Jada Pinkett & Will Smith Address August Alsina Affair On ‘The Red Table Talk’

Jada Pinkett Confirms Relationship With August Alsina On The ‘Red Table Talk’

Jada Pinkett Smith and August Alsina have been on the news since August’s interview with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club where the R&B star made explosive revelation about his alleged romance with Jada that left people shocked.

Jada Pinkett Smith initially denied the claims via her rep, promising to shed some light on the ‘Red Table Talk’ and Will Smith also denied giving August his blessing.

Today, the couple drop their latest “Red Table Talk” episode in which they discuss everything Alsina alleged, confirming that the relationship did happened. But it was while she was separated from Will Smith.

“One of the things I want to clear up that was kind of swirling in the press was you giving permission, which the only person who can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself,” Jada said.

“But what August was actually trying to communicate, because I could actually see how he would perceive it as permission because we were separated amicably.. I think he also wanted to make it clear that he’s not a homewrecker, which he’s not.”

Jada Pinkett emphasized on the fact that she and Will were actually separated at the time and it seemed as though they wouldn’t get back together. That’s when she started to get into a relationship with Alsina that eventually ended soon after.

“I would definitely say that we tried everything we could to get away from each other, only to realize that that wasn’t possible,” Jada said, adding that she and Alsina have not spoken since their break-up.

The celebrity couple made it known that this whole relationship took place about four and a half years ago. Will Smith also noted that he never gave Alsina his blessing and that it was simply Jada’s decision, seeing as they were no longer together at the time.

After some years of being apart, Will and Jada eventually got back together and as they say, they have never loved each other more.

The couple also addressed the odd-timing of Alsina’s allegation, noting that he hasn’t had contact with the family in years. Listen to the them below:
