Jada Pinkett Smith Reveals She Once 'Had An Unhealthy Relationship To Porn'

Jada Pinkett Smith got real REAL about her past issues with pornography on the latest episode of her talk show Red Table Talk.

While sitting with her usual co-hosts, her daughter, Willow Smith, and mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, the 47-year-old actress explained how at one time in her life she had a very unhealthy porn habit.

"I wasn’t in a relationship when I had a porn addiction, believe it or not, thank goodness," she said, before explaining later that addiction may not be the right word to describe her previous porn-watching behavior. "I actually feel like I was using 'addiction' a little lightly. And maybe I’ll say now that I had an unhealthy relationship to porn at one point in my life where I was trying to practice abstinence."

Willow then asked her mom if she believed her "fixation" on porn came from an "emotional" place, which Jada admitted that it did. "It was actually like filling an emptiness, at least you think it is," she explained. "But it's actually not."

Elsewhere in the 23-minute episode, Willow opened up to her mom and grandma about her introduction to porn, saying she was "around 11" when she started watching it on Tumblr. "I remember the first time I went on Willow’s Tumblr, she was 10 or 11," Jada recalled. "She was very matter of fact, she was like, 'I’m going to my Tumblr page, but as we’re going to the Tumblr page, you’re going to see a lot of stuff. This has nothing to do with me.' I was like, 'Okay.' So she’s just scrolling, scrolling. And when I tell you I saw some of the most hard-core pornography on Tumblr."

Following Jada and Willow's candid confessions, Grandma Adrienne said, "I cannot believe that I’m having this conversation with my daughter and granddaughter!"
