00:00 Over the years, Jada Pinkett Smith has made a lot of friends, but she's also made a lot
00:08 of enemies.
00:09 Here's a look at celebrities who dislike Jada Pinkett Smith, and I guess by default
00:15 her husband Will Smith.
00:22 So first we gotta look back at that candid moment on the red table talk where Jada Pinkett
00:26 Smith revealed that she had an entanglement with actor August Alsina during a separation
00:32 from her husband Will Smith.
00:37 And this confession from Jada stirred up a lot of controversy, especially after August
00:41 Alsina said that Will Smith gave his approval.
00:51 And later she echoed Gwyneth Paltrow's view on marriage.
00:55 This highlighted the danger of expecting a partner to be a mind reader, particularly
01:01 concerning intimacy.
01:05 And that's the backdrop here.
01:07 So this candid discussion sparked reactions, including 50 Cent commenting on the Smith's
01:14 relationship via his Instagram story.
01:17 And he added a caption saying this "Why she keep doing shit like this.
01:22 It makes relationship appear weak.
01:25 Just an entanglement.
01:26 Now this?
01:27 Come on.
01:28 WTF."
01:29 Next up we have Alexis Arquette.
01:32 So when we look back to 2016, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith made headlines when they
01:37 decided to boycott the Oscars due to the lack of black nominees in acting categories.
01:51 Will Smith explained the importance of diversity and how it's a vital part of what makes
01:57 America great.
01:59 While many people supported their decision, actor Alexis Arquette made a controversial
02:04 statement on Facebook suggesting that both Will and Jada were gay.
02:08 And she implied that their opinions on diversity would only matter if they actually came out.
02:13 And the Smiths didn't respond to this claim though, and Alexis Arquette later deleted
02:18 her post.
02:20 Apparently Chris Rock also disliked Jada Pinkett Smith.
02:24 In Chris Rock's Netflix special Selective Outrage, he openly criticizes Will and Jada
02:29 Smith, signaling a definitive end to their 26th year friendship.
02:37 The feud seems to trace back to 2016 when Chris hosted the Academy Awards, but the Smiths
02:43 had boycotted it due to a lack of diversity in nominations, and they supported the #OscarsSoWhite
02:50 movement.
02:51 And during the Oscars, Chris humorously mocked Jada's boycott, comparing it to him boycotting
02:57 Rihanna's panties.
02:59 He wasn't invited.
03:01 So yeah, this incident appears to have sparked the rift between them.
03:06 And prior to this, Jada and Chris had collaborated in the animated Madagascar trilogy, promoting
03:12 the films together worldwide between 2005 and 2012.
03:17 Not to mention the whole Oscars slap situation with Will Smith and Chris Rock.
03:23 Moving on now to Gabrielle Union.
03:26 Gabrielle Union and Jada Pinkett Smith both are prominent actresses, and they shared a
03:31 very strange dynamic for nearly two decades.
03:35 Despite frequently encountering each other at events and unexplained tension, it prevailed
03:43 between them.
03:44 Like, what was going on here?
03:45 But reflecting on their distant past, Jada Pinkett Smith said this, "She and I did
03:51 not talk for 17 years, and we could not remember why."
03:56 So attempting to mend the rift, she initiated a conversation with Gabrielle Union.
04:00 However, their efforts to pinpoint the root cause were useless, because Gabrielle Union
04:06 said, "When we got on the phone to try to figure out what it was, we could not figure
04:11 it out."
04:12 It appeared their animosity was rooted in youthful arrogance and pride, which are factors
04:18 common among rising stars in a competitive entertainment industry.
04:22 And acknowledging the past pettiness, Jada Pinkett Smith took the initiative to resolve
04:27 their differences by inviting Gabrielle Union to her show, Red Table Talk.
04:38 And during this conversation, Jada expressed her regret, recognizing the uselessness of
04:43 their past feud, and she admitted herself this, "Damn, Jada, that was some petty ass
04:51 shit."
04:52 And she also acknowledged that she had personally grown from there.
04:55 And Gabrielle Union also shared similar sentiments.
04:58 However, with time and maturity, you know, trying to overcome these obstacles, it's
05:03 definitely still unclear how close they actually are.
05:07 Even though they may have addressed, like, "Hey, we don't remember why we're feuding,"
05:11 doesn't mean that they're that close though.
05:13 So guys, this was just a brief look at some celebrities who dislike Jada Pinkett Smith.
