This week, Jada Pinkett Smith, who is promoting her new memoir Worthy, opened a floodgate of secrets and bombshells that she and her husband, Will Smith, have been keeping from the world.
The actress dropped the shocking news that she and her spouse have been separated since 2016. She blamed Will Smith for the infamous Oscars slap.
She also confessed that Chris Rock attempted to date her while she was separated from Will Smith. Many applauded Jada Pinkett Smith for finally sharing her truths with the world, while others attacked her for emasculating her husband in a public manner.
All of Pinkett Smith’s dirty laundry airing led to an interesting question: how do her children, Willow and Jayden Smith, feel about the book, the web of lies, and the scandalous revelations?
Sources close to the Smith siblings spoke to the Daily Mail to explain that they are relieved that they no longer have to lie or pretend that their family is perfect when, obviously, it is not.
A family friend said Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22, were uncomfortable with the charade and added: “Although Jaden and Willow love their mom to no end and take on many of her behaviors and traits, they are very relieved the news is finally out there, so everyone can just get on with it, no one is getting any younger.”
The source went on to elaborate on Jaden and Willow Smith’s bizarre predicament created by their deceitful parents.
The person claimed: “They were constantly asked about their parents and for seven years they had to basically lie to everyone and pretend that everything was perfectly fine when they knew it was not.”
Another insider focused on Willow Smith by saying that while she loves her mother, she is incandescently angry at her decision to share embarrassing details about her family life.
The friend claimed: “She does not know why her mom had to go and tell the world all their dirty laundry. She feels like she is laughed at by all her peers.”
According to the source, Willow Smith often got into fights with her mother for keeping up so long with the lies.
The person in the know said: “This made them extremely agitated at times, and they would constantly get into fights with each other and with them.”
According to the source, Willow will easily forgive her mother, but the same cannot be said for her father. It has been revealed that Willow Smith holds a lot of resentment against Will Smith.
The source claimed: “Although Willow is understood to be upset at her mother for sharing this news in such a public manner, she has long harbored resentment towards her father behind the scenes. Willow holds so much animosity towards Will in particular. She will always take Jada’s side in things.”
Some predict that Willow Smith might one day share her side of the story, and Will Smith will be the one getting the major public slap this time around.
