Jada Pinkett And Marc Anthony Out Of A Job As TNT Cancels HawthoRNe

Update-Jada Pinkett Smith and Marc Athony are both out of a job as TNT cancels HawthoRNe after three seasons. According to EW, TNT stated in a released statement,

“TNT truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved,” the network said in a statement.”

The cancellation comes on the heels of   rumors that Marc Anthony’s alleged infidelity in his broken marriage to Jennifer Lopez was in part due to his inappropriately close relationship with Hawthorne co-star Jada Pinkett Smith.

Jada is not exactly immune to tabloid gossip either.   Rumors circulated that her marriage to celebrity powerhouse Will Smith was apparently on the rocks as well.   However, those rumors were quickly put to rest as the couple was spotted out engaged in intimate PDA while laughing off the divorce speculations.

Marc and Jada’s alleged inappropriate relationship stems from their time on set of the TNT series Hawthorne, where Marc plays Jada’s love interest.   According to US Magazine, sources revealed that although the two may not have had a full, blown-out affair; they were certainly involved in what one might call a fairly “inappropriately close” friendship.

The source also revealed that they were often caught hanging out alone in Anthony’s trailer and talked or texted frequently.

“They were a little touchy, like they were in their own little world.”

When Anthony’s marriage to Jlo slowing began deteriorating; the source claims that Anthony more frequently sought console from co-star Jada.

“The more distant Marc and Jennifer became, the closer he got to Jada”

The family insider also added that Jada may have well overstepped her bounds by lending Anthony marital advice.

Both Jada and Marc have denied any involvement with each other – now with the show’s cancellation will the rumors go away?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
