Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Informative and several other accolades holder talk show Red Table Talk has been the source of the revelation of secrets of many celebrities since its inception in 2018.
The Facebook Watch show has now expanded over five seasons with 129 episodes while Jada Pinkett Smith being a host for a long period of time. The show discusses several social issues including mental health, bullying, and domestic violence.
Jada Pinkett Smith Said She Was Betrayed By Her Girlfriend
Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she was once betrayed by one of her closest girlfriends. It was a big revelation for Smith as the actor went on to discuss the theme of the episode Why Are Women Mean to Each Other? The actor revealed that she has closely witnessed the effect of the mean girl syndrome and it was devastating for her.
The episode was dedicated to diving deep into jealousy and trust among women. The guests and the host in Red Table Talk were deeply concerned about the issue and cherished the relationship of friendship and trust that comes with it.
But Smith was far from forgetting the ultimate betrayal she felt when her girlfriend almost put the actor in trouble.
“I had a girlfriend who brought some dudes to my house who stole my I.D. and got my name caught up in a credit card scam. Somebody who was close to me trying to take me out!”
Smith has been conflicted with the trust issue ever since. But in the show, they went on to the core of such behavior and why it is prevalent even in today’s day and age while attempting to find an answer to a solution for that.
Jada Pinkett Smith Was All Praise for Sisterhood of Jemele Hill and Cari Champion
Former ESPN show host Jemele Hill and Cari Champion have graced the Red Table Talk and discussed how the duo initially could not stand each other while working on the network. The duo went on to become closest friends later and left ESPN to host their own show Stick to Sports on Vice.
Hill and Champion’s friendship has been commendable as the duo has supported each other. The duo then discussed workplace toxicity about how their colleagues tried to separate them speaking mean things behind their backs. But they were thankful that all those toxicity eventually fell short when they decided to be best of friends.
Smith was all praise for the celebration of their sisterhood while addressing the workplace environment. Smith said in the show,
“I think in a lot of environments that we get into as black female professionals, unfortunately, we made to believe there can be only one. It’s like, ‘we only have room for one.”
“I was talking to one of our young producers here. One of the things that she brought up is the idea of survival over sisterhood. Survival before sisterhood. And this is one of those instances where you were like, ‘no no, we can survive and be sisters.’”
The actor also said that the idea of begging the world to see black women “in a certain manner” is frustrating when they can not offer that to themself but she is hopeful that this will be resolved when they come together in unity.
