AceShowbiz - Jada Pinkett Smith is trying to find a "new home" for "Red Table Talk". After Meta confirmed that it's ending the hit talk show, the 51-year-old actress, who hosts the show alongside her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris and her daughter Willow Smith, took to social media to announce her ambition.
"We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful partnership with Facebook Watch and we are sorry to see the entire team disband," Jada wrote on Instagram. "We wish everyone well in their new journeys to come. We at Red Table are in talks of finding a new home and we'll see you soon."
Jada, who is married to Will Smith, has co-hosted "Red Table Talk" since 2018. In 2021, her series won a Daytime Emmy award. Now, however, Meta announced plans to end its Facebook Watch original programming, which includes "Red Table Talk".
The former "Hawthorne" star has previously used the show to discuss various scandals and contentious issues, including allegations that she had an affair with music star August Alsina in 2020. She said during one episode, "I felt like it was really important to come to the table and clear the air."
"We were purposely not saying anything ... We specifically never said anything," she continued addressing the issue. "So coming to the table was like, we just felt like it got to the point where you gotta say something."
During the show, Jada revealed that she "got into a different kind of entanglement with August." The actress added, "I just wanted to feel good. It had been so long since I felt good. And it was really a joy to just help heal somebody. I think that has a lot to do with my codependency. Which is another thing that I had to learn to break in this cycle."
