Fans are convinced that the media blitz surrounding Jada Pinkett Smith and her newly released memoir “Worthy” has begun to take a toll on her.
For weeks now, the actress has been dropping revelatory bombshells about her marriage to Will Smith, her “soul mate” Tupac Shakur, and her rough upbringing in Baltimore, Maryland. Her dizzying tales have, at times, been too much for the public, which has been straddling the fence between ones who love her openness and those who are ready for her to take everyone out of the group chat.

The 52-year-old newly minted author has appeared on several podcasts and televised interviews, including an NBC News special where she revealed that she and Will have been separated since 2016. In conjunction with her time in front of the camera, she also has been trekking across the country on a book tour, where even more intimate details about her life have been shared.
Her Oct. 23 stop — an intimate conversation with readers — at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta brought out a slew of familiar faces, including reality TV personalities, music industry figures, and other public figures. Photos that surfaced online showed Jada flanked by Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, Shamea Morton and Yandy Smith, to name a few.
“Yes Queens support one anotherGood Bad Or Indifferent,” and “All the messy ladies came out for the messiest lady right now they looked good tho,” read two comments. The “Red Table Talk” host was dressed in a silk gold zip-up blouse, cream-colored pants, and a pair of sneakers in the photos.

While several users took notice of Pinkett Smith’s semi-dressed-up casual attire, others were taken aback by her perceived low energy. One observer wrote: “Jada looks like the road is ROUGH!!!” while another said, “Jada ok she looks like she barely stand up or tired.” A third added, “Jada looks like she wants to gooo home.”
Prior to bringing her tour to Atlanta, the “Matrix” star returned to her hometown, where her husband of 23 years made an appearance that stunned the crowd. His show of support for his “best friend” included making his first in-depth comment about their relationship since the revelation of their separation.
“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” said the Oscar winner. He went on to describe his marriage to Jada as a beautiful but brutal and sloppy “experiment” in unconditional love.
Will, who penned his own memoir, “Will,” in 2022, and his longtime wife may have more layers to peel back as they consider co-authoring a book about their unconventional love story. A tentative title for the project is “Don’t Try This At Home.”
