'So full of herself': Jada Pinkett Smith slammed for saying she felt Will Smith 'threw her to the curb' after separation
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Jada Pinkett Smith has been met with mixed reactions after candidly discussing her emotions during the seven-year separation she and her husband Will Smith secretly endured.
The revelation took place during an episode of 'The Diary Of A CEO' podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett.
In her heartfelt conversation, the 52-year-old star of 'Magic Mike XXL' delved into the issues that led to their separation, highlighting the disparities in their "love languages."
She revealed that her own desire was for emotional connection, while Will's love language centered around hard work to provide material comfort.

Jada explained, "My love language was 'I just want you to be here with me. I don't need all of that stuff, I want to look in your eyes and feel your love and feel your protection here with me.'"
The actress expressed her intention to create a deep, emotional connection with her husband, which differed from his aspiration to create a grand life.
Jada acknowledged that neither of these aspirations was wrong, but rather, they had to find a balance.
She admitted that in the process, she had lost herself by focusing solely on helping Will achieve his dreams, neglecting her own needs.
Jada also confessed to feeling resentful when Will suggested that she needed to find happiness independently during their separation.

Their commitment to "heavy-duty work" and deep love for each other speaks to their determination to navigate the complexities of their unconventional marriage.
