In a resurfaced video from Jada Pinkett Smith’s show Red Table Talk, she recalled ‘crying down the freaking aisle’ at her ‘horrible’ wedding to Will Smith.
The 2018 episode has started circulating online where the actor appeared as a guest and his wife insisted that she ‘never wanted to get married.’
In the resurfaced clip, Jada discussed her reservations about marriage and revealed that she decided to marry Will to placate her mother after she got pregnant.
Jada and Will conceived their son Jaden while they were still dating.
“I knew the moment after the act that I was pregnant,” Jada said on the show. She also revealed that she ‘cried the whole night’ as she realized that ‘my life was never gonna be the same.’
“I really didn’t wanna get married,” she admitted, prompting her husband to say with a laugh: “We only got married because Gammy was crying.”
“It was almost as if Gammy was like: ‘You have to get married, so let’s talk about the wedding,’” Jada said, adding that “I was under so much pressure, you know, being a young actress, being young, and I was just like pregnant and I just, I was just like, I didn’t know what to do, but I just knew, I was like, I never wanted to be married.”
Adrienne, who was a teen when she became pregnant with Jada and tied the knot with Robsol Pinkett Jr., said: “I remember feeling very strongly and wanting you guys to be married.
“I do remember that but I don’t remember your rejection of the idea of marriage. I remember the rejection of the idea of a wedding but not of a marriage.”
Jada then agreed and said she never wanted a wedding either. “And now Gammy done gone to Will crying about I don’t want a wedding, and now I’m being forced to have a wedding, when really I just wanted it to be the two of us on a mountain, cause I was like: ‘This is serious business.’”
Adrienne then apologized that she didn’t ‘respect your wishes,’ admitting that she was being ‘selfish’ for pushing the ceremony as Jada was ‘my only child.’
Jada and Will tied the knot while she was three months pregnant and sick.
“And I was so upset that I had to have a wedding – I was so pissed I went crying down the freaking aisle. I cried the whole way down the aisle,” Jada recalled.
Will, who was very happy at their wedding, said: “There wasn’t a day in my life that I wanted anything other than being married and having a family. From literally five years old, I was picturing what my family would be.”
