Stephen A. Smith has criticized Jada Pinkett-Smith, suggesting that her recent actions undermine Will Smith’s masculinity. The ESPN commentator posted a video on his Instagram account over the weekend, expressing his concerns and calling on Jada to change her behavior.
In the video, Smith began by addressing various aspects of their personal life, including Jada’s involvement with her son’s friend and her marriage issues. He emphasized that these are matters within their marriage, but he raised a concern about the public emasculation he perceives.
“You want to mess with some dude that’s your son’s friend? 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,” Smith stated.
He then went on to highlight the negative impact he believes this public discourse is having on Will Smith. Smith expressed his discomfort with the way Jada talks about her husband in the public eye and urged her to stop the public emasculation.
Smith concluded by emphasizing that both Jada and Will are kings, deserving of respect, and that they shouldn’t treat each other in a way that undermines their dignity and masculinity.
In recent weeks, Jada Pinkett-Smith has been making headlines for revelations about her marriage and personal life as part of her upcoming memoir’s promotional tour. She discussed the dynamics of her marriage with Will Smith, including their separate living arrangements for the past seven years and her previous engagement to Tupac Shakur while he was incarcerated in 1995.
