Jada Pinkett Smith is still hawking her memoir, Worthy<\/em>. She recently chatted with the Daily Mail\u2019s You Magazine about the book and, as always, the 2022 Oscar Slap. Real talk: while I think Jada would have always written her memoir, I think the Oscar Slap ended up reintroducing Jada to multiple audiences, and she decided to push forward with the memoir immediately after that. In this interview, she talks about how the slap saved her marriage and of course the Mail also name-checks Prince Harry. Some highlights:<\/p>\n The Oscar Slap helped her marriage:<\/strong> \u2018I nearly didn\u2019t even attend the Oscars that year, but I\u2019m glad I did. I call it the \u201choly slap\u201d now because so many positive things came after it. That moment of the s*** hitting the fan is when you see where you really are. After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will\u2019s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn\u2019t happened?\u2019<\/p>\n Psychedelics saved her life:<\/strong> In his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry described taking \u2018psychedelics\u2019 and in an interview said they were \u2018fundamental\u2019 to helping him deal with \u2018the traumas of the past\u2019. The Smith family home is an hour away from Harry and Meghan\u2019s in Montecito. Are they the friends she does it with? \u2018No, but I didn\u2019t know they did that. Good for them!\u2019 To be fair, there is no suggestion Meghan has tried them. <\/p>\n On Britney Spears\u2019 memoir:<\/strong> \u2018I think Britney\u2019s story and my story speak to people because women want to define themselves on their own terms, not just in relation to men. Why do you think I bought myself a \u201cwoman cave\u201d? Every woman needs a woman cave!\u2019<\/p>\n How her kids reacted to her buying a separate home:<\/strong> \u2018They knew I needed it. And besides, they are adults now. They know where to find me. They all have their own keys \u2013 even Will.\u2019<\/p>\n Whether fame & money are awful:<\/strong> \u2018They\u2019re not awful but our perceptions of what they can deliver are unrealistic. I mean, kale can be disastrous if it\u2019s all you eat, but it\u2019s also good stuff. We just need to amend what wealth and celebrity mean for the soul.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From The Daily Mail]<\/p>\n While I could take or leave Jada for the most part, the most I\u2019ve ever liked her is when she\u2019s talking about how much she loves living alone, in her own space, which she decorated herself. She sounds so happy now that she\u2019s gotten physical distance from Will and it ended up strengthening their marriage in some way. As for the Oscar Slap making her realize that she\u2019s ride-or-die for Will\u2026 I mean, I get why she feels that way, even if it\u2019s perfectly clear that they really should divorce. It\u2019s none of my business – except Jada is trying to make it our business – but I genuinely think Jada and Will would probably be happier if they just divorced. <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Avalon Red.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
