Jada Pinkett Smith Accused Of 'Bullying' Will Smith After Video Of Tense Exchange Resurfaced

Jada Pinkett Smith has been accused of bullying her husband Will Smith.

Entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David made the accusations during a recent episode of his "PBD" podcast, in which he wore a T-shirt that says, "#FreeWill."

Fans recently used hashtags such as #FreeWill and #FreeWillSmith to show their support for the "Men In Black" star after footage of a tense exchange between Smith and his wife resurfaced online following his slapping of Chris Rock at the Oscars late last month.

Bet-David, who was joined by Adam Sosnick, Tony Hinchcliffe and Vincent Oshana in the podcast episode, discussed the couple's marriage, claiming that he and Joe Rogan made a bet regarding whether or not the Smiths would divorce in 12 months.

"We made a bet, and the bet was what within 12 months, there's gonna be a divorce or there's not gonna be a divorce," Bet-David claimed. "I bet on the 100-dollar divorce. ... I said no one's willing to take me on this, but he [Rogan] says I'll bet you. Let's bet 100 bucks."

Bet-David explained why he believes the couple may eventually split, alleging that Pinkett-Smith was bullying her husband.

"For me, it was more from the standpoint of that video that came out with Jada ... and Jada bullying Will ... and Will saying, 'Social media is my bread and butter, I don't appreciate what you're doing right now,' and she says, 'You can tell now why we have issues in our marriage,'" Bet-David claimed. "I think Jada's a bully. I think Jada Pinkett Smith is a bully and she's bullying Will."

The podcast host also said the hashtag "#FreeWill" is necessary because he claims Smith appears "afraid" to call it quits with his wife.

The couple made headlines following the 94th Academy Awards after Smith stormed the stage and hit Rock across the face for joking about his wife's shaved head. Smith has since apologized and resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

An unnamed source told Us Weekly that Pinkett Smith was not "angry with" her husband over the incident, but she "wishes he didn't" hit Rock that night.

"She's not one of these women that needs protecting. He didn't need to do what he did, she didn't need protecting. She's not a wallflower," the tipster continued. "She's a strong woman, an opinionated woman and she can fight her own battles. But she will stand by him."

Days after the awards ceremony, a video filmed by Pinkett Smith on her Instagram Live in 2019 to promote her show, "Red Table Talk," resurfaced on social media and sparked speculation regarding the couple's marriage.

In the video, the "King Richard" star asked his wife not to film him at their home without asking him first, but Pinkett Smith continues to do so, telling her viewers she's "still dealing with foolishness."

Smith appeared visibly upset as he then told his wife, "My social media presence is my bread and butter so you can't just use me for social media. Don't just start rolling. I'm standing in my house. Don't start rolling."
