Willow Smith Revealed Exactly What She Thinks Of Will and Jada’s Unusual Marriage

On an episode of Red Table Talk, you know the conversation is going to be honest. Yep, the Smith women aren’t afraid of speaking their minds – even if that means feelings get hurt in the process. And Willow Smith definitely brought that same energy as she discussed the fallout of a very public family scandal. The only question? Whether mom Jada could deal with the home truths her daughter dished out about her marriage.

We’d not sure we’d be so, well, truthful with our own parents. But then the Smiths aren’t your ordinary clan, and that’s not just because they’re super-famous. Few families would be willing to sit down and talk candidly about subjects as thorny as death, addiction and consent, like Willow, Jada and Jada’s mom Adrienne Banfield-Norris have done on Red Table Talk. And when there’s real tea to be spilled, the hit Facebook Watch show is practically compulsive viewing.

That was the case in September 2020, when the three women got together for another heart-to-heart. The subject up for debate this episode? The broad – but intriguing – “Life-changing Lessons.” And the special guest was none other than Brené Brown – a woman who knows a thing or two about what it’s like to leave yourself exposed and open to attack.

Perhaps Brown’s name sounds familiar. Day to day, she works as a professor at the University of Houston, where she specializes in social care, and as a visiting professor teaching management skills at the University of Texas. Where you may recognize her from, however, is the viral TEDxHouston Talk she gave. “The Power of Vulnerability” has touched and illuminated millions since it hit the internet back in 2010.

And when Brown shared her wisdom on the show, emotions were in full flow. All three generations of Smith women let loose, in fact, although that’s pretty par for the course on Red Table Talk. But there was a relatively new elephant in the room: the revelation that Jada had had an affair with musician August Alsina. Yes, Willow definitely had something to say about that subject.
