Will Smith could’ve responded in a very different manner to Jada Pinkett Smith’s constant disses over the last couple of weeks. The actress is promoting her memoir and airing even more private aspects of the relationship she has with her estranged husband. She confirmed they haven’t been together since 2016 but decided to not get a divorce because they wanted their family to stick together in the limelight. That was only the latest from a long list of moments in which Will Smith was considered Jada’s abuse victim. But the actor doesn’t look at the entire situation like that. Such a black and white definition of a relationship is not what Will Smith sees. At the end of the day, Jada is the mother of his children.

Will Smith responds to trolls with this message for Jada

For the longest time, folks online have decided to keep trolling Will Smith for taking this alleged abuse from Jada Pinkett Smith. But they forget that nobody has forced him to remain in the relationship despite being estranged. Everybody else is going low against Will Smith while he decided to go high. During a book signing event at Pratt Libraries, the ‘Independence Day‘ actor showed up to give a speech in his wife’s honor while holding her close to him. His words made her tear up and possibly remember that he will always have her back. No matter what. Both of the kids they had together were present at the event as well. Will Smith’s oldest son, Trey, was there too.

Here’s what Will Smith said: “I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me. We have had a very, very long and tumultuous [relationship]. We call it ‘brutiful.’ It was brutal and beautiful at the same time. 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. Can you show up and love somebody for the rest of your life, even when you don’t agree with them? Jada is the best friend I have ever had on this planet and I am going to show up for her and support her for the rest of my life.”
