Will Smith Reveals How He Nearly Turned Down This Outstanding Film Role

Jada Pinkett Smith guarantees that her life has been portrayed by both outrageous highs (tours with her band Wicked Wisdom, the births of her two children, the birth of Trey, her bonus son from Will’s previous marriage, and the creation of the talk show Red Table Talk) and extreme lows.

She said,

“I was in so much pain when I turned 40. The only escape I could think of was death. So I made a plan.” Smith is conscious of how her life appeared to others, particularly roughly ten years ago. The glitz and smiles, the mansion, the dresses, and the movie premiere, they have it all, although, she continued, “But while I was actually living the ideal, I ran against a large wall and experienced extreme depression. I believe that I considered using outside resources to fill the gaps I was seeing internally”.

The voices were coming, according to her. She then started planning her own demise. “Just commit suicide; you’re not worth anything; you ain’t sh*t. Because I didn’t want my kids to believe that their mother had committed suicide, I started looking for locations, such as cliffs, where I could have an accident.”

In the same interview, Jada Pinkett Smith also revealed how she managed those contemplations and abandoned them for good. According to her, an unintentional experience in her own kitchen gave her a purpose for confidence. Friends of her son Jaden referenced that their dad had partaken in an ayahuasca ceremony, when a leader directs a plant-based stimulant and guides the patient through mental trips, commonly by fermenting it into a tea to consume.

She said,

“Ayahuasca helped me, and it gave me a new, intimate relationship with myself that I had never had before.” Since Jada took the medication for the first time, “the suicidal thoughts completely disappeared.”

Meanwhile, Jada Pinkett Smith was last seen in 2021 film “The Matrix Resurrections”.
