Jada Pinkett Smith confesses she once had 'a porn addiction'

Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about her previous 'porn addiction' on Red Table Talk.

The 47-year-old actress was joined by her 18-year-old daughter Willow Smith and mom Adrienne Banfield-Jones for the candid discussion on her Facebook Watch show about the relationship all three women have had with pornography.

'Back in the day I had a little porn addiction, but I wasn't in a relationship when I had a porn addiction, believe it or not, thank goodness,' said the Girls Trip star.

The mother-of-two later appeared to walk back her statement.

'I actually feel like I was using "addiction" a little lightly,' said Jada, once the women had sat down at the titular table.

'And maybe I'll say now that I had an unhealthy relationship to porn at one point in my life where I was trying to practice abstinence.'

The daughter she shares with actor husband Will Smith then asked if her porn fixation came from an 'emotional' place.

'It was actually like filling an emptiness, at least you think it is,' Jada explained. 'But it's actually not.'

Earlier in the episode, the teenage Whip My Hair hitmaker admitted she began watching porn with her friends at a young age on Tumblr.

She said she was 'around 11' at the time.

'All my girlfriends were like, ‘Oh, you should [watch],' the I Am Legend actress said.

Jada then picked up her daughter's story.

'I remember the first time I went on Willow’s Tumblr, she was 10 or 11,' the actress began.

'She was very matter of fact, she said, "I’m going to my Tumblr page but as we’re going to the Tumblr page you’re going to see a lot of stuff. This has nothing to do with me."'

'So she’s just scrolling, scrolling. And when I tell you I saw some of the most hardcore pornography on Tumblr.'

Willow countered, 'It wasn’t! Mom. It really wasn’t.'
