In the midst of swirling rumors and public scrutiny, Jada Pinkett Smith has taken a firm stand against critics who accuse her of oversharing about her marriage to Will Smith. Addressing recent comments by Ana Navarro of "The View," who labeled her actions as "emasculating" towards her husband, Pinkett Smith suggested that critics hadn't done their homework.
Speaking on "The Breakfast Club," Pinkett Smith emphasized the importance of understanding the context beyond headlines. "If you wanna just read headlines, I could see how that could be confusing. But the book is right here," she pointed out. Her stance is clear: those critical of her openness about their marriage haven't fully grasped the situation.
Navarro's criticisms on "The View" centered around Pinkett Smith's apparent candidness in discussing her relationship while promoting her new book, "Worthy." Navarro voiced discomfort with the level of personal details being shared publicly, remarking, "Why do I know so much about these people's marriage?"
Amidst the discussions about their marriage, a new rumor surfaced alleging a sexual relationship between Will Smith and actor Duane Martin. This claim, which was vehemently denied by a representative for Will, was addressed by Jada in the same "Breakfast Club" interview. Displaying her characteristic forthrightness, Jada labeled the rumor as "ridiculous" and "nonsense," revealing that she and Will found humor in the absurdity of the situation.
"You have to because it's absolutely ridiculous," Jada explained, underscoring their approach to dealing with such false allegations. She revealed that they intend to take legal action against the source of these claims, emphasizing the distinction between opinions and the fabrication of malicious stories.
This united front comes as the Smiths near their 26th wedding anniversary. A source close to the family informed PEOPLE that Will and Jada have long dealt with and dismissed such innuendos and rumors. They remain committed to taking a stand against what they see as attempts to exploit their fame.
In her book "Worthy," Jada delves into the speculation surrounding both her and Will's sexuality, expressing frustration at the outrageousness of some claims. She candidly wrote about her own experiences and preferences, clarifying misconceptions about her sexual orientation.
Jada's recent statements and actions highlight her resolve to confront misinformation head-on and maintain transparency about her life, even in the face of public criticism. It is a stance that reflects both her personal strength and the resilience of her relationship with Will Smith.
