Actor Will Smith has broken his silence regarding his estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s upcoming memoir, ‘Worthy’. The book, set to release on October 17, candidly delves into the couple’s troubled marriage and subsequent separation, shedding light on intimate details that have kept the public intrigued for years.
In an email to the New York Times, Smith revealed that reading ‘Worthy’ was a profound experience. He stated, “The book woke me up. When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in. You can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.” Smith expressed his newfound appreciation for Pinkett Smith, acknowledging her resilience, cleverness, and compassion that he hadn’t fully grasped before.
‘Worthy’ chronicles Pinkett Smith’s journey of self-discovery and healing, including her relationship with Smith, whom she married in 1997. The couple shares two children, Willow and Jaden. The memoir openly discusses their separation since 2016 and the challenges they faced in trying to salvage their marriage.
One of the most shocking incidents detailed in the memoir is the infamous “Oscars slap” of 2022. Pinkett Smith recounts the incident when Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Academy Awards after a joke about her alopecia-related hair loss. Smith’s actions led to his resignation from the Academy and a 10-year ban from its events.
Despite their separation, Smith expressed support for Pinkett Smith’s bravery in sharing her truth with the world. He praised her honesty and courage, hoping that ‘Worthy’ would inspire others to find their own worthiness and happiness.
Smith’s public acknowledgment of Pinkett Smith’s memoir has sparked conversations about relationships, self-discovery, and resilience, resonating with readers of all ages. Stay tuned for the release of ‘Worthy’, a book that promises to inspire and empower readers to embrace their own stories of worthiness and truth.
