Stephen A. Smith criticizes Jada Pinkett-Smith for what he perceives as actions that undermine Will Smith’s masculinity.
Over the weekend, the renowned ESPN commentator shared a video on his Instagram account in which he “begged” the actor to stop treating her husband as she currently is.
“You want to mess with some dude that’s your son’s friend?” Smith began. “As trifling as that may seem in people’s eyes, that’s your damn business. You want to break up with your husband and all of this stuff? That’s your damn business.”
He added, “But this public emasculation needs to stop. Jada, all you’re doing is elevating the level of vitriol coming your way. Because it don’t matter what you say. There’s nothing you can say to a man to justify what you have done to Will Smith. Every time I see Jada Pinkett Smith talk about Will Smith, I cringe. We kings. We ain’t here like to be treated like that.”
For the past week, Jada has been on a press run for her upcoming memoir in which she made several revelations about her marriage to Will Smith and her late friend, Tupac Shakur. During a recent interview, the actress said she was confused at why Will referred to her as his “wife” when they hadn’t used that term to describe each other for quite some time. This revelation follows her earlier disclosure that they have, in fact, been living separately for the past seven years. Additionally, Jada also revealed that Tupac proposed to her while he was incarcerated in 1995.
