Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about how she felt when people turned against her after her husband, Will Smith, shocked the world by slapping Chris Rock at last year’s Oscars.
The “Red Table Talk” host shared that “it’s ridiculous how far it goes” in regards to how much people blame her for Will’s actions.
She tied it to the notion that there was a “false narrative” that she had cheated on Will, referencing her affair with August Alsina, which apparently happened when she was separated from the “Men in Black” star.
“But I also understand at the same time. Given the false narrative that I had cheated on Will or that I was like an adulteress, Will had never done that before. And I think when we just look at human nature… when you look at breadcrumbs, people need something to blame,” Jada said in a recent interview with People magazine.
He added, “So, people who don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, I’m certainly not surprised that I’m being blamed. But I understand that’s just the human nature of it all.
