However, Charlemagne stated that he felt Jada had nothing to do with Smith’s breakdown. ” I don’t think she had nothing to do with that, I really don’t. I mean other than that’s my wife and I’m tired of people playing with me about my wife.” He said.

Charlamagne defends Jada Smith

He defended her saying that people unnecessarily pressured her. Furthermore, he then gave his thoughts on what might have caused Smith to act that way. He claimed that this could have been the result of his childhood trauma that can affect individuals throughout their lives.

I don’t believe that I think that’s putting too much on her. If you’ve read Will’s book or even listened to his interviews, Will has like has a lot of pain he hasn’t dealt with, trauma he hasn’t dealt with. He used to watch his mom get beat up by his dad and he always felt like a coward cause he didn’t intervene. I think that that’s something that stays with you the rest of your life.” He added.
