Interviewer Wesley Lowery read an advanced copy of the book, noting that the 'Men In Black' actor does not go into much detail regarding the situation because much of it was made public in July.

"Jada never believed in conventional marriage... Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship,"?Will said of his wife of 23 years.

He further continued, "So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up. There were significant endless discussions about what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection."?

Explaining about his marriage and how people should opt for what sails their boat, Will added,?

"We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their way. And marriage for us can't be a prison. And I don't suggest our road for anybody. I don't suggest this road for anybody. But the experiences that the freedoms that we've given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love."?

Smith said he grappled with whether or not to chronicle the disclosure of Jada's time with Alsina in his book. However, he decided against it since he believed it wasn't a story he could adequately tell just from his perspective.?

He also reasoned that it would only do more harm than good regarding the public's perception of the events. Smith said,?

"The public has an impenetrable narrative. Once the public decides something, it's difficult to impossible to dislodge the pictures and ideas and perceptions."

He explained that there were already misinterpretations from their episode of 'Red Table Talk.'?

Talking about Alsina's disclosures that were the impetus for the discussion, many viewers walked away thinking that Jada was the only one engaging in sexual relationships outside the marriage.?

Will revealed that was not the case. However, as per Fox News, Lowery explained that, after conferring with Jada, Will declined to elaborate further on the matter.
