This is exactly it. There's no need to feel rage towards Jada but most people around her speak poorly of her. She has been caught lying, gaslighting and very importantly, being involved with her son's friend. Having on the show bad people who haven't learned from their tough lives just invalidates what others have lived because of her. She's caused to much damage to her family, it's irreparable. I wouldn't want a selfish person as such to get a platform to speak of themselves ina that's untrue and present themselves as "helping others or trying to share a sob story". This is not it. So many incredible people who have gone through so much and have accountability for their actions.

I hate judging people without having been in their shoes, but also hate the way she's publicly thrown a certain actor under the bus.

Jada knows nothing about dismantling her Ego. She single handedly ruined one of the greatest actors/musicians of all time. Anything she has to say is more than likely for her own benefit, cause that's the kind of person she is. It's always been about her, she cares not for whom she tramps on past or present.

I think fame has this effect on people. Because people hang on their every word, snap pictures of them, ask for autographs, they get this overblown idea of self as someone of high importance and ultimately act and become narcissistic. They are sheltered somewhat in Hollywood and they don't understand that outside of that unreal bubble their words come off hollow and totally revolving around self. Mayim does it too. She wasn't ever the pretty girl but she was the Hollywood star and the smart girl, so she obsesses over herself too but it comes off more neurotic to me than Jada, who I agree comes off like a narcissist. I also think Mayim is interested in the science of therapy whereas Jada loves to talk about herself. Honestly, when she talks I zone out, but I listen to Mayim even if she does remind me of neurotic person, we can all be neurotic sometimes. I would hate to sit and talk about myself for an hour it would be so boring to me but some people love to talk about themselves, clearly.

Ouch.

Mayim....I appreciated this interview and your courage to have it. Trauma and PTSD do paint a different picture in life and isn't always straight-forward- It is definitely complicated. It also affects people differently. This interview with Jada may have gave me a deeper insight into her journey and why she made certain decisions. I don't agree with all the decisions she's made, but I'm not Jada.....I do, however, understand trauma and felt she was being pretty raw and honest. Narcissists or borderlines don't typically set themselves up to be judged - they care more about image and blaming everyone else for their problems which is why they typically don't get help. The way she expressed being detached from the experience with her therapist is definitely part of coping with trauma. And it makes sense to me that she and Will decided to separate so they could step away from the patterns they had together. Deeper level stuff. Especially when she admitted that 99% ended up being what she caused in the relationship. Anyway, I got caught up in all the talk about Jada but this interview gave me a little more understanding. I know that's not a popular things to say right now but I wouldn't want you to shy away from other controversial guests...I think these interviews are important.

Jada has done so much lying and portraying the victim that she’s become an expert on drama. Her children, her marriage and her friendships are all suffering, because of her words and actions. We just listened to her as she dug herself into a hole deeper and deeper. No one had to speak out against her no one had to share their experience for me to say that I believe she is the most hurtful and arrogant woman in the business. So imma pass and wish there was a way to hide this podcast session. Prayers for the people she hurt. I didn’t look at the comments until I wrote mine. Just wanted to see if anyone else felt similar to how I feel….Jada has canceled herself and unfortunately I won’t ever support anything she is involved in. Btw I’m not going to be entertaining this episode and watching it.

Agreed, I tried to empathise and listen objectively but it’s word salad. On the most basic level it doesn’t make ANY sense at all. Her actions aren’t explained logically for anybody’s ear to make sense of. It was nonsense for 30 minutes and I’m out.

Loved Jonathan’s explanation of baselines and breakdowns. Spot on 👍🏻 Also the conversation about codependency was very helpful ❤

growing up alongside beloved people with a primal sort of deathwish and having lost someone to that force this year, it really is so powerful to acknowledge, i believe, how it's not the past why's that are the driving force before it. it's present-ing untransformed wounds of relationship and that really is one of the most change we as humans experience and can contribute to. possibility with that is endless even if for those who suffer that perceptual window of possibility closes in. really think hard truths don't get handed to us to burden us, hard truths illuminate for and with us where in-between shadow-spaces need to change, need light to pour in and out 🎃 witching onward! beautiful conversation. the rolodex in the head coming on!! love that image.

Me too. When she said she tried to get rid of Will for 6 years I was out.

I’m sorry, but I can’t believe anything that woman says. Next.

Emmm... No.

I dont see why youd give her a platform. At all. Come on Mayim.

Pass. Catch up with you on the next episode.

"What's lost?" - Answer: The present moment. "I'm the common denominator" and "It's an inside job," were my realizations a long time ago when I thought about all the crappy events in my life. Despite knowing this I'm still working on feeling worthy. I ask God/Source/Universe repeatedly to experience that unconditional love or "being in the bosom God". Still waiting for that experience. Thank you Mayim & Johnathan for this video. And thank you Jada.

This is remarkably important in terms of populations who aren’t culturally okayed to do therapy. As a white female therapist, I am aware that even the best of my knowledge and help can’t immediately reach minority populations by way of trust in the whole experience. And I completely respect and understand that. It’s a problem. Fear of therapy, stigma, distrust of cross-cultural therapy … it all makes sense.

I struggle to watch these because of all the ad reads 😅😅 do they also have ads if you don't have Premium? It would be completely unwatchable.

Love and support you, Mayim. Your work here and your sharing on all platforms is so needed, beautiful and powerful. TY for sharing your wisdom and your feelings.

​@@kerrimanes8292better than rest of Jada's interviews for the book.

I would give absolutely “nothing “to be in a relationship with this woman!😢

Jada needs to be real, and admit that she wasn't in love with Will. She also leaves out the fact that she was coming out of a relationship with ex-NBA player Grant Hill, whom later met and married R&B singer Tamia, and they've been married 25 years. This was around the time she said she felt suicidal (the first time). It sounds like it was a devastating break-up, because she never talks about it, but it's publicly documented. Will and Jada were on the rebound, but it still could've worked, if she had developed and fell in love with Will. That never happened, and that's when she got depressed again, because now she's living with regret. Her and Will also 'drank the kook-aid' of Scientology, which just confused them even more. The Black community noticed the shift in their personalities long ago, as we knew who Jada was before she got with Will (we loved her). We don't know who this woman is.

I was so struck by "I took my power back by taking responsibility".

It was terrible

I finally sat down and listened to her and I understand now. I get it. It's her ugly truth. She did her work and because she is famous, it's in the spotlight. I'm so proud that she also talked about proverty and "hood" PTSD... because that is so real

Thank you so much - I dropped some tears and it helped my introspections - some thematic & words Connections are a bless to my heart and brain - I needed to hear this testimony❤🦋

I am so happy that Jada found the almighty love of God. I hope she understands that God is everywhere and we can pray anytime, any place. He always hears us. No drugs, no churches are needed. Praying is like talking to our best friend (God) on the phone. He is always listening to us. He is always watching over us and loving us.

This guess really surprised me.

Honestly, I really love Mayim's podcast. I love Miss Mayim no matter what ❤ don't expect perfection, NOBODY IS PERFECT. There are really 2 sides of the story and we must see/listen to it before we judge someone. Think critically. Be open minded. Thank you for this episode Miss Mayim and Jonathan 🫶🏻 I learned a lot! I know this is outside of the episode but i just wanted to say this again to Miss Mayim, I really love you so much, no matter what happen, i will support you with all my heart ❤ Please take care 😊 Praying for all the people and for peace 🙏🏻

I'm thankful to all of you that shared your thoughts, having suffered through the video yourself. I think I'll skip this one.

Because it revolves around Will. She was just the wife along for the ride until she started falling apart from her depression. She suppressed her depression for decades because she thought she was saved by Will.

Also good example of mental illness,, also Will too. They both hurt each other in the past & this happened...

I can't listen to her, I just can't. Why give this person a platform?

Kinda crazy she still comes on for interviews with the “guru” persona when she’s constantly backtracking and changing up stories. I personally feel uneasy around people who can’t keep their stories straight.

It seems like she’s had that persona since before she married Will. Why do you think people were so entrapped by her. She’s was pretty cute but it’s not like she was a model. Her personality is what draws people in from the way she talks to the way she stares.

I feel so much needed to be said. I feel we Definitely unconsciously find a partner to help fix ourselves rather the us doing the job. Their should be a mandatory class anyone who wants to “marry”’con-exist” with another human should take to safe themselves of years of heartache. I feel this topic would be beneficial to learn more about. Thank you.

0oooo no mayim I hope having her on your show does not hurt you. You're an amazing person and there's been a lot going on with this woman and it probably wasn't the best to have her on your show hun I didn't know if you didn't do your research on what's going on with her or what, but she's not a really good person. She's very fake too and it's been lying so much. You really got to watch popcorn planet on her because they spilled all the tea and get all the right information. They're like the news but better like honest they do a lot of research and know a lot of important people to get the correct information.. Well this girl is nothing but bad news. Jada that is! I still got love for you mayim. I just feel maybe you didn't do your research on her. She wasn't even engaged 2 Tupac. He was engaged to somebody else. I was a huge fan of his huge fan in the time frames. Just don't match up to when she was saying that she got engaged to him because he was engaged to somebody else while he was in prison and she was way across the country. The thing is about this woman. She lies so much and you really should have done your research on her before having her on the show

She needs to cut her husband some slack instead of always shaming him in front of the cameras. She's disgusting.

Good-ness! I truly feel nothing for either one, I’m not invested in ‘stars n celebrities’ nor are there any pedastals in my life! Human are human all faults farts and foibles, you’re performing a JOB-period. IF-big point-IF the money is coming in, you’re in, if not-NEXT good try we’ll be in touch bye. As an old fart and empath, most actors, musicians are driven to be better, escape toxicity, leave behind the dysfunction, build their self up; self love self respect-hey I’m not shit and I’ll prove it. Very few are ‘mentally healthy’. Yes while everyone has something a little ‘different’ some issues, spending time to build up your ego while not doing self upliftment self improvement, come crashing down as it’s not sustainable, due to the foundation of yourself not being built. No one teaches this. Blind and bloodied and I’m gonna raise another human?!?! Alas, we do lol. 🤦‍♀️look, lemme sum it up-so beyond tired of people bein in my face every 3 seconds and ffs STFU all I hear is her narcissistic ways🤪. Seemingly you and a few others have through therapy, self healing and discovery, managed better than others. I don’t mean to malign anyone, but intelligence of a higher order helps🧐🤭love all you do and it all helps so very well thank you. I’ve pretty much been a ‘discerner’ rather than judge(at least not character) but actions and words can be changed. In jadas case-I’m judging🤭😳🤨🙏🏻

SMH. I understand this is a hot topic right now but why did you have to go there.

What a nightmare.

I kind of don’t like of don’t like her! She’s not a good person! If she really wanted to leave for 6 years as she claimed, what stopped her from doing so? That’s self inflicted pain and suffering. Forgive my grammar, I’m still learning the language!

I totally get what a number of people are saying in the comments cuz i hv been anti Jada for a long time. And after the slap even more so. That said this was the best interview as Mayim did a great job - i was a little concerned when she admired Jada’s roles etc. I think Jada was 80 - 90% truthful. Maybe not but she got to the point of understanding she was the problem not that Will had no part but she was being raw with herself. Now it’s what she does from her on end. I wish her luck. May she continue her progress & self observations & respect & love for those around her cuz it’s not just the awareness but the long term changes that happen.

This was a GREAT conversation/interview from start to finish including the commentary!!!! Very thought 💭 provoking and enlightening; especially if your open to listen to hear clearly and to then understand ♥️🙌🏽

🌟✨I knew Jada well before she married Will Smith, (A Different World, Jason's Lyric, Menace II Society, A Low Down Dirty Shame etc.) and I think people are forgetting that Will Smith isn't innocent. If Jada is as horrible a person as people like to say, then Will Smith is 10X's worse! He's a controlling narcissistic, egotistical, egomaniacal, "superstar" who tries to force his will on everyone in his life! I mean who the hell marries a woman, then falls in love with a different woman, but refuses to allow his wife to file for divorce from him because he doesn't "believe in divorce" despite the fact that he told his wife he's in love with someone else, then finally agrees to the divorce, then forces the woman he's "in love" with to marry him despite the fact that she's told him plenty of times she doesn't want to get married, and is not sure she even believes in marriage? You can't force people into lives they don't want and expect a happy outcome. And who did all of that? Will Smith. People need to open their eyes and realize in damaged, broken relationships, both of the people involved are damaged and broken, not just one of them.✨🌟

News flash: baldy doesnt care.

please hollywood stop putting this horrible person in a spotlight. enough is enough she does not deserve to be treated like a victim. toxic person is a toxic person.

This was hard to watch/listen too. While Jada spoke of taking personal responsibility, she never mentions how her actions have hurt other people. Not just Will, but everyone close to her. She talks about how she realizes she's part of the problem and working on it but never speaks on how. I don't follow celebrity news, I stopped finding it entertaining a long time ago, but what happened between her, and that young man should have been discussed further as that would have been a great example about how her actions had an impact on someone else, that is not Will. She still blames him and makes it sound as though she is trapped through "love and friendship". I don't know their relationship, no one does. However, a person can 100% influence the actions of another in public based on the interactions between them in private. "I didn't want to get divorced and then realize 5 years down the road I was the problem." "I tried for 6 years I'm never going to be rid of this man."

A fabulous episode. When I saw this uploaded last night, I thought “nah, I’ll give this one a miss” but I went back to it today and am so glad I did. A very insightful discussion that I’ve taken a lot away from. Really loved Mayim & Jonathan’s lengthy discussion at the end of this episode, would love more of this. This podcast is such a gift.

I love your show and watch religiously. I can't watch this but might come back for a different show. That woman has been abusive and cruel to her husband. The slap was so very clearly a trauma response that it broke my heart to see it. I do not support this woman or the pr campaign she's on that gives her validity and credence when less destructive men have been cancelled for less. Her race, her gender, her sex, and her status should not exempt her from the same standards.

I experienced a very similar relationship dynamic. I lost my spouse to suicide in 2016. A lot of things led up to it ,some known,some not. Being blamed and villanized is a truly horrible attack on a person’s character and there is literally nobody in the world you need to speak to about it than the person that is not there. Emotionally disconnecting is not so different.

strong pass full-stop

I don’t know why everyone hates Jada and Will Smith since the slap incident. I did respect Jada since she appear in Gotham series and I did also respect her husband since The fresh prince of bel air and Men in Black. Keep it up, Mayim. Do a video with Will Smith as well (don’t tell Chris Rock I said that)
