Jada Pinkett Smith is no stranger to revealing the inside scoop on her private life, ranging from affairs to epic orgasms.
The stunning actress, who turns 50 on September 18, has previously opened up about her sex addiction struggles in a series of chats on her Red Table Talk web series which she hosts alongside her mother Adrienne Banfield Norris and daughter Willow Smith as well as a host of special guests.
In fact, their frank discussions have just won them a place on the Times 100 Most Influential People of 2021 list in the innovator category.
But reaching the sought-after position hasn’t come without its downsides for Jada after a lifetime of struggling with addiction – not just her own to drinking and working out, but her mother’s heroin addiction.
Daily Star has taken a look back at some of Jada’s open sex confessions that have been revealed over the years.
Sex Addiction

Jada has very publicly opened up about numerous experiences and addictions in her life during the Facebook Red Table Talks series.
One such topic is her struggles with sex addiction.
She said: “My sort of addictions jump around. They jump around. When I was younger, I definitely think I had a sex addiction of some kind, yes, that everything could be fixed by sex.”
Jada has also stressed the importance of finding a root cause for any addictive behaviour.

She continued: “It’s the behaviour that’s attached to it because if you want to have a lot of sex, that’s great. But why are you having all that sex? That’s what you’ve got to look at.”
She also admits that she finds the best solution for any addictive issue is to remove the behaviour or thing from your life entirely and immediately.
She explained: “That’s the thing about me, I can go cold turkey. I am a binger, and I always have to watch myself and I can just get obsessed with things.”

Jada has admitted that her sex addiction also branched into becoming obsessed with using sex toys.
She found herself having an “exploration state,” during which time she had ceased all romantic involvement with men. She claims this led her into a “kind of an addiction” to sex toys.
The actress confessed: “I’ve had a lot of experience with sex toys – lots. And then one day, I was like, ‘Enough. You’re having five orgasms a day.’”
Entanglement with August Alsina

Jada caused quite a commotion in Hollywood when she admitted to having a fling with singer August Alsina – who is 20 years her junior.
She and her husband Will Smith, 52, claim they had privately separated at the time.
The pair discussed her relationship with the younger man during an episode of Red Table Talk.
Opening up about her fling, Jada said at the time: “From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August.”

But she explained how she was grateful for how things had played out.
Will then admitted that he did consider never speaking to his wife again before they reconciled due to her indiscretion.
The Men In Black star, who appeared on the show, said: “Cause’ I wasn’t sure I was ever going to speak to you again. The fact that I’m speaking to you again is a miracle.”
Jada agreed that she was doubtful they could ever be an item again.
The Girls Trip star said that she had spoken about the affair because she was keen to “clear up” reports that suggested Will had given her “permission” and that they were in an open marriage after August gave an interview suggesting he had given them his “blessing.”
Attraction to women

Jada has openly spoken about her “sexual attraction” to women – much like her 20-year-old daughter Willow.
On a past episode of Red Table Talk, Jada opened up about her attraction to the same sex.
She stated: “Two times I’ve been infatuated with a woman.”
Following her mother’s confession, Willow admitted to her own feelings of adoration for women.
She said: “I’ve had my fair share of swooning and being like, ‘Oh my God, she’s so beautiful. She’s so talented’. I don’t feel like I’ve been in love with a woman just yet, but I definitely feel like it could happen because I’ve had very strong feelings for women before.”
