Jada Pinkett-Smith Speaks Up About Will Smith Split Rumors
Jada Pinkett-Smith has just responded to split rumors that have been hovering over her marriage with “Suicide Squad” actor Will Smith for years. She had recently sat down with Howard Stern on SiriusXM Radio just last month to somehow give some clarity regarding the status of her current married life.
“We have traveled and you have got to be strong,” Pinkett-Smith told Stern, as reported by Us Weekly. “It takes work, you know that.”
“I am not the kind of woman who believes a man is not going to be attracted to another woman,” the “Gotham” actress added. “Just because a man is attracted to another woman does not mean that he does not love you. It does not mean that he is going to act on it.”
It would appear that the partnership that she and Smith has had in their 20 years of marriage is strongly built on “trust.”
“I am not here to be anybody’s watcher,” she said. “He is a grown man. The man that Will is, is a man of integrity. He has got all the freedom in the world. As long as Will can look himself in the mirror and be okay, I am good.”
As it would turn out, the “Men in Black” star further fueled cheating rumors when he and his “Focus” co-star, Margot Robbie -- who also happens to be his co-star in the upcoming DC blockbuster, “Suicide Squad” -- were involved in some relatively frisky photo booth sessions in 2013. Although Pinkett-Smith did acknowledge those rumors as “ridiculous,” she may have admitted that her husband may have found Robbie quite attractive.
“If your man is not going to see another woman’s beauty, how the heck is he going to see yours?” she said.
Pinkett-Smith is part of the much-awaited “Magic Mike XXL” as a club owner. She told Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb of the “Today” show that she “had a ball” shooting the film, starring alongside some of the entertainment industry’s sexiest men. Despite that, she said she managed to keep “good Jada” strong.
“‘Boo boo, you are married, okay? So, we need to shut it down,’” Pinkett-Smith shared. “But, the bad Jada goes, “Procreate, procreate, procreate!’”
Apparently, her role was supposed to be given to a male actor, but the film’s lead star, Channing Tatum, had insisted on casting Pinkett-Smith for it. “He was, like, ‘I really think there is a way to make this platform responsible and fun,’” she shared. “I said, ‘I do not know where this is going to end up, Channing, but I am going to take this ride with you.”
