Nick Cannon Drops New Details on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Control Over Will Smith

It looks like Nick Cannon is not a fan of Jada Pinkett Smith, and he’s not alone. Many people believe that Jada has been mistreating Will Smith for years, but unlike regular fans who speculate from the outside, Nick Cannon claims to have inside knowledge. Now, he’s finally speaking up, shedding light on just how much control Jada allegedly has over Will.

The Downfall of Hollywood’s Power Couple

Once upon a time, Will and Jada were considered one of Hollywood’s most admired power couples. They were celebrated for maintaining a strong marriage despite the pressures of fame. However, their seemingly unbreakable bond started to unravel in 2020, when the now-infamous “entanglement” scandal surfaced.

Singer August Alsina revealed that he had been romantically involved with Jada for years and claimed that Will had given his blessing for the relationship. Social media exploded with reactions, and while both Will and Jada faced scrutiny, Jada took most of the heat. The controversy intensified when it was revealed that August had been living with the Smiths while battling personal and health struggles. Even more unsettling was the fact that he had been friends with Jaden Smith, making the situation even more awkward.

During an episode of Red Table Talk, Jada and Will attempted to clarify the situation. Jada admitted to her “entanglement” but insisted it had happened during a period of separation. However, the damage was already done. Fans started to view their marriage differently, questioning whether Jada had ever truly respected Will.

Jada’s Alleged Disrespect Toward Will

One of the biggest revelations that fueled backlash against Jada was her admission that she never actually wanted to marry Will. She claimed that the only reason she went through with the wedding was because her mother pressured her into it.

Will also once shared that he had spent years planning a grand 40th birthday celebration for Jada, only for her to dismiss it as an act of ego. Fans were left wondering why Will kept going above and beyond for someone who seemed so unappreciative.

Additionally, Jada has been accused of embarrassing Will on multiple occasions, including discussing their bedroom struggles publicly. While she later claimed her words were taken out of context, many fans felt she was deliberately humiliating her husband.

The Willow-Tupac Connection

Another incident that shocked fans was when a letter that Willow Smith allegedly wrote to Tupac Shakur resurfaced. The letter, written when Willow was just 11 years old, suggested that Jada often spoke about Tupac in a way that made her daughter believe he would have been a better partner for her mother than Will. This revelation added to the growing sentiment that Jada had never fully respected Will’s place in her life.

Will himself admitted in past interviews that he felt insecure about Jada’s connection to Tupac, which only made the situation more painful. Seeing his daughter express such sentiments publicly must have been a devastating moment for him.

The Oscar Slap and Its Fallout

The tension between Will and Jada reached its peak at the 2022 Academy Awards when Will slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada’s alopecia. While Jada did not tell Will to react that way, many fans blamed her for the incident, arguing that she had pushed him to a breaking point with years of emotional manipulation.

Will later issued an apology, but Jada remained mostly silent on the issue for months. When she finally addressed it, she simply called for Will and Chris to reconcile, which left many feeling that she failed to take any accountability for her role in the situation.

Nick Cannon Speaks Out

Nick Cannon has now joined the long list of people calling out Jada’s behavior. He has publicly criticized Red Table Talk, blaming the show for exposing too much personal information and causing unnecessary drama in Will’s life. When the show was canceled, Nick openly celebrated, saying that it was toxic and that it had humiliated Will on multiple occasions.

Fans have had mixed reactions to Nick’s comments, with many agreeing that Jada has been too open about their personal lives at Will’s expense. Comments on social media have included:

“At this point, you have to wonder what Will did to make Jada wake up every few weeks with the intention of embarrassing him.”
“Jada’s public humiliation of Will Smith never ends. Now we find out they’ve been separated since 2016? So he ruined his career for a woman he wasn’t even with?”
“Jada seems to talk about every man she’s ever loved—except for Will. That says everything.”

Final Thoughts

While Will Smith has his own flaws, many fans and celebrities—including Nick Cannon—believe that Jada has been unfair to him over the years. With Red Table Talk gone and more people speaking out, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve moving forward. One thing is certain: the public will be watching closely.
