Jada Pinkett Smith was able to write her autobiography as she is in a better place after once being filled with thoughts of ending her life<\/p>\n

The actress, 52, has just published her memoir \u2018Worthy\u2019, which opens with her telling how she wanted to commit suicide.<\/p>\n

She told Parade when asked if she was finally about to write the tell-all book <\/p>\n

because she was in a better place: \u201cYeah, I decided, it was December 2021 where I was like, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m going on this journey.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to how her 55-year-old husband Will Smith attacked comic Chris Rock<\/a>, 58, on the stage of the 2021 Oscars after he poked fun at her shaved head, Jada added: \u201cDefinitely after the Oscars I was like, \u2018Whoa, maybe I shouldn\u2019t; maybe this is telling me I shouldn\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAnd I was like, \u2018No, this is part of the process.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBut I had gotten to a place in my life where I was ready to share my journey from feeling unworthy to worthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nJada also admitted even though she has opened up about her life in the book, she doesn\u2019t think it is possible for anyone to really know others.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s even possible for people to know the real you. \u201cShoot, I\u2019m still trying to know the real me. I\u2019m still on that journey.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI think for me, I feel like women sharing the depths of their journey is still very taboo.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI feel like women are still often really judged for the truth of what we endure and what we go through to become the women we want to be.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s not a pretty path, and I think a lot of times women are expected to have very pretty paths, very pretty, conventional, conformed paths.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThrough everything I\u2019ve been through, I\u2019ve been through the gauntlet. I\u2019ve been through the gauntlet of the harshest criticism, and I am here standing 10-toes-down in my self-worth, right?<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAnd so, I felt that if anybody can share a lot of the truth of her journey, it would be me, so that other women who might not have that courage yet can feel seen and shed whatever shame or whatever judgment that they might have on their journey. And to know that part of feeling holistic is embracing it all, the light along with the shadow, and that we are allowed to dance with our shadows.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
