- Jada Pinkett Smith spoke to People about her upcoming memoir, titled “Worthy.”
- She said the book will address “falsehoods” and incorrect narratives, some of which she participated in.
- “People have made a lot of assumptions,” she said. “And you know what? Rightfully so.”
American actress, producer, and philanthropist Jada Pinkett Smith is set to release her highly-anticipated memoir, titled ‘Worthy,’ on October 17, 2023.
In an Instagram post, Jada expressed her desire to reclaim her narrative after years of enduring falsehoods and misconceptions surrounding her life.
“In the book people will see that I have to be very accountable of the misunderstandings that are floating,” Pinkett Smith told People in a new interview published on Thursday, timed to the announcement of the title and cover of her memoir, “Worthy.”
Pinkett Smith, 51, has been a fixture in Hollywood since the ’90s, beginning with roles on shows like “A Different World.” Since then, she’s starred in franchises such as “Scream” and “The Matrix,” and had appeared on series like “Gotham.”
Nowadays, she’s known for being a cohost of the popular, Emmy-winning talk show “Red Table Talk.”
Aspects of Pinkett Smith’s personal life, from her decades-long marriage to Will Smith to her deep friendship with the late musician Tupac, have also been discussed and speculated about considerably by the public.
“In the book I really explain all of that extensively as part of my reclamation journey,” she added. “I think a lot of people, not even just women, but a lot of us lose ourselves in narratives that are not necessarily or completely forthright.”
The “Girls Trip” star shared similar comments in an instagram post on Thursday, writing: “The fact that I have, in the last four years contributed to the creation and perpetuation of falsehoods about myself, in which other untrue narratives were birthed, has surely aided in the misunderstandings that surround me.”
“This fall, with deep humility and respect, I will take back my narrative,” Pinkett Smith said.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir, “Worthy,” is on sale on October 17, 2023.
