Jada Pinkett Smith, who recently dropped Will Smith separation news, once comforted "male attention" deprived Ayesha Curry
In a candid conversation with Jada Pinkett Smith, the ex-wife of Will Smith, in 2019, Ayesha Curry shared her insecurities about not receiving "male attention" for more than a decade.
"Something that really bothers me, and honestly, given me a sense of a little bit of insecurity, is the fact that there are all these women throwing themselves. But me, like the past 10 years, I don't have any of that, like I have zero. It sounds weird but like male attention. So I then begin to internalize and I'm like, is something wrong with me?" said Curry.
Jada Pinkett Smith offered assurance to Ayesha Curry that she should never think that way and said Curry was beautiful. According to Pinkett Smith, the best person who could her the blanket of security was her husband, Steph Curry.
"You are beautiful. Don't ever say for one minute that it ain't no. Some men out there looking at you like I wish, and I'm gonna tell you who knows that more than anybody... your husband," said Jada Pinkett Smith.
Years after the conversation, news broke in USA Today that Jada had been separated from actor Will Smith since 2016. Despite revealing that they have been separated for years, she has no intention to file for a divorce.
"I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever. And I just haven't been able to break that promise," she said.
