Hollywood power couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are reportedly grappling with financial issues alongside their challenges. According to recent revelations in Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir, “Worthy,” the couple has been living separately for nearly a decade. This news comes amid a backdrop of controversies, including Will Smith’s widely criticized incident at the Oscars, where he slapped comedian Chris Rock.
In Touch Weekly reports that Westbrook, the couple’s production company, is experiencing significant revenue losses and difficulties in securing new deals. The attempts to sell Westbrook have also stumbled due to its declining market value.
An insider revealed that the couple’s financial empire is under strain, leading to urgent cost-cutting measures and increased efforts to generate income. “It’s cash-crunch time,” the source said, highlighting the couple’s efforts to avoid financial pitfalls.
Professionally, both Will and Jada Pinkett Smith face setbacks. Jada’s show, “Red Table Talk,” was canceled by Meta, and Will Smith’s recent films have not achieved expected box office success.
The financial burden is also felt in their personal lives, with their $42 million mansion in Calabasas, California, proving costly due to ongoing renovations. Despite these challenges, the couple remains committed to working together. “Yes they’re separated, but they still consider themselves an important team and a force in Hollywood,” the insider stated, emphasizing their dedication to overcoming these obstacles.
