American actress, Jada Pinkett Smith has admitted that she truly had an affair with rapper August Alsina, but was only an ‘entanglement’ for her.
August had earlier claimed that he had a romantic relationship with Jada, while she was still legally married to actor Will Smith, and the latter gave him his blessings.
Sitting with Will on her Facebook show, Red Table Talk, to address her relationship with August, which eelive.ng understands is of public interest, Jada explained that she met August alongside her husband through their son, Jaden.
“I got into an entanglement with August,” she told her hubby during the show.
Jaden noted that at the time their friendship advanced to romance, her marriage with Will was in trouble, and they had separated unaware to people.
During the show, the mother of two reiterated that August came to their home sick and in need of medical assistance, but her bond with the rapper grew deeper with time, which led to the entanglement they had.
“I thought it was important that we come to the table to clear the air. Somebody made a statement for me that was not a statement I made that went — cray cray. A relationship, it was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain, I was broken and in the process of that relationship, I definitely realised that you cannot find happiness outside of yourself. And luckily enough, you and I were also going through a process of healing in a much different manner.” Jada pointed out.
Jada wrapped up the show by confirming she ended things with August a long time ago, and have not been in contact ever since. “I let that be and hadn’t talked to him since. August and I haven’t talked in so long, so this all seemed very strange,” she said.
Will and Jada, have, however, been married since 1997. The couple who took to social media to share their marital and infidelity issue have two children.
