“I had an unhealthy relationship with p*rn”: Jada Smith Revealed Her P*rn Addiction Interfered in Her Quest for Abstinence When She Wasn’t With Will Smith
There is no way money can buy all happiness or solve every problem, but Jada Smith found another way to resolve her problems when she was young, no matter how large or small. Hollywood stars often face substantial downfalls in their careers, and everyone has their own coping methods for these situations. Still, many celebrities find it difficult and trap themselves in a difficult situation. During an interview in her show with her mother and daughter, Will Smith’s wife once opened up about her addictions, which made her feel guilty about the situation she found herself in.
Among her addictions, she talked about her p*rn addiction, which hindered her journey towards abstinence. While Jada Pinkett Smith surprised her fans with her steamy revelations, she was pretty relieved that she was not in any relationships when she was addicted to such a habit.
Jada Smith Opened Up About Her P*rn Addiction
A candid discussion about all three women’s relationships with p*rnography occurred between Jada Pinkett Smith, her 22-year-old daughter Willow Smith, and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, on their show Facebook Watch’s Red Table Talk in 2019.
While talking to her daughter, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she used to suffer from p*rn addiction.
Smith said,
“If I was still on my p*rn game, I’d be able to show you some good p*rn ‘cause back in the day I had a little p*rn addiction, but I wasn’t in a relationship when I had a p*rn addiction, thank goodness.”
“I actually feel like I was using ‘addiction’ a little lightly and maybe I’ll say now that I had an unhealthy relationship to p*rn at one point in my life where I was trying to practice abstinence. It was actually like filling an emptiness, at least you think it is…But it’s actually not.”
Will Smith’s daughter later admitted that she began viewing p*rnography online when she was about 11 years old. During their conversation, the Girls Trip star stated that she was aware her daughter was exposed to “hardcore p*rn” through Tumblr. Red Table Talk is an entertaining show hosted by Will Smith’s daughter, wife, and mother-in-law in his family house. These three generations of women discuss a series of candid discussions about today’s most pressing issues.
Will Smith’s Wife’s Other Bizarre Addictions In The Race To Solve Her Problems
According to Jada Pinkett Smith, she has struggled with several addictions throughout her life, including s*x addiction and drug substance. According to Pinkett Smith, in a 2018 episode of the Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk, she discussed her s*x addiction with her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, who was addicted to heroin at the time of her growing age.
Pinkett Smith said,
“My sort of addictions jump. They jump around. When I was younger, I definitely think I had a s*x addiction of some kind, yes, that everything could be fixed by s*x. You know what I’m saying?”
She added,
“I remember reaching rock bottom that time I was in the house by myself and I had those two bottles of wine and was going for the third bottle. And I was like, ‘Now hold up. You’re in this house by yourself, going onto your third bottle of wine? You might have a problem.’”
In addition to her addiction to s*x, Will Smith’s wife shared that she had a drinking problem for some time and her addiction to the gym.
Smith continued,
“So I went cold turkey. That’s the thing about me: I can go cold turkey. I am a binger, and I always have to watch myself and I can just get obsessed with things. It’s not what you’re doing but how you’re with it. Why you’re doing it. It’s the behavior that’s attached to it because if you want to have a lot of s*x, that’s great, but why are you having all that s*x? That’s what you’ve got to look at.”
There is no information received during their interview regarding how Pinkett Smith dealt with her addictions, so it is unclear whether she used therapy or other addiction management methods. Although, she did emphasize that she was determined to identify the root cause of the behavior that she seems to be out of control, including her s*xual dependency.
