People are begging journalists to stop interviewing Will and Jada Smith

The inside scoop on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship has been the topic of discussion for some time - even though no-one asked.

Now, one person decided to take matters into their own hands by creating a Change.org petition to convince journalists not to interview the duo about their relationship.

There have been many moments of oversharing about the couple.

Will said that their marriage reached a peak in 2011 during Jada’s 40th birthday and they “realised that it was a fantasy illusion that we could make each other happy.”

He also explained in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that after the two went their separate ways for some time, they were going to revisit the “relationship already happy, versus demanding that the other person fill our empty cup.”

But in their time away from the relationship, the pair had moments that went against the sanctity of marriage.

In July 2020, Jada sat down with will for Red Table Talk to discuss her relationship or “entanglement” with R&B singer August Alsina.

She said the relationship with Alsina began a few years prior when she and Will were "going through a difficult time" and broke up.

The couple also alluded to Will having a relationship outside of the marriage, but they didn’t go too much into detail.

In November, Will told GQ that “Jada never believed in [a] conventional marriage...Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship.”

These admissions about their relationship don’t stop here. On other episodes of Red Table Talk, they’ve talked about  Jada’s close-knit friendship with Tupac (which he admitted he was jealous over) to their sex life.

These revelations might have been all Dexter Morales needed to hear to launch the “‘Stop interviewing Will and Jada smith!” petition.

People took to the comments of the petition to seemingly cosign it.

“Let’s go!!! We need to end this madness,” someone wrote.

“Half the s*** they be saying should not be said my guy,” another added.

A third wrote: “I’ve learned more about this family in the past three months than I have in the last 10 years.”

In due time, we shall see if the petition has any effect on the Smiths’ sharing their business.

At the time of writing, the petition has more than 1,100 signatures out of the target goal of 1,500.
