“I’ve done a lot of sharing and growing on Facebook. Being able to engage with the Facebook Watch community in such a deeply personal way is amazing, and I’m excited to be part of something new.”
Willow excited to share her world as part of the show too.
“As a 17-year-old, it’s important for me to be able to talk openly about what’s going on in my life…there have been too many times I have felt alone,” Willow said.
“I feel like the only real valuable thing in life is sharing what we’ve gone through. Conversation, storytelling, pain, pleasure, joy, happiness and communicating that to each other is all that life really is. And for real, we put it #AllOnTheTable,” added the daughter of Will Smith.
Pinkett-Smith said she had to face her past problems with Union.
“When the producers said we want to do a girlfriends’ show, her name just kept coming up,” she continued. “It just couldn’t be anything else.”
Red Table will air on Facebook Watch May 7.
