"I definitely respect and understand people's curiosity, but people, they have to trust me when I speak on my truth...If I say to you, 'I don't have an open marriage,' 'No, we're not gay,' and you don't trust that, well then there's nothing that I really have to say to anybody about anything, because at the end of the day, I'm living my life, and I'm happy."

My people....my people...smh This horrible rumor started within our own race. Why? Cause there are so many miserable, bitter and lonely black folks out there with no positive, loving couples in their lives that they THINK that all men are either cheating or having open marriages. What a sad and sorry life you must lead to think this about Will and Jada when they have said a million times that it's not true. Unless someone on here has SEEN them with someone of the same sex or opposite sex YOU DON'T KNOW!! I've been HAPPILY married for 20 years and I get the same flack from the BV losers. They just can't accept the FACT that there are people in this world that are actually happily married and who are actually enjoying their lives. But I guess this is the type of negative gossip one must succumb to in order to make their own pathetic lives seem...almost...worth while. Big ups to Will and Jada for doing their thang! They remind me so much of me and my husband...happily married, living life and enjoying life!!

If the gentleman and his wife make decisions that are private and between the two of them, that is the way it is. Since when does one have to prove his or her sexuality to anyone else? The so-called folk who talk about what goes on in LA or other cities would be better served by minding their own business. I am sure that 99% of all of the people who have purchased his music, seen his and her movies did not do so because they were seeking information about their sexuality. I think it is absurd to go to such great lengths to discuss such a private matter in an open forum such as this. It is tastless, reeks of disrespect and does nothing to preserve the dignity of the Smith family. Remember when grandmamma or big momma would slap the piss out of you when you ran your mouth when you weren't supposed to? Gossip is not cool, nor will it ever be.

It is really not that serious to us who they sleep with and really we don't care Jada. She really iritates me with thinking we care that she hangs out with Lesbians and Will sneaks around in New York with Homosexuals. Why? We don't care.
But I am mazed that her face has aged. Most black women do not age and look younger. Her face looks late 50's perhaps she needs to but some weight on.

It's known in Baltimore where Jada is from that she is gay. The problem is that she is afraid of what her coming out will do to her career. Let's face it - without Will, she has no career. And don't get me started about her music!!!

Re: Damien Thorne's response to PlainJane's comment about the lack of White Voices. That is an excellent response--"You want White Voices, turn on FoxNews, etc." The best response ever.

I'm thinking it really does make a difference and anyone saying otherwise is basically telling people not to have any morals. When you dont have morals, anything goes and anybody goes. They say "where there's smoke there is fire". Wendy Williams used to talk about Will and Jada all the time, calling Jada "Will's little boy". She had much to say about the "gayness" of these two, to the point that Will actually threatened to buy her show and send her home. LOL Thats laughable. Then here it is several years later and you have Jada confessing her love for women having sex with women. Coincidence? I think not. So, suffice to say, I hate her and Will both and wont watch anything they star in. If they happen to be in the movie and not the star, I will watch. Get out of here, telling me what I can like or dislike.
