It all started with Jada Smith’s affair with August Alsina, a rapper.
After the couple’s breakup and subsequent reconciliation, the Gotham actress declared on Facebook’s Red Table Talk that she and the young rapper were back together, stronger than ever, and completely in love with each other.
On Jada Pinkett Smith’s talk program, viewers would not learn that her affair may have been a chain reaction in response to yet another tabloid-fueled urban legend. Internet detectives connected the 2013 allegations of Will Smith’s alleged affair with Margot Robbie to the 2020 Red Table Talk episode that confirmed Jada Smith’s affair with Alsina.
Margot Robbie’s Hatred of Jada Smith Since Around 2013
Despite being legally married since 1997, the actress was never a fan of the traditional wedding ceremony. Years later, Jada Smith admitted that her mother had coerced her into it when she became pregnant with Jaden Smith, the first child of Jada and Will Smith. Since then, the public’s perception of the couple has remained untarnished by the 2013 allegations, and they have had a wonderful period as Hollywood’s most beloved celebrity couple.
Jada Smith’s 2015 defense of her husband’s public remarks of admiration for Robbie further cemented the Bad Boys actor’s notoriously open marriage. Nevertheless, those remarks were swiftly disregarded when, three years down the road, Jada Smith revealed her racial prejudice toward white women with blonde hair on Red Table Talk.
Because I am biased, especially toward blonde ladies, I must own that I am guilty of that to some extent. I can’t stand it when white women have blonde hair.
She later clarified that it was due to the fact that she had been the target of childhood bullying and teasing for the color of her hair and skin, but many readers took it as a subtle dig at her animosity toward Margot Robbie. Following the 2020 revelation of Jada Smith’s 4.5-year “entanglement” with R&B rapper August Alsina, these animosities were more causes for the Bad Moms actress’s hatred of Margot Robbie.
Margot Robbie and Will Smith, who starred in the 2015 romantic crime movie Focus, were the center of attention as the tabloids couldn’t get enough of the news that they had spent the night in Smith’s trailer instead of at the wrap party. Despite the quantity of behind-the-scenes images that fueled theories about what actually occurred, the audience was left to fill in the remainder of the facts.
A 2015 Focus on Will Smith and Margot Robbie drama
Star Magazine (via The New York Post) published images from a New Orleans afterparty that took place during the filming, showing the two actors standing in a photo booth and removing their shirts, which further fuelled the suspicions. The tabloid rumors were further supported and legitimized when insiders questioned the couple’s behavior. Margot Robbie and Will Smith’s onscreen chemistry was absolutely great during the film’s premiere.
The accusations of an affair were immediately denounced by Margot Robbie. The “blond bombshell” reputation that the Australian actress and producer gained in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street shattered over the course of her stellar acting and producing career. However, the tabloids timed Robbie’s celebrity to their liking, and Robbie responded by denying the accusation on Twitter.
