Jada Pinkett regrets dating Will Smith while he was still married

 

Jada Pinkett Smith’s little girl, Willow, opened up about her past battles with self-damage and cutting herself in a current scene of Smith’s new Facebook arrangement, “Red Table Talk.”

On Monday’s scene titled “Surviving Loss,” Smith sat down with her “Casual conversation” co-has, her mom, Adrienne Banfield Jones, and her little girl, Willow, to discuss adapting to the torment of misfortune.

Willow opened up to her mom and her grandma and clarified that in the wake of hitting fame at nine years old with the single, “Whip My Hair,” the now 17-year-old said she encountered an incredible loss of self which drove her to a dull place.

“I would have to say I honestly feel like I lost my sanity at one point,” she said. “It was after that whole ‘Whip My Hair’ thing and I had just stopped doing singing lessons and I was kind of just in this gray area of, ‘Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Is there anything I can do besides this?’”

She then admitted that she told no one in her family about phase and only one friend knew. “I never talk about it because it was such a short, weird point in my life but you have to pull yourself out of it.”

But the daughter of Will Smith reassured her mother that the phase was short-lived and she has not revisited the idea of self harm in almost five years. “I honestly felt like I was experiencing so much emotional pain but my physical circumstances weren’t reflecting that,” Willow said.

Following her daughter’s talk, Smith, 46, opened up about what it was like to survive the loss of her close friend, Tupac Shakur.

“That was a huge loss in my life. Because he was one of those people that I expected to be here,” Smith admitted. “My upset is more anger because I feel like he left me – I really did believe that he was going to be here for the long run. So when I think about, I still get really mad. I get mad at God, I get mad at him, I get mad at everybody.”
