Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about her past battles with drug addiction.
According to PageSix, the 49-year-old actress and wife of Will Smith spoke about her previous issues with substance abuse on the latest episode of her podcast Red Table Talk.
On the Facebook Watch show, Pinkett Smith stated that she would often combine wine or other alcohol with ecstasy and weed; and that this led to her passing out on the set of the movie The Nutty Professor.
Take a look at this clip from the Facebook podcast right here:She stated: "Drinking red wine for me was like drinking glasses of water. Because I’m used to that hard hit. I was drinking hard in high school, too, and when I got out here I was doing cocktails.
"So, ecstasy, alcohol, weed. Let me tell you, I was having myself a little ball. I wasn’t doing things that I thought were addictive. But I would do those three together, that was my cocktail."
The actress continued by calling herself a "walking miracle" for managing to stay sober and testified that her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, had herself been addicted to heroin
Pinkett Smith then stated that while filming the 1996 comedy, "I went to work high and it was a bad batch of ecstasy. I passed out and I told everybody that I must have had old medication in a vitamin bottle."
This comes not long after the actress' daughter, musician Willow Smith, came out as polyamorous on the show.
Willow stated: "I love men and women equally and so I would definitely want one man, one woman.
"I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people. I'm not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences.
"I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of the different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don't feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more."
And in a 2019 episode of the show, Jada seemingly confronted her own husband on the subject of his own alcohol intake.
