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.
