It’s been revealed that Jada Pinkett Smith had a relationship with singer August Alsina while she and Will Smith were going through a short-term separation.

Jada and Will spent an entire episode of her Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk to discussing it.

“One of the reasons I wanted to come to the table, the media, the headlines, we specifically never said anything,” Will said. “We were purposely never saying anything. We specifically never said anything. Coming to the table, we just felt like it got to the point where you gotta say something.”

Jada added, “It’s a situation that I consider private. This is a very personal journey that became very public.”

“Four and a half years ago… I started a friendship with August and we actually became really, really good friends,” she continued. “And it all started with him just needing some help.”

“The outpouring for him from our family was initially about his health,” she said. “We found all those different resources to help pull him through and from there you and I were going through a very difficult time.”

Will replied, “I was done with you.”

“We broke up,” Jada said, clarifying. “We decided that we were going to separate for a period of time.”

She added, “From there as time went on I got into a different kind of entanglement with August. One thing I want to clean up… about you giving ‘permission’ which is… the only person that can give permission in that circumstance is myself.”
