Jada Pinkett Smith ‘Never’ Wanted to Marry Will, Cried at ‘horrible’ Wedding
New York Post ^ | April 8, 2022 | Asia Grace

Jada Pinkett Smith confessed that she “really didn’t want to get married” to Will Smith.

In fact, the “Matrix” actress — now on the roasting spit of Smith’s infamous Oscars smack-down of Chris Rock and the Academy’s decision Friday to ban him from the ceremony for 10 years — admitted to “crying down the freaking aisle” before tying the knot with the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star on New Year’s Eve in 1997.

“I was under so much pressure, you know, being a young actress, being young, and I was just, like, pregnant and I just didn’t know what to do,” declared Pinkett Smith, 50, in a freshly exhumed snippet from her “Red Table Talk” Facebook series. “I never wanted to be married.”

They seem like a deeply unhappy and messed up couple.

Doing the math, she was 25 when she got married. That isn’t young.

There are a lot of different incentives and constraints interacting in this situation. In a way, I’m sorry for all of them, if their decisions haven’t resulted in their being tolerably happy.

I do wish media would stop saying that Chris Rock insulted, mocked, or impugned Jada. He simply observed that her head was shaved. Which it was.

I once went to visit my mother the day after I got a haircut, and when I walked into her apartment, she said to her friend, “And here is my daughter, who seems to have joined the Marine Corps.” It wasn’t an insult or anything.

Good point, she also can’t play the victim card.

She seems pretty terrible. What about poor Will putting up with her?
