He was willing to throw his career away for a woman he’s been technically separated from for years. I just don’t get it…

"Doing it for the kids" he says to himself while she goes around and probably has sex with other people behind his back. Like I think we're all at the point where nobody would fault Will Smith for divorcing Jada pinkett and moving on.

Nobody - except Scientology.

I'm convinced she uses their kids as leverage over him. If he left, the kids could be squirrelled away by the church and he might never see them again.

Crazy. Most scientologists are women running away asap. But here it's Will.

Oh no I'd this a Scientology church thing?

Fuck Scientology

I did not know he was a part of that cult. He’s fucked. Poor guy.

TWeaK@lemm.ee · 30 pts · 2y

He's not, she is.

I don't think anything she does is behind his back, I think he's fully aware of it. I'm not saying he agrees with it or anything, just that their relationship is pretty fucked but their reasons for staying together is between them.

I don't actually know, but I get the feeling a lot of Hollywood marriages would be unrecognizable to me behind closed doors. Rich, attractive people tend to play by different rules.

At the end of the day, they can choose to live how they want. All while being scrutinized by the media. The price of fame, I suppose.

So he's basically a cuck then?

You mean getting into an entanglement?

An entanglement of their genitals.

It's all about maintaining his image as a family man. I've read articles about their relationship and from what It strikes me as a very unhealthy relationship.

hoshikarakitaridia@sh.itjust.works · 41 pts · 2y (10 replies)

I really don't think it's just to maintain an image. I don't know him personally, but relationships get weird. Maybe he hasn't divorced her because he is in a catch 22 with the property, their friends or his children. Maybe he still loves her. Maybe he loves the idea of her. Maybe he does it because she won't take it well. There could be a million reasons. However, will does not strike me as a cold hearted business man. He might know his way around the actor scene but this ain't it.

A friend of mine met him at a club event some years ago, and as he tells it, he was trying to act like he had that bde going on but it just came off as desperate. We really have nfi.

balderdash9@lemmy.zip · 14 pts · 2y

He mentions in his book that he always felt like he couldn't protect people around him. I don't condone his actions but clearly he has some shit to work out with a therapist.

It is about that specifically, jada has said her soul mate was Tupac, who died in 1996

MyDearWatson616@lemmy.world · 50 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Wow what a bunch of sheep. Everyone knows Tupac and Biggie faked the feud and their own deaths to sell more records. They live together in Thug Mansion but they spend holidays in Gangtas Paradise.

Assman@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Destroyed your credibility by misspelling "Thugz Mansion"

Will Smith & Jada Pinkett

Dkarma@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 2y (5 replies)

I'm convinced he's got a bunch of crazy fetishes including shame, cuck, masochism in general. Wouldnt be surprised if he had one of those dick cages and she made him wear it.

Wait. Why?

Dkarma@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Why would u stay with someone who treats u so badly u feel the need to slap Chris rock on national TV?

mindlight@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Domestic abuse. That's why.

Or fetish

DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe · 6 pts · 2y

I don't think they're being reasonable. Mostly because Will seemed very unhappy with the situation.

Acrimonious@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I don't know if she said it or not but it's about Jada Pinkett Smith saying Tupac was her soulmate. It wouldn't surprise me, they seemed to have a lot of chemistry.

1996 is almost 3 decades ago. Plenty of time to meet and marry the new husband.

It's almost like they've been separated for years.

... Like she's not his spouse. (effectively, if not legally)

dustyData@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Someone should tell Will, because he doesn't seem to have gotten that memo.

If your soulmate is a rapper, living or dead, then you deserve to be divorced on principle.
