It can take a codependent a really long time to grasp that point.)Īs a codependent-in-recovery myself, let me tell you that I totally get where Jada is coming from. We support them through their own healing. She also shared that she was aware that she was codependent at the time and "It helped to heal somebody". I was very broken…I wanted to feel good," expressed Jada. Jada said that she and Will had been going through a difficult time back then, to the point where they basically separated and weren't sure if reconciliation was even on the table. Well, she went with "entanglement" until Will offered push back so that she would admit that it had been an actual relationship. Maybe a little uncomfortable along the way (understandably so), but she did admit that, 4 ½ years ago, her friendship with August turned into what she first said was "a different kind of entanglement". Still, I must admit that Jada was surprisingly candid. After all, when you're "coming to the table" to get to the bottom of things, typically that needs to involve all of the parties yet her Red Table today was only her and Will. I'll be the first to raise my hand in this class and say that I was sooooo prepared for Jada to skirt around what August said had transpired between them-an affair. But, for now, here are my three main takeaways from what Jada Pinkett Smith, August Alsina and Will Smith had to say about…well, you know. Very much so.Īnyway, as a marriage life coach, I'm pretty sure I could come up with 15 points. Which is why we should always choose wisely. However, my motivation for penning this is more of a cautionary tale of how we can find ourselves in things that 1) we may not have been prepared to get involved in and/or 2) oftentimes don't have an expiration date, in the sense of when they'll come back up again. I just wanted to get that out there beforehand because, before I do shallow deep dive into what Jada shared when she met herself at the table today (you can check it out here), I think it's important we keep in mind that speculations aren't facts.

Very rarely do both individuals have the same one, let alone the people who are looking from the outside in. As far as Jada and August, I've been in enough relationships-and situationships-to know that perspectives are everything. We're never going to know the whole story because we aren't involved in Will and Jada's union. Will and Jada have been married for over 25 years and, according to Jada, she and August have been done for a few years now. Second, you don't have the time and I don't have the space to try and cover all things Will and Jada or Jada and August. This means that relationships also are flawed as well. I mean, I can't tell you how many times folks would tell me that they wanted a marriage that was just like Jay Z and Beyoncé-well, they wanted it until Jay Z admitted that he had been unfaithful. No one is perfect and, honestly, even the hashtag #relationshipgoals is pretty annoying. One, we really need to stop talking about celebrities like we know these people personally (unless we actually do). I know some of you clicked on this fast AF, but let me just say two things before getting into the whole Jada/August/Will saga. Me:*laughing* don't try start nothing you can't finish.Whew, y'all. I put my shorts on and a Moscoto Sports bra on. He got out the car and I opened the door. We left the restaurant and August drove me to my condo. You have a purpose that's why your here.Īugust: I like you, you not like dese hoes, you fm got a nigga Fallin in luh an shit, Man a nigga might fuck up and get cuffed messin wit chu. Mel wanted you to be somebody and you did what he said. Me: hey god didn't take you for a reason. He just burst into tears and I held him so tight.Īugust: I miss him so much. I started singing at 12 and my brother Mel was so supportive ya know a-and he told me to be the best I could be and get out the ghetto and take mama with you. During a tornado my father and uncle died. My mom moved us to Texas to get away from that. I decided conversation with August.Īug: Well my father was addicted to the coco an so was my uncle. We walked into the restaurant and the waitress showed our table. Me: 1738 aye I'm like hey wassup hello sit ya pretty ahh soon as you come to the door.

He started driving and I turned on the radio. I grabbed my Chanel purse and walked in August Ferrari. I put finished up my makeup and I heard a car horn. I put on my outfit (pic above) and curled my hair.
