Jada Pinkett Smith Shares Sad Revelation About Relationship With Her Mom

Adrienne Banfield-Norris and Jada Pinkett Smith have always appeared to be close. Since 2018, the mother-daughter combination has been co-hosting Facebook’s “Red Table Talk,” where they have been sharing intimate family secrets to viewers. According to the New York Post, a stunning clip from the show’s archives resurfaced in April, in which Jada revealed that she and husband Will Smith only married because Gammy [Banfield-Norris] was weeping. “I was under so much pressure, you know, being a young actress, and I was just, like, pregnant and I didn’t know what to do,” Jada added at the roundtable, which also included her mother, Will, and their daughter Willow.

Indeed, Jada and Banfield-Norris’ Facebook discussion show resembles a family therapy session. Banfield-Norris also admitted to Jada that she has had “non-consensual sex” with the “Gotham” alum’s father, Robsol Pinkett Jr. (via People) in another shocking admission. “I knew from a young age that my mother and father had a really violent relationship,” Jada remarked in the same episode, revealing that she had always observed “a couple scars” on her mother’s body.

There was one strangely absent ingredient during Jada’s youth for a mother and daughter whose relationship has obviously suffered the worst (and survived).

Jada Pinkett Smith wishes she and her mother had hugged more frequently when she was younger. While interviewing author Kelly McDaniel, who wrote “Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal From Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance,” Jada and Adrienne Banfield-Norris acknowledged a deficiency in their former connection on a recent episode of “Red Table Talk.” “One of the things that was really absent in my relationship with my mother and with Jada was just touch,” Banfield-Norris stated in a videotape acquired by E! News.

With Jada confirming the lack of funds, “”It’s strange since we didn’t embrace in our family,” Banfield-Norris said of her childhood cuddles. We knew we were loved, but it wasn’t in the way we expected “(According to the New York Post). “It felt so lovely to be able to have that,” the 68-year-old tells granddaughter Willow Smith warmly. “I missed it with Jada,” Banfield-Norris expressed regret.

Banfield-Norris, on the other hand, was far from an absent mother. According to People, Jada revealed how Banfield-Norris “saved [her] life again” during the same episode when she warned her against boarding a stranger’s boat in Italy. Jada, who was “ready to hop on that boat,” was jolted awake by her mother’s warning that “if something happens to you, nobody’s going to hear you.” She reflected, “‘Oh, snap, Mom,’ I said. ‘You are correct.'”
