Jada Pinkett Smith's candid revelation of her tumultuous relationship with Will Smith in her new book, "Worthy," has ignited a heated debate on the state of modern marriages and the influence of Hollywood on our culture. In her book, Jada delves into the depths of her sadness and even a past suicide attempt, shedding light on the complexities of their "situationship" turned marriage debacle. As their personal drama unfolds on public stages, it becomes clear that the Smiths are far from the standard or model for relationships, marriage, and family. They, too, are on a quest for spiritual guidance, mentioning their search for Jesus Christ.
The Smiths' very public struggles point to a larger narrative of how Hollywood has increasingly promoted values of moral decay, selfishness, and unconventional relationship types as "normal." While their journey is theirs to navigate, many are not accepting their family as an aspirational example. It's not a matter of condemnation; instead, it's a call for society to recognize that the Hollywood elite's lifestyle does not represent the true path to fulfillment.
In the end, the Smiths may indeed need Jesus, but so do many others, and it is a collective reflection on the pervasive influence of a culture that often overshadows the values and principles that many hold dear.
