Video After The Jump
On Wednesday, Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne “Gammy” Banfield Norris discussed drug addiction, particularly focusing on the increase of alcohol consumption among women in the latest Red Table Talk episode titled, “Are You Drinking Too Much? A Wake Up Call for Women.”
“One of the reasons why this particular show was really important to me is because wine, for me, was like Kool-Aid. ‘Cause, like, I was a–you know, a brown liquor drinker, vodka–like, I was a hard liquor drinker. Like, I could drink almost anybody under the table,” Jada began.
Jada recalled that she would mix drugs such as alcohol, weed and ecstasy, which eventually affected her work—particularly a time when she passed out on the set of The Nutty Professor (1996) due to consuming a bad batch of ecstasy.
“I had one incident,” Jada said. “That was an eye-opening incident for me as well. I had one incident on Nutty Professor. I passed out. Makeup trailer.”
That, along with “throwing up all over” Debbie Allen’s house was Jada’s “rock bottom”—it was her wake-up call.

In my 20’s I was a binge drinker and experimented with several types of mind altering substances. In this clip I speak on an incident that happened to me in the make up trailer on Nutty Professor after a weekend of partying. pic.twitter.com/4xiBsBx5jZ
