Will and Oprah discuss a lot revolving around matters disclosed in his new memoir, ‘Will’.
During a recent interview for the latest episode of The Oprah Conversation, an AppleTV+ series, Oprah Winfrey discusses the details of Will Smith‘s new memoir, Will. We all know the media mogul that is Oprah Winfrey knows how to get to the nitty-gritty.
Smith describes in this new book that he nearly lost everything prior to his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air fame. This clip of the show is exclusive of Entertainment Tonight, in which Oprah opens up the conversation starting with this, “So right before Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, I think people would be surprised to know, this is the first time, I realized you basically lost everything.”
Oprah lists that he went to jail, the government seized his cars, they took his home. He described in his memoir that he hit “rock bottom.”
She continues, “What was at the root of that downfall, Will? And the life lesson you took from it?” Smith replies, “When it rains, it pours. So getting into the fight at the radio station, Charlie punching the dude that landed me in jail, so the money is gone the care is gone.”
“I am laying on the floor in a jail cell and I am like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me!’ I won a Grammy eight months ago. Like what is happening? And it’s just the spiral when it starts going the other way. It’s like, sometimes you just have to get out the way and wait till the downward spiral stops.”
The two also delve into the paragraph in which Smith addressed the separation between him and Jada Pinkett-Smith whom he married in 1997. In which Smith revealed that the two never really “officially” split, there was an argument that caused their relationship to go downhill during Jada’s 40th birthday.
He said that the two felt as though they were trying to fulfill the happiness of one another and it just couldn’t be done. Smith said, “We just decided, ‘You have to figure out how to be happy. Go figure out if you can be happy and prove to me it’s even possible. I’m gonna do me and you do you.”
Many whispers of the Smith’s marriage circle about daily and they heavily increased once Jada confirmed her entanglement with August Alsina. Although many thought Jada was the only one, Smith disclosed that he also engaged in extramarital affairs, he said Jada wasn’t the “the only one engaging in other sexual relationships,” in a recent GQ interview.
According to Complex, Winfrey was interested in a specific part of his memoir which referenced “loving in freedom,” she questioned what exactly that meant in his relationship. Smith defined it as, “You love in freedom with everybody except your partner,” which is the case where you have to give more and are more restricted in romantic relationships rather than in friendships. “It’s friendship versus marital prison… So we talk about everything. I think the difficulty that people have and difficulty in discussing it is people only think in terms of sex.”
As reported previously, Smith never deemed his and Jada’s relationship to be that of the traditional sense.

Letitia Wright’s on-set injury halts the production of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Black Panther star, Letitia Wright, was injured back in August on set for the sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The injury wasn’t expected to halt production when it first occurred, the actress remained in London after the incident. The shoot continued without her in Atlanta with director Ryan Coogler.
The injury occurred two months ago on-location in Boston, involving a stunt rig while shooting a sequence.
Amid Wright not being 100 percent quite yet, they’ve decided to pause production starting the week of Thanksgiving up until early 2022 Variety has confirmed. Even though the production will halt they have not changed the released date of November 11th, 2022 which was already pushed back from the original of July 8th, 2022.
Wright played Shuri the younger sister of Chadwick Boseman‘s T’Challa, in the 2018 ‘Black Panther.’ Wright will be assuming a larger role in the sequel following the tragic passing of Boseman in 2020. The other original cast members will be returning for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as well including, Angela Basset, Daniel Kaluuya, Winston Duke, Lupita Nyong’o, Daniel Gurira, and Florence Kasumba.

A video of Damon Arnette threatening someone while brandishing a gun went viral over the weekend.
Las Vegas Raiders waived their Cornerback Damon Arnette. This is the second time in two weeks, that the Raiders have had to split with first-round draft picks for off-the-field incidents.
According to CBS, general manager Mike Mayock announced monday that a video of Damon Arnette threatening to kill someone while holding a gun went viral over the weekend and this is the reason for his release.
“The content [of the video] was unacceptable, contrary to our values, and our owner, Mark Davis, has been very clear and very consistent that this is not how we will conduct ourselves in this community,” Mayock said during a press conference Monday. “The bottom line: The Raiders will not tolerate this type of behavior.”
Apparently there was previous concern over Arnette’s character prior to him being drafted from Ohio state. Mayock added, “We found the risk acceptable after doing more homework on Arnette than anybody we’ve done in the years I’ve been here, and obviously, we missed. And that is 100 percent on me,” CNN reported.
The 25-year-old Arnette, appeared to be recording himself in the video, speaking into the camera while reapeadetly threatening to kill someone who seemingly indicated that they were five minutes away from his location. He did so while brandishing a gun and warning the person that he was not alone and that he had “a whole army.”
Arnette was the 19th pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, he was selected by the Raiders and has played a total of 13 games for the team.
As previously reported by WHUR, this is following the recent cut of former Las Vegas Raider Henry Ruggs 111. Who was cut due to his arrest after his involvement in a car crash, that led to the death of Tina Tintor.
“We just lost Ruggs and Arnette, our two first-round picks, in the period of seven days,” said Mayock. “Am I sick to my stomach right now on a lot of levels? Yes.”

In an excerpt of Will Smith’s new Memoir ‘Will’ he describes how he once thought about killing his father.
Will Smith‘s new memoir, Will, is set to release next week, Nov. 9th, detailing the life of the actor and explaining his complicated story.
An excerpt was released to People, in which Smith describes secrets, and the traumatic relationship between him and his late father, Will Sr., that he holds onto till this day.
Early on in this book, Smith describes his father, William Carroll Smith Sr., “My father was violent, but he was also at every game, play and recital. He was an alcoholic, but he was sober at every premiere of every one of my movies.”
He writes that his father’s intense want for perfection was what put food on the table and also terrorized his family. His father was married to his mother Caroline Bright, he and his three siblings were raised in Philidelphia. His parents separated when he was a teen and divorced in 2000.
A particular incident that Smith witnessed between his father and his mother scarred him, changing his life forever.
“When I was nine years old, I watched my father punch my mother in the side of her head so hard that she collapsed. I saw her spit blood. That moment in that bedroom, probably more than any other moment in my life, has defined who I am.”
As he said, that moment defined who he was, putting the thought in his mind that he was a coward for never standing up for his mother, even though he was just a child.
Smith goes on to say, ” What you have come to understand as “Will Smith,” the alien-annihilating MC, the bigger-than-life movie star, is largely a construction- a carefully crafted and honed character -designed to protect myself. To hide to myself from the world. To hide the coward.”
The actor writes that his anger and resentment for his father resurfaced years later while Will Sr., who had cancer, was in his care. “One night, as I delicately wheeled him from his bedroom toward the bathroom, a darkness arose within me. The path between the two rooms goes past the top of the stairs. As a child I’d one day avenge my mother.”
Smith tells that at that moment he pictured killing his father. ” I paused at the top of the stairs. I could shove him down, and easily get away with it,” he writes. “As the decades of pain, anger, and resentment coursed then receded, I shook my head and proceeded to wheel Daddio to the bathroom.”
Smith reflected on the relationship between him and his father after his passing in 2016. It taught him the truth about finding fulfillment in the world. “There is nothing that you can receive from the material world that will create inner peace or fulfillment,” he writes. “In the end, it will not matter one single bit how well [people] loved you – you will only gain ‘the SMile’ based on how well you loved them.”

The Bryant Estate will receive an estimated $400 Million after Coca-Cola and Bodyarmor deal.
Monday Coca-Cola bought out BodyArmor for $5.6 billion which means that an estimated $400M will go to the estate of the late basketball star Kobe Bryant.
Bryant, who became a shareholder in BodyArmor in 2013, passed away in 2020 in a tragic helicopter crash. His wife inherited control of his estate which Forbes reported being $600 million at the time of his death. He invested $6 million into the BodyArmor company, resulting in the $400 million dollar payout at the time of sale.
The NBA star told Forbes in 2014, “I put my skin in the fame,” after investing millions to join the Board of Directors. The founder of BodyArmor, Mike Repole said, “If it wasn’t for Kobe Bryant’s vision and belief, BODYARMOR would not have been able to achieve the success we had. I couldn’t be more excited to become part of the Coca-Cola family and set our sights on the future,” in a press release.
His share in BodyArmor was only a small part of his business savvy, Bryant continued to show his knowledge after retiring from the NBA in 2016. He invested in multiple companies and created multiple streams of income.
The acquisition for BodyArmor has been in the works since earlier this year.

Damon Dash and Jay-Z may be working to solve their relationship.
Jay-Z left the ball in Damon Dash’s court after thanking him during his induction speech this past weekend at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. Damon Dash says he is prepared to end his 20-year feud with the Roc-A-Fella co-founder.
Dash and Jay-Z went through a huge fallout in the early 2000s after starting the record label, Roc-A-Fella Records, together. Over time the two have made jabs at one another through the media and have rarely seen each other for roughly 20 years. These problems seem to be a thing of the past as the two seemingly plan on reconciling their relationship.
Hov thanked many people during his speech, with Dame being one of them. “Shout out to Dame, I know we don’t see eye-to-eye, but I can never erase your accomplishments. And I appreciate you and I thank you for that.”
According to Page Six, Dame was touched, “It was beautiful, I’m glad he said it for the culture. We need to squash everything. So hopefully if that was an extended [olive branch] I’ll spin one back.”
He also went on to say that they should take one on one without lawyers involved. Their recent feud has been a lawsuit against Dash for his attempt in selling Jay-Z’s ‘Reasonable Doubt’ the first album released at Roc-A-Fella records.
Dash congratulates Jay-Z on his accomplishments acknowledging that it is a win for both of them, and it’s huge. Dash says he will forever think of Jay-Z as a brother, “We should not be divided. We have accomplished too much to be beefing… There ain’t no way I’m never gonna [not] consider [him] my brother — it’s just that we don’t see eye-to-eye.”
Hopefully, the two reconcile their differences, Dame believes it’s important for them to move past it and solve the problem. “We can talk it out and the culture needs to see two strong black men working out a problem. Even if they worked together they can go their separate ways they can still be cool.”
