Will Smith’s Steamy Stage Act Stuns Fans Amid Jada Pinkett Marriage Drama

BBG News

Reports have surfaced about Will Smith facing criticism due to an alleged inappropriate incident involving him and a female singer during a live performance, all while navigating his unconventional marital relationship with Jada Pinkett.

As a dedicated follower of events, I myself witnessed, during the Premio Lo Nuestro award show held in Miami on February 20, 2023, the Oscar-winning individual – then aged 56 – engaging in a playful and affectionate act with India Martinez, a 39-year-old performer, while they sang First Love together. The separation from his longtime partner, Pinkett, had been made public prior to this event.

As a devoted admirer, I couldn’t help but notice the intense connection between them during their performance. They seemed to get lost in the music, their embrace growing tighter as they leaned in for what appeared to be a passionate kiss. Remarkably, Smith didn’t shy away from placing a hand on Martinez’s lower back, adding an extra layer of intimacy to their captivating display.

Additional, genuine photos from behind the scenes, show Martinez leaping into Smith’s embrace and encircling his midriff with her legs.

Fans were left speechless and criticizing the rapper for actions deemed “inappropriate” and “awful.

One spectator commented: “This is absolutely unacceptable,” while another expressed: “It may be called entertainment, but it’s still in poor taste.

Others wrote: ‘It’s like someone’s dad’s on the karaoke with a drunk local woman.’ 

‘It’s how Will forgot where he was and went to put his arms around her.’

‘Will plays too much.’

Others spoke up for the celebrity, asserting that he earned “boundless privileges” following Pinkett’s confession of an affair with their mutual acquaintance, August Alsina, in 2020.

Fans wrote: “It’s clear you aren’t surprised by the multiple instances where Jada has humiliated this man in public!! Let’s face it.

‘Idc his “wife” embarrassed him how many times.’

‘Let that man live he’s been put through enough, damn. TR.’

‘Good for Will! He deserves to live life to the fullest, Jada did him dirty.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to clarify that this individual is an actor, whose role often requires intimate scenes with other actors – which is part of the profession and should be understood as such. It’s important not to confuse real-life relationships with the fictional roles they portray on screen.

According to People, it has been mentioned that the actors from I Am Legend and The Matrix are currently living separately but still maintain some form of connection.

The original said: ‘Call it what you want,’ the source added. Another insider, however, clarified that although they have been married since 1997, this couple maintains their relationship while residing in separate residences for quite some time now.

After Jada revealed in 2023 that they’d been apart for seven years, starting from 2016, the duo has since been putting effort into rebuilding their relationship.

In 2023 it was reported that Jada has her own house nearby to Will in Calabasas.

As a die-hard fan, I can tell you that rumors are swirling about Smith supposedly feeling a bit jaded by Tinseltown right now. Yet, if fortune smiles and he scores some fresh victories, Hollywood’s allure might just lure him back in!

For a while now, we’ve been putting in a lot of hard effort side by side. At one point, she expressed that our bond has grown very strong, and we’re looking forward to understanding how it will manifest uniquely for us.

In an interview with The Times in 2023, Jada mentioned that they plan to reunite and reside together so she can provide for Will as he grows older due to his increasing age.

In an interview for the Today show in 2023, as she discussed her memoir Worthy, she offered a glimpse into her marital struggles, explaining to host Hoda Kotb that the marriage had drained them of energy, using the phrase “left them exhausted.

In a broadcast, Pinkett Smith expressed that by 2016, we had simply grown weary from our persistent efforts.

She shared that they had both remained entrenched in our idealized visions of who we believed each other should be, which ultimately led us to grow apart.

In her book “Worthy,” Pinkett Smith refers to their split as a “divorce,” however, it’s important to note that they did not officially file any legal documentation for it.

‘It was not a divorce on paper. But it was a divorce,’ Pinkett Smith said.

The woman with two children, who confessed in 2020 about her affair with singer August Alsina, stated that she contemplated filing for a legal divorce but ultimately couldn’t bring herself to do it. She openly disclosed that she had made a commitment to her spouse, promising never to provide him with a cause for a divorce.

She mentioned that they haven’t definitively decided on the future of their marriage yet, as they’re both still working things out with Will.

In that particular year, she disclosed on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast that there had been multiple separations within her marriage with Will.

Or,

During that specific year, she revealed on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast that there were several instances of separation between her and Will during their marriage.

In his 2021 memoir titled Will, the actor revealed that there were instances during their marriage where both of them were unhappy. It was apparent that a change was necessary.

Later on, it was disclosed that Jada and Will reconnected following the well-known incident at the 2022 Oscars where Will slapped comedian Chris Rock.

Eventually, it came to light that the couple reunited after Will’s controversial altercation with comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.

Both sentences convey the same information in an easy-to-understand manner.

The incident occurred later when Rock jokingly commented on Pinkett Smith’s baldness, which led Will to stride onto the stage, strike the host, and exclaim, “Respect my wife’s name!

She confided in Extra, saying, “In that moment, I realized I would always stand by Will’s side from then on, having spent so many years thinking otherwise.

‘I didn’t go in there as his wife, but I was leaving as his wife,’ she added.

It’s fascinating how challenging circumstances seem to strengthen affection, and in our case, even though it was a tough period, it brought us even closer together. It’s quite amazing how things can unfold sometimes, isn’t it?

Speaking with Daily Mail’s YOU Magazine, Pinkett Smith expressed that several good things have emerged following Smith’s slap on Rock.

* After spending so many years contemplating the possibility of leaving Will, that slap was what ultimately clarified for me that I will always stay with him. It’s hard to say where our relationship might stand today if that event had never occurred.

Following Jada’s public discussion on their marital issues, Will also shared his thoughts on the matter.

In an email made public in the New York Times, he stated that her remarks about their relationship served as a wake-up call for him. He further noted that she appeared to be stronger, wiser, and kinder than he had initially perceived.

According to the actor from The King Richard movie, after being with someone for over half your lifetime, there can develop a kind of emotional numbness or insensitivity.

‘And you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.’

The two were last seen in November 2024, as they stepped out for dinner with Shetty in Los Angeles.

In May 2024, they made their first red carpet appearance since her news of their prior separation.

She supported Will at the Bad Boys: Ride or Die premiere in Los Angeles.

Their two children, Jaden (26) and Willow (24), along with their stepson Trey (32), who is from Will’s previous marriage to Sheree Zampino, also joined them.

Jada’s mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris was also present. 

Back in 2020, my marriage to Will faced intense public examination, particularly during a candid conversation we shared on our talk show, Red Table Talk. This discussion revolved around an old ‘entanglement’ I had four years prior with Alsina, who is significantly younger than me.

Her split from Will happened in the same year that she had the affair with August.

In 2020, rumors about Jada having a relationship with August surfaced, yet both she and Will initially dismissed these claims, stating emphatically that they were entirely unfounded.

On the 30th of June that particular year, August openly discussed in an interview with radio host Angela Yee about his romantic relationship with Jada, and added that he had obtained Will’s approval for it.

He shared that he had a talk with Will, which took place after their transition from marriage to a life partnership. In this discussion, Will granted him his approval.

For a considerable period of my life, I poured all my heart into that relationship. I can honestly say that I held a profound, genuine, and intense affection for her. My commitment extended beyond the ordinary; I dedicated myself entirely to it.

I poured every ounce of my being into it, to such an extent that if I were to pass away now, I’d be content knowing I gave myself completely to someone. Many people never experience this level of self-giving in their lifetime. It wasn’t just about dying; it was more like it transformed me – made me into a different person. It shattered me, left pieces behind.

Next month, Jada had a discussion with Will to clarify the speculations about their relationship’s state. They chose to record the entire talk for their Facebook Watch series, titled Red Table Talk.

Jada admitted that she had a complicated relationship, or “tangle,” with August, while also clarifying that her union with Will was already over at that point.

She told Will, “I’ve moved on,” referring to their situation in that episode. Over the course of time, I found myself involved differently with August.

Contrarily, August’s assertion that Will had given him approval to court Jada was disputed by the couple instead.

Jada clarified a point that had been circulating in the media – it was about granting approval, but only I have the authority to do so in that specific situation, she explained.

In essence, I believe August intended to clarify two things. Firstly, given our friendly separation, he may have perceived my response as tacit approval. Secondly, he sought to emphasize that he is not a home-wrecker, as such accusations are unfounded.

Jada affirmed that they became acquainted with August via their child, Jaden, and she remembered the musician, who was 23 years old then, was extremely unwell.

She clarified that everything began because he required assistance, and her intention was to support his wellbeing, both physically and mentally.

After Jada revealed her feelings, Will acknowledged: “I had reached my limit with you.” Furthermore, they agreed to take some time apart.

‘And then what did you do, Jada?’ Will asked, as he urged his wife to keep talking.

‘As time went on, I got into a different type of entanglement with August,’ Jada explained.

When Will asked Jada to explain her use of the term ‘entanglement’, she replied: ‘Indeed, it was a romantic involvement.’

She added: ‘I endured much agony, and I felt utterly shattered. Through that relationship, it became clear to me that true joy doesn’t come from external sources.’

Following Jada’s confession about her relationship with the musician, certain remarks made by Will sparked speculation among viewers that he might have been involved in similar situations in the past.

The Gemini Man star said the couple had ‘made mistakes without fear of losing’ their family.

‘From a young age, we were both damaged in different ways. It’s important to have the freedom to stumble and fall without fearing that it will cost you your family ties.’ He made this statement.

Some viewers also picked up on Jada’s contention that Will had already gotten his revenge.

‘”Make mistakes” = cheat on one another. Let’s get reals,’ wrote one person on social media.

As a lifestyle advisor, I recently came across a tweet that reads: “Will Smith navigating this conversation without mentioning the women he has been associated with, since his relationship with Jada has been in a transition phase.

Reflecting on my recent work with the talented Margot Robbie in our 2015 production, ‘Focus’, I’ve noticed a resurgence of speculation regarding any romantic connection between us. To set the record straight, let me clarify that we maintain a strong professional bond and nothing more. Our chemistry on screen was not a reflection of anything beyond the set boundaries, as our relationship remains strictly platonic.

At the age of 23, Margot refuted rumors of an affair with Will, who was 45 at the time, following the release of playful photos of them by Star magazine.

When she was 23 years old, Margot dismissed allegations of a relationship with 45-year-old Will after Star published lighthearted pictures of them together.

A photo depicted Will, with his back toward the camera, embracing Margot, their cheeks pinched in playful expressions, as he encircled her neck gently.

In a different image, Margot lifted her top to reveal her bra, as Will also raised his and pressed his chest to hers from behind.

Following the unveiling of the images, I couldn’t help but take a moment to catch my breath as I’ve been tirelessly working. Let it be known that the wild speculation swirling about is utterly baseless. It’s disheartening to see playful moments on set being misconstrued so dramatically out of context.

In the making of the 2015 movie “Focus,” the two lead actors snapped pictures as they acted out scenes. Will portrayed a seasoned swindler, while Margot’s character was a novice con artist learning from him on set.

Will and Margot worked together again on DC’s Suicide Squad (2016).
