Turns out Jada Pinkett Smith almost passed on having Jordyn Woods appear on Red Table Talk.
The Facebook Watch series, hosted by Pinkett Smith, her daughter, Willow Smith, and her mom, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, sees the three tackling tough topics and given fans insight into their lives.
Woods appeared on the show after news broke that she had hooked up with Tristan Thompson, the father of Khloe Kardashian’s daughter, True.
“It actually wasn’t something I wanted to do because it was very close [to home],” Smith revealed to People. “But as time transpired, Jordyn was just like, ‘I really need you in this platform’ and Will [Smith] felt like it was supremely important. So I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do it.’
The episode broke records as the most viewed Facebook original episode in its first 24 hours.
Pinkett Smith—whose family has known Woods since she was a child thanks to Woods’s late father, John, working as a sound engineer on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air—said she wanted to give the 21-year-old “a platform to tell her story.”
“Jordyn really felt like it was the only safe place that she could do that interview,” Pinkett Smith said. “That was my intention honestly. I just wanted her to have a platform to tell her story. That’s it.”
“She’s a young beautiful woman inside and out and me having been a young girl, we sometimes get in situations that we don’t necessarily know how to handle,” the actress continued. “You just [try to] help young girls navigate through life, through difficult situations we’ve all come across.”

Jordyn Woods isn’t waiting for her scandal to blow over.
Kylie Jenner’s maybe-former best friend stepped out at the launch event for her new Eylure false eyelashes line on Thursday night and thanked fans for their support as she attempts to navigate her feud with the Kardashian-Jenners.
“Thank you guys for coming out and supporting me through everything that’s going on,” she said, as captured by video on social media. “It’s been real …”
Woods, 21, allegedly hooked up with Tristan Thompson while he was still dating Khloé Kardashian. Khloé has since dumped Tristan, and Kim Kardashian even called her a “single mom” in the aftermath, seemingly confirming the split.
Khloé also hasn’t let her public breakup keep her down, stepping out with best friend Malika Haqq to attend the PrettyLittleThing LA Office Opening Party on Wednesday. The next day, Khloé critically addressed the scandal with quotes on her Instagram story.
“‘The worst pain is gettin [sic] hurt by a person you explained your hurt to,’” read the first quote, seemingly directed at Woods.
Although this was Woods’ first public event, she was spotted out and about in LA in an outfit that could have served as a message to Khloé and Tristan.
Woods wore a pair of sporty slides with “balance” written across one instep and “chaos” printed on the other. The sold-out men’s sandals are from Japanese brand Undercover and were originally priced at $165.
