I mean...if Will and Jada could take us out the group chat that'd be great š¬š

Itās funny that you bring up Will as a role model of masculinity for black men. In one of my college sociology classes, we had a unit on racialized masculinity. We read a paper about how Willās movie and tv roles represented a safe not-too-black masculinity for nonblack audiences ā especially when heās saving the world/empire, combatting terrorism, etc. Has roles like Hitch where heās wooing not-too-ethnic women. Itās been years, wish I remembered more, but the essay blew my mind as a young college student.

āThis ridiculous story that just wonāt die.ā Literally sums up how tired we are of hearing about things of their relationship that should be private.

Honestly, I think the problem people have is that there really isn't someone to blame in this situation - but it's easiest to blame Jada. They are both choosing to stay married even though neither of them is really getting what they want out of the situation.

Just because Jada is every incels nightmare/stereotype doesnt mean Will is a poor lil baby who needs help. He can walk away

I also think Pac represents to her a time in which she was free and didn't find herself confined into that box that her husband and the black community made out for her. It was probably the last time she could make her own independed decisions and just be herself without public judgement. We always yearn for the good old days when we were young. Her loosing her good or best friend around that time, makes her probably look back on him, through the same lense of nostalgia. Especially if they were as close as she claims. Especially if he was really that kind soul, that she always speaks of. If I remember correctly, she said that he challenged her world view and made her think outside the box and see the world differently. So to her he represents her old nearly perfect world. The life she could have had, if she didn't marry Will. He's some what of an escapism to her. She is probably deeply in love with the idea of 2Pac and what he represented to her, but maybe she doesn't even remember the real Pac or she thinks she does. Which is ironic if you remember that Will married her because he liked the idea of her and them together.

I think in a sense, Will followed the "good black man" script that we get told from early childhood. And at the end of that you're basically told you'll be "rewarded" with a bride to finish out the fantasy. Sounds like Jada was his desperate attempt to complete the story. Not to say he didn't have love for her, he likely did, but she was also, at least the symbol, of his "prize" to being this admirable man to the public.
Jada was stuck at a crossroads of comfortability and image. Living for herself and living for society. Having that farm would be living for herself, but she'd be "exposed" to society and their critique, especially passing up on a symbol of black masculinity and excellence like Will. And that's likely why she chose to be with Will, she could to an extent hide her true self behind the public image. But both choices have their cons. And the latter eventually ate at her until we started getting what we see today.
Both are still holding on to something, but it doesn't seem to be each other. And I hope they can let that go, cause at least from a fan's end, the facade seems unveiled.

Iām wondering why ppl act like Will hasnāt has his affairs? Will admitted to being in love with Eva, they even kissed on the red carpet on the mouth, letās not forget that model he was spotted in like 5 countries together a couple years ago, I think Jada protects his image more than he protects herās.

āI donāt even think Pac liked womenā¦ā whoa whoa whoaā¦wait a min! Bring that back on another segment of Light Work! ššš

I'm not even mad but people keep talking about her everwhere I go. So I'm mad about that.

I think Jada is burnt out with maintaining their image as an ideal Black celebrity couple. It seems Will cares about his image, self-validation and whatever brand they as the Smiths have left, but that seems to conflict with Jadaās desires and who she is a person.
Did Will marry Jada for who she is or what she can be for his career?
Think about it: At the Oscars defended Jada, publicly calling her his wife BUT Jada said he hasnāt called her his wife in years.
She said that his efforts were from a self-centered intention. This is a woman who intimately knows Will as a person, not as an image or representation that we have held on to for years.
Imagine if the Black wives of famous Black men (activists included) told the truth about their relationship with them. There will be disappointment and a shattering of illusions.
However I DO think they deeply care about each other and have a bond that has changed over the years. I think theyāre still figuring it out and coming clean about the facade which I think will be and has been a struggle for Will.

I think it's also very important to point out that Jada did not solely emasculate Will, she certainly embarrassed him but the INTERNET emasculated him as soon as it got the opportunity too and basically blamed Jada for the impulse to turn everything into a fucking meme. For all this "concern" and talk about how "Will is trapped" or "how could she do that to him", all these same dudes were taking the still shots of Will almost crying and using them as reaction images for dumb shit.
Also Pac (and most rappers IMO) was probably pan.

This is the most balanced video about this situation Iāve seen so far. I always thought that the problems in their relationship didnāt start in 2020 but in 1997. Two people with fundamentally different values and attitudes about marriage just cannot be in a happy marriage together.
But chances are by the time they realised just how unhappy they are they fell into the fallacy of sunk costs. They had already invested so much in the relationship and Will had already gone through a divorce before. It doesnāt help that Will has said that he doesnāt believe in divorce.
But like you said at this point theyāre deciding to stay together so they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness in this case š¤·š¾āāļø.

I see a lot of āpro-marriageā conservatives shitting on herā¦ but like, sheās the blueprint for keeping a failed marriage together for family and ideology of the family. And like, sure, their scientology might play a more forceful role in that, but sheās still doin exactly what they say women divorcing their shit husbands aught to do insteadš

Everytime August Alsina is brought up my heart literally breaks. Sure, he was legally an adult but he was so vulnerable. Jada and Will are the architects of their own misery. Since Jada loves giving us so much unsolicited information about their marriage I just would like to know why they're still married

You nailed it at the end. Easier to have a villain to blame than face the ātotalityā of it all.

This marriage didn't start with red flags, it was a whole parade of sirens, and signs as high as the Empire State Building. That woman cried the entire day and he didn't think for a second that she might force herself? He probably did and simply didn't care. He himself went on to the table taking about how he was obsessed with the image of Jada, them as a power couple and what they represent within the black community. I get how they ended up in this, but they married now for nearly 30 years. There was enough time to divorce. We all know that things don't work out, Will's image as the "wholesome black man" that even the wyt folks loved is gone. Gone is the myth of pictutre perfect family. The last ounce of respectability that Will had, he lost that moment he went up on stage @ the Oscars. So I truly wondering what is keeping them together like that, maybe religion? They've been seperated for years, the kids are old enough and everything that kept them in the marriage is gone, besides their money.
Someone said on twt that they are just like our aunties and uncles, our parents or grandparents who refused to get divorce, even if they haven't spoken with each other for nearly a decade. Jada and Will just have fancy words for it. I laughed loud, but there is a lot of truth to it.

We are? I must have missed that memo, because I have zero emotional investment in Will and Jada's relationship

At first I was in the āsheās a horrible personā camp and now I just think this is all unfortunate and wish weād stop learning about their personal life especially against our will, I hope they both find what theyāre seeking
