Jada Pinkett-Smith’s upcoming memoir

In a new episode of the podcast “On Purpose with Jay Shetty,” Pinkett-Smith discussed her upcoming memoir, which explores her life and past fully. Shetty read her a letter written by Will Smith after he’d read her memoir, which prompted a very emotional response from her. “I applaud and honor you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would’ve hugged you more,” said the letter. “I’ll start now. Welcome to the Authors Club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”

Pinkett-Smith laughed and said, “He know I can’t have no Merlot. That’s beautiful. That’s why I can’t divorce that joker.”
