Two months after the incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock during the Oscars that put the Smith family ‘in the eye of the hurricane’, which practically disappeared from the networks and the public spotlight, little by little they are being seen, just as Jada Pinkett does it on her Facebook show, ‘ Red Table Talk ‘.
In her latest issue, Pinkett sat down with her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, her daughter, Willow Smith, and ‘ Mother Hunger ‘ writer Kelly McDaniel, to discuss precisely mother-daughter relationships, though the Will Smith’s wife took the opportunity to share one of her “greatest wounds” throughout her life.
‘The Greatest Wound’ by Jada Pinkett Smith
During the conversation, they shared several anecdotes that have to do with motherhood, although Jada touched on a topic related to her difficulty in maintaining stable personal relationships and the reason why this situation has cost her throughout her life.
“ Mine is simply feeling that I have no protection. It is my biggest wound, and it always comes out in my relationships, ”confessed the actress of Matrix Revoluchiones (2003).
Adrienne Banfield-Norris seconded the deepening of this topic, and it was precisely she who revealed the reason why this feeling of lack of protection for her daughter arose: the death of her mother (Pinkett’s grandmother).
“The environment that was when I was little, my addiction, she found refuge in my mother. And then when mom died, that’s when my addiction was over, ”Jada’s mother revealed, who returned to the subject to talk about how she coped with the death of her grandmother.
“I had to deal with a lot of adult problems at a very young age, I couldn’t deal with all those emotions that I was feeling. I just had to move on.”
Does ‘Red Table Talk’ touch on Will Smith’s slap in the face of Chris Rock?
Even though national and international media expect some statement from Jada or Will after what happened at the Oscars award ceremony last March, at the beginning of the broadcast of this chapter they clarified that they are in a process of “healing ‘, and that the details of this process will be shared when they are ready.
“Considering everything that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has focused on deep healing. Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared at the table when the time comes”, reads the start of ‘Red Table Talk’.
