During a confessional interview, Jada Pinkett Smith admitted to her husband Will Smith that she had a steamy affair with young singer August Alsina. The interview, which is being called a “bombshell tell-all confessional” revealed that not only is Pinkett Smith more than twice the age of Alsina, her lover but that she went behind her husband’s back to engage in the affair with the much-younger man after befriending him through their son, 22-year-old Jaden.

After meeting August through her son, Jada started building the foundation of a love affair that would shock the nation. And when she and her husband started going through a “difficult time” and were “basically broken up,” like all the tabloids have been claiming for years, August was ready and willing to take Will Smith’s place and do everything he had vowed to do for her when they first tied the knot – and more.

Although Jada Pinkett Smith, 48, initially denied the hot romance with the younger August Alsina, she did not have the heart to lie to her husband while seated across from him during the interview.

Jada said: “And it all started with him just needing some help, me wanting to help his health, his mental state. The outpouring for him from our family was initially about his health. We found all those different resources to help pull him through, and from there, you and I were going through a very difficult time.”

When Jada admitted the gritty details to her longtime husband, Will Smith said: “I was done with you.”

Jada then admitted that she and Smith agreed that they’d separate for a “period of time,” so while she was a free woman, she seized the opportunity to get intimate with her son’s friend.

“And then what did you do, Jada?” Will asked, prompting his wife for more details.

“As time went on, I got into a different type of entanglement with August,” Jada confessed.

It seems that Will Smith gave her permission to enjoy sex with the younger man. But she had to give herself permission since it was her body and her choice.

“The only person that can give permission in that circumstance is myself,” she said. “But what August was probably trying to communicate because I could see how he could see it as permission because we were separated amicably, and I think he wanted to make it clear he’s not a homewrecker because he’s not.”

Will Smith asked her to define her usage of the word “entanglement,” to which Jada replied, “It was a relationship, absolutely.”

She added, “I was in a lot of pain, and I was very broken. In the process of that relationship, I definitely realized that you can’t find happiness outside yourself. I just wanted to feel good. It had been so long since I felt good… and it was really a joy to just help heal somebody.”

August Alsina made Jada Pinkett Smith “feel good” when her husband was unable to do so.

August also spoke about his passionate fling with Jada Pinkett Smith, saying he “totally gave” everything he could to her “for years of my life” and that “I truly and really, really deeply love and have a ton of love for her.”

Will Jada and Will remain married?
