Jada Pinkett Smith recalled ‘crying down the freaking aisle’ at her ‘horrible’ shotgun wedding to Will Smith in a resurfaced clip from her show Red Table Talk.
Will, 53, is awaiting a decision from the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Scientists about his potential penalty for slapping Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars over a joke he made about Jada.
Now a 2018 episode of Red Table Talk has begun circulating online where Will appeared as a guest and Jada insisted she ‘never wanted to get married.’
Will has been a guest multiple times on the talk show, which Jada hosts with her mother Adrienne ‘Gammy’ Banfield-Norris and daughter Willow Smith.
Since then Will has argued in GQ that ‘marriage for us can’t be a prison’ and revealed ‘Jada never believed in conventional marriage.’
Jada herself discussed her reservations about marriage in the resurfaced Red Table Talk episode from 2018, revealing that she decided to tie the knot with Will in order to placate her mother after getting pregnant.
Will and Jada conceived their son Jaden while they were still dating and Jada said on the show:
‘I knew the moment after the act that I was pregnant.’
She revealed she ‘cried that whole night’ because she realized that ‘my life was never gonna be the same’ after she became a mother.
‘I really didn’t wanna get married,’ Jada confessed, prompting Will to say with a laugh: ‘We only got married because Gammy was crying.’
‘It was almost as if Gammy was like: “You have to get married, so let’s talk about the wedding,”‘ said Jada, noting that ‘I was under so much pressure, you know, being a young actress, being young, and I was just like pregnant and I just, I was just like, I didn’t know what to do, but I just knew, I was like, I never wanted to be married.’
