Addressing the Rumors and Clarifying Misconceptions: Jada Pinkett Smith
Following the public revelation of the affair, rumors swirled that Will had given his blessing for the relationship, a claim that Jada quickly set straight on Red Table Talk. “One of the things I want to clear up that was kind of swirling in the press was you giving permission, which the only person who can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself,” Jada clarified. She explained that because she and Will were separated at the time, Alsina might have misconstrued the situation as having Will’s approval. However, Jada made it clear that Alsina was not a “homewrecker” and that the situation was far more complicated than it appeared in the media.
