Interestingly, Will Smith questioned his wife during the filming to answer "clearly what happened" between her and August.

She responded, "I got into an entanglement with August."

She continued, "A relationship, it was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain, I was broken and in the process of that relationship, I definitely realized that you can't find happiness outside of yourself. And luckily enough, you and I were also going through a process of healing in a much different manner."

At the time, Jada said "It had been so long since I felt good," adding that it was also a "joy to help heal somebody," referring to her relationship with Alsina.
