July About August

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] The upcoming spin on this story is going to be really interesting to watch!

We can’t think of the last time that a celebrity who was accused of an extra-marital affair actually stepped up to the table and straight-up admitted that it happened.

They usually flat-out lie (It never happened!), make an excuse (We were taking a break!), condemn the accuser in some way (He’s on drugs! He’s just trying to bring attention to himself!), or wriggle around the details (We’re just friends but we never slept together!).

This actress knows she is going to have to come up with something good to avoid disclosure of her open marriage.

She is going to have to throw him under the bus. 

The first odd thing about this is that everyone knows that she has an open relationship with her movie star husband.

The second odd thing about this is that she presents herself as a brutally honest person when she really is only selectively honest.

Saving her rep, [her husband’s] rep, and preventing her children from ridicule are more important than anything.

We don’t know what she is going to say about the accuser.

She has a marriage narrative and she is not going to let him pull her off of that. She is going to have to play some word games to make it look like everything is cool in her marriage and she is rising above this “lie” and feels sorry for [Accuser].

Will people believe her?

She’s very smart, plus she’s an actress. She can make people believe her story and pull them to her side.

Her accuser is not an actor, so unless he can produce some evidence of his claims –  such as a video tape or texts from her corroborating that they had a long-time affair – he might not fare well in this match up.

She and [her husband] are much richer and more famous and have a bigger audience than him. He’s going to get crushed.

The initial accusation happened in June. The rebuttal will happen in July and could be more explosive than any Independence Day fireworks. However, if Accuser fights back, we may see the story stretch into August.

We’ll see what happens!

[Optional] What do you think is the truth? What do you think Actress will say?

SOLVED!

Actress/Actor Couple: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith

Accuser: August Alsina

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are controlling the narrative!

Jaden Smith, the son of Will and Jada, brought home a friend named August Alsina several years ago. August was a 21 year old singer.

Recently, August Alsina claimed that he had a years-long affair with Jada.

Here are some photos from their relationship.

Jada and Will’s reps initially denied that Jada and August had an affair.

From The Sun:

A spokesperson for Will, 51, has told The Sun Online that the accusations are “wrong”.

Meanwhile, Jada’s representatives have since insisted the claims are “absolutely not true.”

Hey, Jada! Ju ly about August?

Yes, she did.

After a lot of controversy and backlash, Jada did a “Red Table Talk” with Will Smith. 

Backpedal, backpedal, backpedal.

Jada admitted that she and August DID have an affair.

August was NOT lying.

However, in a surprise twist… Jada and Will now claim that they were separated in the years that the affair took place!

Say what?!

From USA Today:

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith confirm previous split, reveal details of August Alsina relationship

Jada Pinkett Smith is turning the tables — literally – as she brings herself to the Red Table to address questions about her relationship with R&B artist August Alsina.

On Friday’s “Red Table Talk,” Jada’s husband Will Smith joined her at the iconic table where her mother Adrienne Banfield Norris and daughter Willow Smith usually sit for the Facebook Watch series. 

The “Pursuit of Happyness” actor asked Jada the question everyone wants to know: “So what happened Jada?”

Thus begins the carefully crafted narrative!

Note that the two actors are telling the story. August Alsina was not invited. Will and Jada are firmly in control.

Smith revealed she started a close friendship with Alsina about four and a half years ago, and said her family was trying to help him because he was “really sick.”

“It all started with him just needing some help. Me wanting to help his health, his mental state,” Smith said about Alsina, who has been open about battling an auto-immune disease.

I’m a good person! I was just trying to help this troubled young man!

Do you notice how she tags August as the sick person in this relationship?

She skips the part where this much older (48) and more powerful actress devolved from mentor to predator to take advantage of her son’s troubled friend (who was then 21).

The Smiths revealed this friendship with Alsina began when they were going through a tough time in their marriage. They “basically broke up,” Jada said.

The couple said they separated for an indefinite amount of time so they could figure out how to make themselves happy.

“I got into an entanglement with August,” Jada said before confirming she was in a relationship with the singer during that time.

We were on a break!

So, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith – those two paragons of brutal honesty and forthrightness – somehow forgot to mention before now that they were separated for several years.

Huh.

It is worth noting that August Alsina also never mentioned that the Smiths were separated while he was having an affair with Jada. He just said that Will gave him permission to sleep with Jada.

The wordsmithing of the new narrative (“basically” broke up, “indefinite” amount of time, that it was an “entanglement”) serves a very specific purpose.

Will and Jada have to avoid admitting that they have an open marriage or that they sleep with other people even when they are “married.”

Jada continued: “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.”

The Girls Trip actress shared that her relationship with Alsina allowed her to grow and heal as she learned things about herself during their time together, including acknowledging her desire to be “drawn to people who need help.”

Feel sorry for me! I was in pain! I’m just a good person who likes to help other people!

Sure, Jan.

As you may recall, August Alsina said that Will Smith had given him his blessing to have an affair with Jada.

“What I’m not okay with is my character being in question,” Alsina said. “I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to their transformation from their marriage to life partnership that they’ve spoken on several times. … He gave me his blessing and I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really, deeply loved and have a ton of love for her (Jada). I devoted myself to it, I gave my full self to it.”

That is August Alsina’s story.

The Smiths’ story is that they selflessly helped out a troubled young singer… then they separated for an “indefinite” period of time… then Jada had an “entanglement” for a few years… and then the Smiths got back together.

The Smiths’ story is a carefully crafted narrative and time frame by the same two actors who initially denied that any of this ever happened and who constantly try to impress upon you how hot they are for each other.

You can decide for yourself which party is telling the truth.

Congratulations to Redbus for being first with the correct response!

And good for you if you caught the related clues, such as Independence Day and table (Red Table Talk)!

    I must admit I’ve never understood them as a couple. She seems so much more free-spirited than he does. Willow and Jaden seem to take after her in that regard also. Will’s son Trey from his previous marriage doesn’t seem like that at all.

  2. Britty Woman says

    I guess it’s their lives. They are all adults and like it says, they have children to protect from ridicule. It’s a shame that it happened with his friend though. That’s got to hurt her son.

  3. Mauna Loa says

    Surely you jest! “Preventing her children from ridicule” – that shipped sail a long time ago with her son’s own twitter feed!

  4. linder says

    Jada and Will Smith.

    I think he had the relationship with this guy. Not her. Him.

  5. sfgirl42 says

    Love the title = one of the best yet, at least as I read it: Ju (You) Lie About August. Clever.

  6. Whisper says

    The thing about Will and Jada is people have thought this was an arrangement since as long as I and remember, so I think it will roll off like water off a ducks back. They’ll either pay August to go away or he’ll tire and move on.

  7. iamastar1963 says

    August Alsina – An R&B Artist (much younger than Jada & Will Smith)

    The Smiths must have a forthcoming project they’re trying to promote, as this is old news in the music industry…

    • zappy2020 says

      I don’t think this is related to a project.

      Jada will need to come clean.

      First, August is not lying. Why would he? There is nothing to be gained

      Second, it is an open secret that Will and Jada have an open marriage. The rumor is that they are divorced and keep their partnership for business reasons.

      Third – isn’t Jada’s RED TABLE TALKS about honesty?

      I am going to help Jada out – she can say they were on a “break.”

      By now I think people believe Will is gay and Jada is…

    • twitchy says

      Me too. But now we’re thinking “I guess she likes men after all”. Call me a cynic, but I think that is the whole point of this guy’s “confession” of an affair with Jada – the is a distinct scent of SPIN on this story. I mean, August’s comments had me rolling my eyes like crazy. Who talks like that?

    Jada And Will Smith

    Accuser is August

    I think the smiths have an open marriage. It honestly more concerning that she was 21 years his junior when the affair started and he was in a rough place.

  17. aaaPanda says

    I expect its Will Smith and his ‘wife’ Jada
    Can’t be bothered to look up the accuser. Apparently she had not an affair but a multi year, full-on relationship with a handsome artist/musician.
    I am certain the accuser is telling the truth and her relationship with Smith is a loose arrangement – not a traditional marriage, but what marriage in hollyweird is?
    Tbh, they are not as important as they think they are and I am sure most people couldn’t care less what they get up to in their…

  18. BDBoop says

    Jada sits an a throne of lies.

    I find it ironic Will EVER thought he could run for President, given their history.

    Some bloke I’ve never heard of

    I think they did have an affair, she’ll either be too cowardly to admit it, or she will but say it was a crisis in their marriage, it’s over now, we’vebeenworkinghardtostaytogether blah blah etc etc

    Why can’t people just be honest about things!!!

    Jada Pinkett and August Alsina. I think it’s true. Will certainly has embarrassed her enough with his gender- bending flings. Of course they have an open marriage. It was her turn. They could pay his little broke, attention-hungry ass off. Maybe help him promote his album some other way since that’s what all this disclosure is about. These starlets are ruthless and desperate!!!

  37. VegasMike says

    I believe August. He seems a vulnerable young man. Jada is probably embarrassed. I think she should say nothing. He doesn’t need more salt poured into his open wound. It’s obvious he still loves her. She Didn’t take his heart into consideration when she was having her fun. Let’s hope she has the decency and maturity to do so now.

  78. bec215d says

    Will Smith has mostly chosen very family-friendly films through his career, including working with Disney – so an open marriage isn’t something Jada’s going to admit to, even if he does bring evidence. It doesn’t fit the family-friendly brand they’ve built and closely guard. The bigger question is, should a 40 yr. old woman befriend a troubled young man, bring him into the family circle, ‘counsel’ him – and then bed him and dump him? If the roles were reversed, doesn’t that seem…
