There’s no doubt that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith share a loving and understanding relationship as evidenced by their 25 years of marriage. Their journey hasn’t been a smooth one, but what sets them apart is the open-mindedness they bring to their marriage. Despite scandals like Jada Smith’s affair with August Alsina, the couple’s relationship with each other and their children remains unshaken.
The romance between the Smiths during the years they were dating was incredibly intense. Sometime after their engagement, theGirls Tripactress committed to the romcom film,Woo, and theFocusactor frequently visited her on set. However, it didn’t turn out well for her co-star.

Jada Pinkett Smithwas paired with Tommy Davidson in the Daisy Mayer film. Davidson gained recognition as a cast member of the sketch comedy show,In Living Color. In his memoir titled,Living in Color: What’s Funny about Me, Davidson opened up about the altercation he had withWill Smithover kissing his then-fiancée, Jada Smith.
The comedian had a great time on set as he got along well with theHawthorneactress. Davidson was not impressed by the ending of the film and decided to perform a dance number as the credits rolled. Davidson got Smith to agree to the dance idea, but he failed to mention that he had also discussed with a producer a kiss between him andThe Matrix Reloadedactress.
Obviously, theScream 2actress was not prepared for the unrehearsed kiss scene, and according to Davidson, Jada Smith flinched during the kiss. A while later, Will Smith, who happened to be on set, came to Davidson’s trailer and things quickly got ugly between them. Davidson wrote in his book:
“Will went all gangsta on me, saying what I did was not cool. There was a moment there when we might have come to blows. My reactive fight-or-flight instinct was triggered and I could have exploded.”
However, Jada Smith, who followed theEmancipationactor to the trailer, deescalated the situation between the two actors.

Tommy Davidson appeared in a 2019 episode of Jada Pinkett Smith’s talk show, theRed Table Talk. The comedian recounted his experience with Smith’s kind nature when they worked together onWoo. Davidson spoke at theRed Table Talk:
“[The] first time that we worked together — and I really got to know you on the set of Woo — I came out for a scene and you looked at me and you said, ‘Something’s wrong with you.’ I was like, ‘What you talking about? Let’s just get to work.’ I said, ‘My mother contacted, my real mother and she was on the phone. I got a chance to talk to her but I don’t want to deal with that.’ She said, ‘Oh really? OK, hold — that’s a wrap!’”
