During an on-stage conversation on Monday night, Jada Pinkett Smith said some more things about her marriage.
Video transcript: “So we've been willing to do work together. After the Oscars, that's when we did some really deep work together. And when I was sitting at the Oscars, it clicked in. As soon as I was like, ‘Oh snap, you hit Chris?' I was like, 'I’m riding with you'. I didn’t come into this place as your wife, but I’m leaving here as your wife because we got a storm we’re going to have to deal with together. I am not gonna leave your side.”
She also said Will and the kids (Trey, Jaden and Willow) gave permission to include anything about their lives in her memoir, and Will read the book before Jada gave it to her editor, but didn't change anything.
Pinkett Smith explained “[Will] was like, ‘You haven’t been able to have your authentic voice...I will be comfortable with whatever you want to share, I trust you.”
