Will Smith has a humiliation fetish, right? Like that has to be the only explanation.

    In a bombshell new interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she and Will Smith have been living “completely separate lives” since 2016. “It was not a divorce on paper, but it was a divorce,” she confirmed to Kotb of the couple’s separation seven years ago.

    That means Jada and Will, who married in 1997, were separated not only during the infamous 2022 Oscars slap, during which Will called Jada his “wife,” but also throughout Jada’s entire “entanglement” with R&B singer August Alsina.

    As to why the couple put themselves through all of this very public scrutiny while still maintaining this giant secret, Jada said they were “just not... ready yet” to go public with the separation. “[We are] still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership, in regards to how do we present that to people, you know? And we hadn’t figured that out.”


    I'm not trying to kink shame here, but it's not cool to force the rest of us to participate as witnesses without our consent. That's the bad kind of fetish play. :nono:

    Weren't you just saying something about "going outside to touch grass" recently?

    I don't know if you've checked the news lately, but it's been a grim week, and it's only Wednesday.

    If there's a chance we can all come together in harmony and laugh at a pathetic cuckold or whatever Will Smith's deal is now, I think we deserve that kind of break. :async:

    Smith stated in an interview in 2012 that the only reason he wanted to be the #1 box office draw in the world is so no one he loved would ever leave him.

    Somebody hurt this guy BAD when he was young.

    Also reminds me of his gig in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when he improv'd a screed about why his father didn't want him. It was brilliant. But maybe he wasn't acting.

    I don't condone him losing his shit and slapping Chris Rock, but sounds like Jada Pinkett Smith is the last person he should have ever gotten involved with.

    I am not surprised that you think laughing at another’s misfortune is relaxing and an appropriate way to pass your downtime.

    I'm not surprised at which two posters seem personally offended that I'm joking about a humiliation fetish being the basis for a romantic relationship. :bergman:

    The legend goes that Smith actually broke down during that scene because it hit too close to home.
    Yeah, she's very clearly mentally and emotionally abusive. There's an oft repeated joke that being with her is the one bullet Tupac dodged. :(

    Non traditional partnerships or parenting relationships do not deserve mockery simply for being non traditional.

    How the kids are doing should be the most important issue here.

    Unless someone's kink is being shamed, in which case they should feel terrible about it. :yes:

    I wouldn't make fun of it if it was a healthy non-traditional relationship, but it's sooooo unhealthy. I honestly feel more sympathy/pity for Will than anything. :(

    Popper's Paradox of Kink Shaming covers that, I believe.

    I'm pretty sure the reason this came up is not because they have a non-traditional relationship but because Will Smith had a violent breakdown in front of a billion people.

    Clearly Will has not handled this well.

    Ah, here it is.



    I misremembered. It was 2016.

    Will starts about the 9:40 mark.

    His first girlfriend cheated on him, and he vowed that he'd be the #1 actor in the world so no one would ever cheat on him. Ach.

    Yes, I realize having someone like me point out your horrific statements then calling you a liar when you suggest it was a joke must be embarrassing for you, but I’ll continue to do so anyway.

    It's the violent breakdown, but also how she insists on undermining and humiliating him publicly to elevate herself. It's not just cruel, it's bad business when he's the major earner for the household and she keeps puncturing his "funny easygoing guy" and "tough action star" public personas that sustain most of his career and fund her lifestyle.

    Damn. What a table. Sir Michael Caine, Samuel L Jackson and Benicio del Toro (Mark Ruffalo gets honorable mentions)…

    Thanks for the share will have to watch the whole thing later.

    Totally agree with you here... kinda sad that Smith wound up in such an emotionally abusive situation that seems to repeat past cycles for him. Even sadder that for all the confidence he's portrayed over the years that he's still motivated by that insecurity over abandonment issues.
    Kinda fits with the archetypes though... being drawn to narcissists who'll use occasional validation as a "reward" then withhold.

    I doubt Will gives a flying fuck about any of this. There are rumors of him bumping uglies w Margot Robbie in 2015-16… but it’s quiet. So if they’ve been separated since 2016, it sort of tracks. If she’s out here trying to humiliate Will, I believe it’s a deep rooted plea for attention.
