Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s marriage had already been the subject of scandal a few months ago when the actress admitted to being unfaithful to her husband during a period of separation.
However, in the wake of Will’s slapping of comedian Chris Rock, a series of statements have emerged that reflect poorly on their relationship.
The actress’s reaction after the Oscars ceremony was to condemn the assault committed by her husband. This incident led the press to review previously published content around the couple, and a video reemerged from 2018 wherein Pinkett Smith stated that she never wanted her marriage and that she had been forced to marry Will Smith because she was pregnant.
The video is from an episode of Red Table Talk, which featured the couple, as well as one of their daughters, Willow, and the actress’s mother, Adrienne Banfield. In that interview, the actors talked about the beginning of their marriage.
I was under so much pressure, Pinkett Smith said then. “You know, being a young actress… I was pregnant and I just didn’t know what to do. I never wanted to be married.”

Recently, in a recent interview with US Weekly, Jada Pinkett questioned her husband’s assault on Chris Rock and pointed out that the moment was an embarrassing one for her and an overreaction from her husband.
“I never said he needed to protect me,” Pinkett said. it was in the heat of the action and he was the one who overreacted. I didn’t and wouldn’t do it in any way.”
