Everyone was talking about the drama on social media, with people choosing sides in the debate. However, some pointed out that Jada’s relationships with August could be interpreted as predatory. A Reddit thread brought out a lot of people who held this opinion:
“Is it not strange to anyone how Jada mentions they were helping this kid through an illness? On top of all the shitty things here – she was taking what she wanted, he was considerably younger – she was first and foremost a support figure for a sick kid (well, like, 21 or 22). I just find that super gross, and it says something about her character.”
“Oh my god THIS! It’s crazy how many people are focusing on the ‘affair’ part. He was 21, Jaden’s best friend at the time, and was dealing with mental illness. The Smiths were allegedly getting him help and it ended with Jada sleeping with him. Imagine if the situation was reversed and Will had taken advantage of a mentally ill family friend 20 years his junior.”
“She wants to sound like this was a learning process and healing and all the crap but in reality she slept with a young kid with a mental illness.”
What do you think of all this drama?
