She has created little mini me's. Her daughter is massively involved in her marriage and she is comfortable bashing her dad and backing her mother. Learned behaviour. That man worked hard to give them all what they got ungrateful brats the lot of them
@hollybyrne3579 I agree!
Exactly !!
AMEN
This was an unexpected interview. Thank you for humanizing Jada and allowing me to see another side. I related to a lot that she had to say, I hope she finds peace and healing.
Best comment! You definetly humanized her thanks steven
Publicity ploy, covert narcs know how to win hearts. A leopard can not change its spots 🙏
@@FaithfulandTrue777 She was doing her sons friend, same old gangstaho.
This is NOT the whole story and truth. Jada continues to purport a false narrative that protects Will, and she is willing to play the villain when she is indeed the victim in the marriage. Her book only scratches the surface of the pain and suffering she has endured to be Will’s wife and allow him to live his best life!
Despite us still not getting the whole story, this interview delved deeply beyond the complex layers and allowed us to see Jada as a multidimensional person. Great job to the interviewer. You were patient. You were kind. You were empathetic. You were nonjudgmental. You showed godly love.
Jada and Will Smith have a business relationship. That is what Jada wanted. Just because it didn’t work out for her, I don’t think that’s a reason to make it his fault.
I believed this the whole time. I thought, how much is she covering up about him? People do it all of the time. Especially women.
@@kkw-pal1178 as you saw in my comment written earlier, I wholeheartedly agree. Will is the one with the power and influence, because of his financial and social status. I observed early on how Will does NOT protect Jada and, he is quickly to place the blame on her. Will is not a wimpy, passive man who is bring manipulated by his wife. He is and has been doing as he pleases under the guise of having a wife who is unappreciative, opinionated, and manipulative, and vindictive. While the truth is that Jada is unhappy, because she has to pretend, turn her head and act as though her marriage is solid and she doesn’t care if Will is with other people, because she is going her own thing. She does not want yo go her own thing. She wants yo share her life with her husband, but he has chosen to live a double life and make it look as though she is the problem. So, that slap in the face looked like a protective husband, but it was a response triggered by public embarrassment, because Will is protective of his public image, not his wife.
@@NatalieBrown-z7e I didn't read her book and know nothing, so I hope you don't mind my asking. Did she not know who he was before having children with him?
Jada seems to be finding herself and loving herself. It’s never too late and I wish her the best on her soul’s journey.
If we could all consistently see ourselves through Creator’s eyes and how infinitely loved we are, our problems would disappear.
true
She is always finding herself yet ur marriage is not in a good place. Smh
@opalessence we are our own creators
@@vibes1809 in my opinion, it’s a collaborative process. :-)

Great job with this interview, honestly my perception of her has changed. Thank you for opening my mind and not letting the media just shape our views of people. Keep up the excellent work!
I connected with 4 people in 4 different ways after I watched this - life changing for me.
Looove Jada and her honesty! I see you!! Thank you for being very courageous. You’re a queen JADA 👑
