Jada Pinkett Smith opens up about her ‘unhealthy relationship’ with porn on Red Table Talk

The actress has admitted that she had a "porn addiction"

Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about her “unhealthy relationship” with porn, during her Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk.

The actress, who is married to Will Smith, was joined by their 18-year-old daughter Willow, and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones for the discussion.

The 47-year-old admitted: “Back in the day I had a little porn addiction, but I wasn’t in a relationship when I had a porn addiction, thank goodness.”

“I actually feel like I was using ‘addiction’ a little lightly and maybe I’ll say now that I had an unhealthy relationship to porn at one point in my life where I was trying to practice abstinence.”

“It was actually like filling an emptiness, at least you think it is… But it’s actually not.”

Jada also revealed that Willow came across porn on Tumblr with her friends when she was “around 11.”

Jada said: “Willow was very matter of fact, she said, ‘I’m going to my Tumblr page but as we’re going to the Tumblr page you’re going to see a lot of stuff. This has nothing to do with me.'”

“So she’s just scrolling, scrolling. And when I tell you I saw some of the most hardcore pornography on Tumblr… I can’t believe kids are exposed to this. I was profoundly disturbed!”

Willow’s grandmother Adrienne was clearly uncomfortable with the topic, as she said, “I cannot believe that I’m having this conversation with my daughter and granddaughter!”
