Will Smith breaks his silence over Jada Pinkett Smith's controversial memoir

Will Smith breaks his silence on his wife’s bombshell tell-all “Worthy,” which reveals the couple has been separated for seven years. In an email sent to The New York Times, the actor admitted that the book woke him up, noting the actress had “lived a life more on the edge than he’d realized, and she is more resilient, clever and compassionate than he’d understood.”

“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” the Oscar winner wrote.

On the other hand, Pinkett Smith appeared on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, where the host also read a letter to her written by Smith. “I applaud and honour you,” Shetty read the letter in a clip shared by The Associated Press on social media. “If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would’ve hugged you more.”

“I’ll start now – Welcome to the Authors Club,” the letter continued. “I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.” In response, Pinkett Smith laughed and said, “He knows I can’t have no Merlot,” she replied before getting emotional. “That’s beautiful.”

“That’s why I can’t divorce that joker,” she added. Smith has chosen to make light of the frenzy around Pinkett Smith’s memoir, which hits bookshelves on Oct. 17.

On Sunday, the “Fresh Prince” turned to Instagram and shared a clip of himself on a ship. He was seen lying down below deck, bundled up and seemingly at ease with his arms crossed and eyes shut.

“Fun fact about me,”

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s secret separation

Jada Pinkett Smith and husband Will Smith have lived “completely separate lives” since 2016, she revealed in an interview with Hoda Kotb. The prominent Hollywood couple married in 1997 and have addressed separations and marital troubles, but never this specifically.

Though it’s not a legal divorce, Pinkett Smith told Kotb in a clip released Wednesday on “Today” that it is essentially a divorce without papers. Smith and Pinkett Smith share two children, Willow and Jaden, as well as a son, Trey, from Smith’s first marriage. The news came as a surprise to many, considering Pinkett Smith’s candor in her “Red Table Talk” series, in which she and Smith addressed her extramarital relationship in an episode in 2020, and the  slap at the 2022 Academy Awards. At the ceremony, Smith infamously walked up on stage and struck presenter Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s hair.
