AceShowbiz - "Saturday Night Live" tackled Jada Pinkett Smith's bombshell memoir "Worthy" in the Saturday, October 21 episode. During the "Weekend Update" segment, anchor Michael Che could be seen welcoming Jada, played by Ego Nwodim, to talk about the shocking confessions in her book.
"Sorry if I seem a little tired," Ego's Jada shared, before adding, "I've been on the 'Today' show 14 times in three days." She then discussed her tumultuous marriage and her subsequent split from her estranged husband Will Smith.
She said, "The day we got married, I knew there was going to be trouble. At our wedding, someone stood up and objected." Michael asked, "Who was it?" to which Jada replied, ""It was me. Yeah, it was me. But it's OK, 23 years later, Will and I are still a unit. And it's because we have learned that the secret to a successful marriage is never go to bed happy."
Michael later asked why they didn't get divorced. Ego's Jada responded, "Oh, no, divorce is not an option. I have principals, Michael. If we got divorced, he could mess around and end up happy. And I can't have that."
She further insisted that despite the split, she and the "King Richard" actor "are doing great." She continued, "For the first time in a very, very long time, I am in such a solid and fortified place. Nothing makes me feel stronger than publicly cucking my millionaire husband."
"It was the first time in years that I felt like his wife. And now I am so clear on what to do if we ever start drifting apart again," Ego's Jada added. Seemingly referring to Will's Oscar slap incident involving Chris Rock, she continued, "The next time we hit a rough patch, I'm going to ask Will to shoot Kevin Hart."
Jada has been making headlines after the release of her tell-all book "Worthy". She revealed that she and Will have secretly separated for seven years. Despite that, the pair put a united front during their first appearance together since the revelations.
During an event in Baltimore, Will called their relationship "brutiful," adding, "It was brutal and beautiful at the same time." The 55-year-old Oscar winner further told the crowd, "As I stand here before you today, I am happier than I've ever been in my entire life. I have achieved every single thing I have ever wanted in my entire life. There is not one thing left that I desire in this world-all of the awards, all of the money, the family-everything I've ever dreamed."
