Jada Pinkett Smith says she 'crossed a line' with Will Smith's first wife Sheree

Jada Pinkett Smith has recalled how she once 'crossed a line' regarding Will Smith 's first wife.

The Girls Trip actress, 51, and Will's ex Sheree Zampino may be on great terms these days - even holidaying together sometimes - but things haven't always been so rosy between the two women.

Will, 54, and Sheree tied the knot in 1992 and welcomed son Trey, 29, into the world together before calling it quits on their romance in 1995. The Oscar-winning actor went on to find love with Jada after his divorce in 1995 and the happy couple became parents to son Jaden and daughter Willow in 1998 and 2000 respectively.

Jada and Sheree say they have a 'really nice sisterhood' almost 30 years on from Will and Sheree parting ways, but recently recalled some rocky times during the early stages of navigating life as a blended family.

Speaking on her Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk next to Sheree, Jada shared a story about the time she once tried to discipline her stepson Trey - something that infuriated Sheree at the time.

"I can remember some times that I really crossed the line. There was one time Trey had a playdate and he misbehaved. I was like, 'Uh uh, we gotta sit down, we've got to talk about this, Trey can't be behaving this way'," Jada explained when looking back on the time things weren't so 'easy'.

Sheree went on to give her version of events, recalling: "I literally walked in the house just to drop him off, and as soon as I walked in Jada was like, 'Listen, we gotta talk about his behavior,' and I was like, 'Go get his daddy, please. Why are you talking about what happens at my house over here?' This behaviour was at my house!"

Jada added: "It was a lot of intertwining and it got really kind of messy."

Despite a couple of blips along the way, it seems life was good overall in the two women's respective households back in the day - with Sheree going on to credit Jada for always wanting the best for Trey.

"Your heart was always right towards him, wanting the best for him," she told The Nutty Professor actress during their candid conversation on Jada's Facebook series.

Jada's Red Table Talk series has provided some sensational moments over the years, with the mum-of-two never shying away from discussing the most-private aspects of her personal life - must to the delight of viewers.

In 2020, Jada even opened up about her extramarital relationship with singer August Alsina, 30, during a conversation with husband Will - describing the brief affair as an 'entanglement'.

The Scream 2 actress said at the time she didn’t consider it a 'transgression' because she and Will were on a break.

The mum-of-two's choice of words to label her 2015 tryst with August inspired thousands of memes and internet commentary about the 'entanglement'.
