Jada Pinkett Smith finally came clean about why she chose to admit to having an affair; however, her explanation was not what viewers were expecting.

During an interview to promote her book, I am, You are, We are, Worthy, Jada said her decision to go public about the affair was to protect her husband’s ego and shield their family from further emotional strain.

"If I have to look like the adulterous wife to make sure you're good, I'll do it."

Jada explained that she was overcome with guilt and decided to choose Will's happiness over her own by coming clean about her affair with singer August Alsina and helping her husband process the scandal.

"I hadn't learned how to love myself and not leave Will on the side of the road. And I hadn’t learned how to love Will and not leave myself on the side of the road.

"I felt so bad that he was in this situation. I decided, 'I'mma love you, Will, and I'mma leave myself on the side of the road.'"

She noted that she accepted being seen as the "bad guy" if it would help her family move forward.

The actress first spoke publicly about the affair in 2020, which she described as an “entanglement." At the time, she and Will Smith were separated.

By framing her confession as an act of self-sacrifice rather than a simple admission of guilt, Jada has ignited another debate about her seemingly troubled marriage, with social media suggesting that she was setting Will up for more public humiliation.
