Long before Jada Pinkett Smith landed into an entanglement with August, partially catalyzed the infamous Academy Awards slap, and started getting a bit too candid about her personal life on the internet, the actress had greater ambitions than Hollywood — selling drugs.


Shortly after the release of her memoir, Worthy, last week, the actress opened up about growing up in Baltimore, revealing that as a teen, she aspired to become a “queen pin.”



“Growing up, the drug dealers were the ones that had affluence," she recalled, noting that at the time, "that’s what we readily saw as success.”

“And so for me, considering my circumstances at the time, my mother was not doing well,” she continued. “She was a high-functioning heroin addict. We didn't have the things that we should have. The home we lived in was not taken care of.”


As such, Pinkett Smith admitted that she found herself “caught up in the scenery” in this new world.


“I was rollin’ with some really high rollers at the time. That's a whole ‘nother Jada, a whole ‘nother Jada that would chase somebody down the alley with a switchblade because they stole $700,” she recalled. “Or the Jada that would sell crack cocaine and then get set up and two dudes come in with nine-millimeters and she gets a gun put to her head.”




But more than expressing shock at the Hollywood darling’s past career, several fans were overcome with another emotion — annoyance at Pinkett Smith’s insistence on sharing every single detail of her personal life, especially as it pertained to her marriage to Will Smith and her past romance with late rapper Tupac Shakur.


“Can we all just agree to launch Jada Pinkett Smith to the moon?” asked @LizInFallsCity.


“Pretty sure world peace can be achieved if Jada Pinkett Smith just shuts the ---- up,” added @neontaster.
