I bring all the tea and jokes through lighthearted commentary and short video clips about many Daytime TV shows. The shows that I discuss are The Real, The Wendy Williams Show, TMZ Live, The Steve Harvey Show, Ellen, The View, and more. I discuss hot topics from these shows while also adding my own sense of humor about the topics and the hosts of the shows. These are some of my favorite shows and I am a fan!

You never know what a person's smile may be hiding.
I knew. I'm an empath and I remember feeling so much pain through her that it pissed me off at the caretakers in her life. I'm no longer mad but I really hope she had got the comfort and attention she deserved from her elders growing up.
So True, I Say That Sometimes 😕
lee ann Soooooo True!
lee ann very true
So true 🤔
I love how her mum reacted, she is such a kind and understanding mum. I wish my mum understood me.
I know I'm 3 years late, but as a self harm survivor I gotta tell you it's real easy to hide from those who care about you. That emotional pain is so hard to deal with that the physical pain makes it easier and like they said it's more tangible and you can touch it, it's just a bad (and actually potentially addicting) coping mechanism and I think it needs to be talked about more because it's so prevalent in young people (not just girls) and the sooner the stigma is ended the easier it'll be to ask for help
Ive try to cut my self I coudnt. And I fell bad because makes think that the pain I have is not that paintful if i can not cut myselft
I respect Willow SO SO MUCH for being open & honest about this. I hope young girls today don’t make the mistakes we did. Some scars never go away 🫂 Some scars we cannot see but they heal. May everyone who struggles with self harm begin healing Today 2023
There's NO WAY that was her first time revealing that to her mom. I think they may have agreed to discuss this on camera. No way I would’ve been that calm, cool and collected if my baby told me that. But then again, not every person reacts the same. Just such a weird scene to me...
It's possible that she said it, and they edited out a breakdown to not take away from the show. Maybe cried, collected themselves and continued. But I'm not sure, I don't think this is a live show.
Yeah of course they knew they just faked being suprised. They are actors and scientologists, its part of the cult
I think the mature personality of willow has influence her reaction
Check out the NEWEST Red Table Talk about SEX! Ya'll Jada said her GRANDMA talk her to Masterbate at 9 YEARS OLD! MUST WATCH!!!! ruclips.net/video/jYesPXHlpho/видео.html
It doesn't matter if you are famous or not, we are all people and we go through moments of darkness, finding ourselves and living. Poor Willow.
I’ve experienced what willow has experienced, I experienced loss of my father when I was 11… really put me in a deep hole for a while. I feel for willow
i like how’s Her mom reacted she is such a kind and understanding mother
Jada and Will are such great parents aside from that “entanglement” bullshit. They’re understanding and accepting of the things their kids go through.
You can just tell she's trying not to cry, by playing it cool, the way she talks, i've been there, I know it's an act, and I feel bad for her
I self harm and I can understand Willow. I am usually open to my own mom but she was brave to admit to her mom the way she did on public TV. I'm still scared to tell my own mom. And the way she described it, I can 100 percent relate to what she said.
JUST LOST MY BROTHER AND ALL I SAY TO MY SELF TOO FEEL GOOD IS WE ALL ARE GOING DOWN THAT WAY EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAVE AND END
2:07 she looks so much like will smith
So sad that Jada didn't even know that her daughter's going through some rough road 😔
My granddaughter did.that early on now she's 16 and healthy praise God
It's a real thing. I'm glad Jada, her mom, and Willow are honest, transparent, and candid. I'm proud of Willow. Lord knows this life isn't easy.
zheahra Amen
"transparent" funny how her new song is called transparent soul :)
@@shweeroomdrrr9264 I WAS THINKING THAT😭
Its incredibly easy compared to mine
🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 My god! You are SO blind
I hope her story helps somebody! Because they are really putting their business out there!!
Lailah Lynn Yea that's super deep. I low key think Jada knew but reacted like that for the dramatics of the show.
Lailah Lynn Willow STILL seems to be looking for help and guidance from her mom and grandma. Sometimes, the ONLY way to be heard is "In Public".
Her business have always been "out there". Celebrities have limited privacy which is sad.
Even if it only helps one person, that’s enough. It was very helpful to me with my daughter. People in our society are sooooo terrified to speak the real. They want to only show all the glitter in their lives & never the rain. If we stop treating things like this as taboo or not to be talked about we might start to see a better generation for our kids.
Lailah Lynn why did she do that
That's a lot for a 10 year.
Sharon Darsan she’s always been deeper than her age
I can't imagine a 10 year old having so much emotions at such a young age. I am glad she shared her story. GOD bless
Angelxbaby88 oof. I had to go to therapy at age 12 due to self harm and my therapist taught me about childhood depression. It comes in many forms, from extreme anger, to overwhelming anxiety. It’s been years since I learned this though so I could be ill informed on symptoms now.
Sabria Ramirez how old were you when you were no longer happy. Need to know what to be aware of. Thanks for sharing and being so honest. I thought depression started with puberty and adolescence with children.
Sharon Darsan yeah. not to mention her being a singer and having to tour. it can take a toll on you.
I would have been in tears if this were my daughter admitting to something like this to me. I'm thinking we would need a hugging break or something.
olivia wonderful I'm guessing Jada knew but for the round table they wanted to get deep and make it as real as possible for the viewers. I commend those women.
olivia wonderful right
olivia wonderful I think Jada was crying and the cut out the clip
emi it doesn’t matter how deep it was. Please, stop comparing self harm, it’s not good for anyone. If someone is doing harm to themselves you should comfort them because whether it’s hitting, scratching, cutting or burning yourself because that person is just as important as the next.
It wouldn't help anything
I’m glad she talked about it because I’m going through the same thing and it’s so hard, it’s not easy
19894angel hang on gurly:)

Justin Mitchell you shluld have more likes than this...great comment💕
My life in a comment ....
But everyday not in some point
idunno So its always important to have someone to support you or someone that u can turn to when you are feeling down.
Wow Willow got gift of talk from her dad
Are you serious!?!?! 🤪😵🥴
Like I am like this like it is like...
What a gifted speaker.... my a$$!!! 😒
Oh my God. She looks like her dad
Barbs 1111 spitting image!
Barbs 1111 Exactly like him. She basically has his face.
YES BAAAD!!!!
She speaks like him and her body language is just like him too.
Yup. Exactly like him. Lol.
I don't think she should have told her mom on camera. I mean at least not for the first time anyway. It's gotta be hard finding out something like that about your child alongside the rest of the world. I'm glad she's doing ok now though.
afro curly girl but it's good that she told someone.. even if it was on camera. When people go through things it's hard to tell people... But u can tell she was going through something from how her style and personality changed up after the "wipe my hair" era..
It could help other girls who is cutting themselves
afro curly girl THAT THE SAME THING ARE WAS THINKING.
afro curly girl I don’t think she planned to do it. You can tell by how she tried to hold it back. In all honesty, it was a perfect time for HER.
Sometimes it’s easier to tell your truth in a more public forum. That’s why there’s the Dr Phil Show, Maury etc.
She's so mature and it's true , more young girls have done cutting than most would think.
I did it when I was in elementary school because of depression after being touched inappropriately by someone who was supposed to be a trusted person.
Cutting is a chemical thing I won't get into because it's long af but it's easily Googled.
Was I uncomfortable watching the clip, yeah... do I think she's very mature and brave for sharing her story ..absolutely
SARA
Thank you ♥️😘
I actually started a new job today , God is GOOD ♥️
Starr Shines yeah here in my town. A girl created a support group for self harmers
this is true most children cut them self when they are molested
Why tell your mother for the first time on camera??? 😯😯 This would've literally had me in tears to know my daughter was hurting so much that she inflicted harm on herself. Damn 😩
Kay Klash im sitting here like how can jada hold it together to ask questions, i would have been a mess!
That girl has always been too grown for her age with too much freedom as a little girl.
Kay Klash You can't put a time on when she should tell her mom maybe she felt that was the only way she could have told her mom in the presence of both mom and grandma,ijs.
We feel like no one cares anyway I'm 32 now but I went through the same thing as a 12 year old you want to feel physical pain because of internal pain if that makes any sense
Tera Rose Yes! I never cut myself but I always wanted to as a teen and sometimes even now. I hope my baby girl doesn't go through that ever.
I love that she talked about this and didn't attack or judge Willow when she did talk about it but supported her. Something that i can learn in order to support my kids to be functional and able to communicate better. Love love love the red table and this video.
Exactly!! Yes, this definitely opens up a whole new perspective, when it comes to parenting. Especially, if "YOU KNOW" each of your children are growing up in a different era including the media, body image and body shaming. Good for you--
#MeToo!🙌🙌
There was always something off about Willow, especially at that age she felt she was “insane”. You can tell she was debating/struggling on HOW and IF she should let out that secret of cutting herself. The flow and energy was there and I am very happy she was able to get that off her chest. I bet she feels a whole lot lighter in her heart, mind and spirit 💜
Thank you Candice for upload. It doesn't surprise me that Willow went through an unfortunate "Dark Period" in her young adolescent. She is Extremely blessed to have such a strong Mother and Grandmother to not JUDGE her. She comes from an eccentric family and I'm sure there's high expectations. But in my own family I was not so lucky. As some of us, didn't have or come from similar backgrounds. I was taught crying shows sign of weakness( I know otherwise now) and my mother was ignorant to the fact of what happens in our house, stays in our house . Family secrets, became a generational Curse. Which caused much turmoil in my early 20's-30's.
Through my faith I overcame a lot. And created my own New Family in which I was not born into, Who
Became my safe place to grow, mature etc. This was a great Clip and goes to show, that we all have something, along this journey, which allows us to be able to be compassionate to others, because We Never know, when someone is on the edge of suicide, hurting themselves or others.🙏🙏🙏
Tami Johnson it doesn’t seem genuine to me 👀👀
Rob and Brina
You are entitled to your own opinion, that's the beauty of "Candice's Tea Time" its a place
to have YOUR OWN opinion, comments etc.. I respect, admire ANYONE who is courageous and brave enough to be vulnerable in this forumn. In my opinion, "ANY PLACE... that allows a " SAFE SPACE, to let something out, that's hurting you, is a healthy thing. Again this is "My Own" opinion.... Enjoy the rest of your day..😇
Ur hella strong for getting through that. My family is like that too. It's like if anybody else does some fucked up shit excuses are made for and all is forgiven and forgotten. But when I fuck up or breakdown I am pathetic, ridiculous, cruel or it's "all in my head." It's not easy having no support.
Chenelle Richards
Thank you for that.. Just know that You know! You're are somebody, and you Matter. God sees and knows everything. Find strength in Spirituality, and that "Karma" exists, it's real. Believe in you.. God bless you Dear sister🙏
Tami Johnson Thanks for sharing some of you. Having a mental illness is so taboo in our community and it is a blesding she was able to share her story to the world. Maybe more youth will speak out about their feelings.
Some people might think she did it for attention but if no one knew she did it cuz she was in a dark place..glad she figured out that's not what to do..bless her heart
I actually appreciate the way jada and her mom responded. I feel like responding as a “parent or grandparent” like most people suggested will not give her the comfort to be open about her feelings. I don’t think they came off as friend you can even see jada crying but she was holding it in so her daughter could express herself freely. I loved the way they raised their children. Even though willow went through what she went through she still managed to handle her emotions accordingly without causing more harm to herself. Kudos to jada and will for being such great parents.
I think the right time to tell someone is whenever you are ready. That may be the time that the person is ready to receive it. My oldest has sprung some heavy stuff on me at a time where I thought it wasn’t a good time, but then I realized that there really isn’t a perfect time. If we are already on the topic, and it is heavy on your heart...just let it out. I’d rather that than to never know.
One of my twins went through something similar last month. I took her to the hospital and when the nurse asked how long she’s been contemplating suicide her reply was “since around 8 years old” her twin and I just broke down. Because everyone never even hinted a sign of that deep depression from her... it’s scary but with conversation my bf and I had those episodes as well growing up it was just swept under the rug so to say.
Latasha Ramsel We need to be more open about mental health. Breakdowns. Suicidal thoughts. Depression. Anxiety. People need to be compassionate when one does open up. I pray for you and your daughters. Bless You and your family.
Latasha Ramsel I hope that you all are getting counseling. It can be tough on the parents as well as the children. I'm hoping that my mother will get counseling because she has gone through so much with me, in addition to other life stresses.

Am I the only person uncomfortable with the clip of Willow telling her mom and grandmother about her cutting herself? I’m all for you trying to be your child’s friend but it seemed so odd that Jada and her mom reacted like friends as opposed to parent and grandparent. I’m not one to judge someone’s relationships but they reacted as if one of their friends were sharing a secret. Maybe this wasn’t new news to them and that explained their reaction. I don’t know, it all just seemed weird to me.
Deuce Davis how would you prefer they reacted? I think their reaction was really good because it enabled willow to explain her feelings and tell them how she dealt with it. If they got angry or told her off etc... she would’ve closed off and probably felt like she wouldn’t be able to tell them anything else and they would never have understood what made her do it. Also I think what the lady said is wrong. Just because a family has a strong unit it doesn’t mean they don’t individually suffer or hide things from each other.
Katrina Paden thank u overreacting freaks them out I have see it
I didn’t say how they reacted was wrong, I just said the exchange made me feel uncomfortable especially seeing how dangerous cutting can be.
I totally agree. I also feel like if Jada didn’t have such a laissez-faire parenting style with her children that she would’ve had some sort of inkling that her child was suffering. How do you not know that about your 10-year-old?
Marz Boland did ur parents know everything about you when you were her age?
The comments are really cringy. I wouldn’t put blame on the parents, it’s many people that struggle with many things and the parents have no idea. It’s not what JADA & WILL didn’t do, they did great as parents. But that just goes to show you can be the best parent in the world and your child can go through it. I hope we can stop shifting blame onto parents, they do the best they can. The fact that willow was open and honest is REALLY brave. #mentalhealthawarenessweek
Curly Girl so true.
Curly Girl
#Yes Sizter!!💖💖💖
Curly Girl Very well said. I agree with all you said. Bless you.
Nelia Aguiar
Thanks! It's unfortunate that Willow "went through" that, and she let herself be vulnerable, in an open forum. But, it's amazing how it has created a type of "Sizterhood"here in this comment section. I've read some .... "Courageous" stories. I also feel that at some level, Jada knew this, whether rehearsed or otherwise, because as a Mother, responding at that very moment, Willow said she cut herself, she/ grandma, didn't reach out and hugged her, cried with her, ask filming to stop, etc...to capture that "Powerful" response of pain she inflicted upon herself, and REALLY deal with it. Unless, her Parenting style is not of that level of nurturing. Parenting and Motherhood is variously different, to all of us. I know, I would have, "Shut IT DOWN" to address it differently.
Thank you for taking the time to respond, either way. I wish you Much peace on your everyday of your Journey...💗🙌
Are you close to their family? If not, you can't make the statement that they're such great parents. Just because they're well spoken, professional and also lovable on tv doesn't mean they're like that all the time or with their children... And please dont foolishly start saying I'm hating or put words in my mouth. I'm not saying Will and Jada are bad parents or that they have change who they are at home .... I don't know them well enough to make those claims! All I'm saying is you can't assume people are great parents or that the parent's aren't 'at fault' if you don't know what the household is like first hand.
I’ve dealt with depression and self harm since I was about 9 and my parents were absolutely great ! It has nothing to do with her parents .. some people actually just “wake up” feeling as if they have no purpose in life .. and they are too afraid to talk about it .. I’m glad she made it through bc a lot of people don’t
I’m glad she opened up and told her mother! Im sure that discussion was on going when they finished filming!!! Good video!
It was a shock to me but at the same time I was a surprise because so many kids especially girls go through this and the parents have no idea that their children are harming themselves(cuters) it's not uncommon unfortunately!
We recently learned my friend's HS daughter is cutting herself to deal with emotional pain. I think Willow and Jada put it in good terms: It's making the pain physical as opposed to just being emotional. I guess we all deal with pain/grief different... I didn't hurt my body externally... but I tend to abuse my body internally when I'm in pain or feeling anxiety. 😔🥀
I always knew she was gg through sth. I spotted sth strange about her , i felt like she was lost.. to be honest i still believe she is still a bit lost but not like before. I feel like she has a lot more things to reveal. I don't Know i get that from her aura.
PeaceLove&Wisdom me too i noticed because when she cut her hair i feel like it meant more than just that . If ya get what i mean
koodiebrazy yes I gotcha
Weirdly same I felt her vibe die out and her energy was off
yeah..that's true ...I always feel she pretends to be a happy person... she really ga some hidden emotional problems..
PeaceLove&Wisdom her kwn fault and her parents. Kids go through worse and end up better like me...
I use to burn and scratch myself in adolence. It was such a hard awkward time for me. And it did give a face to the deep emotional pain. I never knew anyone that did it. I'd never even heard of it. So it's just amazing how deep emotional pain tends to manifest itself outwardly in the same way in individuals whom may never have even heard of cutting..scratching or burning. To some now may have not been the right time for her to reveal it on camera like that. But there may be some little girl or some older woman or man that comes to grips with what they're doing to themselves and actually be helped by it. We generally are connected spiritually as human beings therefore the most seemingly random of things come up at what appears to be the most inopportune times however your audience pulls out of you what they need from you if that makes sense. So I hope if anyone is the reading my comment and you're possibly cutting yourself or burning yourself or scratching yourself or pulling your hair or pinching yourself. It's just an outward manifestation of some deep-rooted emotional issues that sooner rather than later you're going to have to deal with. And I pray that you find the peace and self-love that it takes to overcome such a horrible thing. I'm here today that was over 30 years ago that I did that so I'm a witness that prayer self-love and time can heal all wounds. And there are a lot of people who have deep-rooted emotional pain and may not manifest as cutting or burning or biting or pulling of hair but is manifesting through drugs sex gambling and the like. So may God help us all to be nicer to ourselves and kind to ourselves ourselves. When we really truly understand that concept there's no way that we can't be kind to ourselves as well as to others. God bless everyone on this post.

#AMEN Sizter!
Been there, done that. You are a brave and courageous woman to share your struggles. It took me well into my 40's to get to the place in which I had to, also let all of my "STUFF" out to deal with it, because it was showing up in different areas of my life. God is soo good ain't he...
I wish you nothing but the best of happiness in your life..🙌🙌💖
Tami Johnson
Thank you and to God be the glory for allowing us to be here! We definitely don't look like what we've been through and I wish you nothing but happiness and joy as well! Thank you for your response.
God bless you love 💕
CherryPop Pop
I understand well.
Amber D!
Thanks and y'all too
She has such a healthy representation of feminine energy of her life, when you listen to how she even expresses herself in her music these days, you really feel it. Her recent album shares how she channeled her pain and even referencing the music industry and wanting her freedom, and how she is not a piece of property. It all makes so much sense now! Willow is such a beautiful soul and she is so strong!
That entire segment was eye opening as to what happened to Willow. I was inspired not to overreact when my child says something or confides in me. I want all of my children to be able to tell me whatever. It was hard for me to hear she had been cutting herself. I’m still wondering if the young lady is okay
Katina K. Davenport
AMEN😇
Amen 🙏🏿 I have 4 girls and I know how I overreact even with my husband so I pray will not with kids if they open up to me
Pk’s, celebrity kids, rich family kids, high authority kids are some of the most misunderstood children in my opinion. The world thinks their so happy and living the best life all bc of the money, special attention, fame, or high expectations bc of the family status . When secretly they’re some of the most depressed, unhappy, lost misunderstood children bc of status and expectations. Regardless of rich or poor , or family status kids must be kids and try to live as close to a normal life as they can according to their own family situation. I wouldn’t trade a day with a rich and famous, or preachers kid over my own normal comfortable life and lifestyle.
Plain Jane totally agree
I'm a pk and that's all I'm going to say about that :(
SassyB diy no disrespect, hope you took no offense. Also hope my opinion meant something to you 💞
Plain Jane none at all, you are correct in your assessment, I just... sigh, I could write a book on this subject...
SassyB diy and you can , write a book and tell your story you never know who you will be helping. Much luv 💞
I can relate I lost my sanity at 10... it’s even harder to deal with when you’re afraid to talk about it. Instead of cutting myself I was taking Tylenol PM pills like 4-5 and drinking half of bottles of nighttime cough medicine. At 33 I decided to go to therapy and just now accepting my journey.
Mind Ova Matter
AMEN😇
I'm so glad you are in good place. Because I can truly relate.
SARA thank you! It’s not easy because it’s still a battle... I always tell young girls to always speak up! Holding things in and carrying over into adulthood causes so many issues emotionally, mentally and physically. Therapy helps, but I won’t be fully healed until I write an open letter to person who was supposed to protect me and we have and honest conversation about it! Which I doubt I will ever do. I forgiven them for hurt that was caused.
Tami Johnson glory be to the most high!
Sheila French it’s still a battle for me since I have a daughter I make sure that our lines of communication is open and that she can talk to me about any and everything! I will never betray her like I was betrayed!! Therapy is good... you will feel so much better just talking and releasing those burdens to someone who won’t judge you. Also helping younger girls to know it’s okay to be vocal and helping them through their troubles.
She needs to go to school and enjoy childhood during that age instead of working, touring or making albums.
That's true
I don't feel like there's anything wrong with her sharing on camera. I understand exactly why she did it. For one, she overcame it and maybe some other little girl needs to hear it. I can tell Jada is shocked and as a mother I do not judge her for not knowing. Mother's are expected to be super heros and we just aren't, but if we were lol super heros have weaknesses as well.
Thats really sad to hear because Willow is beautiful and seems like a good hearted person. Im glad they filmed this because things like this need to be said. We need to start paying attention to these things, so we can address the elephant in the room.
I know I’m double commenting but, could y’all really not talk about how saying it on camera was wrong or how the parents didn’t react how YOU think they should?! If you have never dealt with someone confessing something so dark to you OR you having to confess something like that to your loved ones, hush 🤫 This is something more BLACK families should be openly speaking about anyway. Rich or poor, mental health issues do not care...and simply keeping quiet and praying about it is NOT helping either. *gets off soapbox* 🙃
I don’t think she ever planned on telling it. Maybe she wasn’t ready till then. This show is about honesty and I think she did her part by telling her truth when she needed to.
Back when I did it my mom didn't care and forgot like a week later
Exactly! And not everyone is very emotional or expressive. Just because someone doesn’t seem upset doesn’t mean they aren’t. And I think crying or reacting emotionally won’t help your child, but staying level headed and trying to figure out how to help them will.
Please you ain’t gotta put everything on TV keep some shit in the family.
@@brendonkingdavis5945 If they want to tell it then they can.
My son was doing this... I found out when he was 16... But what really got us through this is communication. And actively getting involved on the things the metter for him. I'm so thankful that we are in a better place now.
I make sure to check in with my baby (21-year-old). Long conversions to stay abreast of what's on her and what she is feeling. Transparencies all the way... Peace and blessings to all
I am not surprised at all by willow’s revelation as I always felt something was odd and disingenuous about that family.I also remember that awhile ago,when she was around 10 or 11,she said she wished she went to a regular school and also that she craved for more parental guidance in her life.I can’t believe how people ignored what this little girl was trying to convey and at this point,she was clearly demonstrating signs of depression(people see what they want to see)and yet,the public carried on saying what a cute and perfect family they were🤔🤷🏽♀️
Idk why I love that part of George Harrison drinking tea in the beginning of your clips 😂😂😂
I PRAY to the Lord our Father that this brings the family closer. She NEVER had to say it and did. Lord Jesus guide Willow to help other young women as you see fit. AMEN.
Good job on pointing out this video and congratulations lady's on discussing self-inflicted harm whether it be mental or physical anytime is a good time to have that discussion and it is important to keep clear communication between us all especially our children
Maybe she was jus to young to get into show biz..
Starr Debbie Venus Hmmm maybe Children don't need to be making their own decisions.
debo rah exactly..
Starr Debbie Venus I agree💯
It was pretty obvious you could see it in her eyes as I believe Will Smith has been going through something as well!Eyes dont lie!
"Communication creates partnerships. We can't help you with the things we don't know."
This just shows that no matter what kind of parents you have and how close you are, that kids will talk if they want. Some kids never open up even if they have supportive people in their lives. She should have known that that is something that should have been discussed ahead of time.
I see why it's best to keep children out of the limelight until their old enough..this is soo sad. 10 is very to be going through all that stress. When I was 10 I was still playing with dolls smh..
It's a serious emotional rollercoaster from someone who also self harmed it's really hard to express those thoughts before you are afraid of the response y'all get from family, friends, and society. Especially as a blk woman, we are look at to be these strong powerful figures but we deal with a tremendous amount of stress and depression. I'm so glad Jada find the self courage to pull herself out of that mind state cause some ppl don't, I have lose many friends and love ones to this.
Real talk. WILLOW you are a great mentor for young women. I can see that. Bless You and your family
I lost my daughter Makaylah to suicide just this past January 2018. Never knew the signs until after we loss her. We started a page on Facebook called Crying Eyes where I post videos like this one to the younger generations in hopes of reaching out and saving lives. Our daughter is working through us in hopes of reaching out. Our grieving process is helping us by helping others live. The world is so beautiful! My daughter didnt get to live out her dreams but we definitely want her legacy to live through those who will get to live out theirs! This clip was an eye opening experience for me and I hope it reaches out to many others. I did share it on the Crying Eyes page.

THAT'S SO HEARTBREAKING TO KNOW BUT NOT UNBELIEVABLE CONSIDERING YOUNG GIRLS WHO ARE TRYING TO PROCESS AN ABUNDANCE OF DEVELOPING EMOTIONS. EVERYTHING SEEMS SO EPIC & LIFE ENDING, IT CAN BE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GOING THROUGH SO MANY CHANGES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE AT ONCE.
Thank you so much for sharing this. As a mental health counselor who works with teens and adolescents, it's not surprising to learn that parents are totally unaware of cutting. It's nice to see black families talking and walking together to deal with mental illness. Love you much Jada 😍😍
I see a lot of people saying she shouldn't have told her mom on camera. We dont know the Smith Family. We dont know what's going on behind closed doors. We dont know why Willon felt comfort in front of the camera verses off camera. Honestly I always suspect something going on within that family. The children reflect it even without saying a word. Ask yourself why is she depressed as a child? Why is Jaden seeking attention too? Willow basically said last time that she wanted more attention from her mom and Gma. I understand depression. I have seen it several times. It doesn't always show up as someone who is say all the time. It you're not educated on it. You can miss the signs. My prayers are up for that whole family.
I've been going thru a lot of depression lately and it's really inspiring to hear them speak about what they have gone thru in their lives and how they work thru it.
It is true. We all have something go on. I'm glad this is talked about. This is happening, then and now. I used to feel depressed at a very young age, like 7. Never was able to talk about it. I watched a lot of Oprah and started understanding myself more. Awareness.
Willow is very strong for putting this out there. You never know what someone’s going through because a smile can hide a lot.
I definitely understand where willow is coming from and I'm glad her mother and grandmother were asking questions and trying to understand where she was coming from rather than to bash her or show anger out of ignorance and confusion. That is a lot of reason why many young black girls don't tell their families about depression or self harm because it's either shoved under the rug and not taken seriously or there is judgement and punishment bc of it. Your kids are people too and their emotions and feelings you should embrace no matter what whether you understand or can relate or not.
I've gone through some very low moment's in my life from having scars on the same arm as willow at the age of 13 year's old from seeing and thinking my father was dead from harming his self, turned out my father just had abandon me and he wasn't dead at all. My depression played a big role in my life so I can relate, I can relate from the cutting scars down to having one leg out the window talking myself down from jumping from the 18th floor. Those experiences along with others have taught me im better then that! Man I see my worth! My worth is so much more then the lesson I've gone through, so I take the lessons and just apply the knowledge to my personal life. Although I was the one behind these poor choices of harming myself to this day I can't imagine why I thought those people or experiences were worthy of my life, perfect or not. Im working on my spiritual self everyday, I will win the war and so will you. I pray to god for everyone else in these situation that you can understand yes there will be hard days in your life, death may seem like the solution to a temporary issue but it's far from the correct solution. You're special keep your head up and take that damage from what you went through and ware it as a honor, You're so strong guy's❤😘👍💯💯💯
At 10 years old. Frightening. More so with girls not feeling good enough. Kids now days are so good at masking what is really going on in their lives. 🙏for her.
No disrespect but if u think they were a well adjusted family, i question ur judgement
Exactly nobodys perfect!!!!! Were all human!!
I am so glad Willow is okay. Thank goodness her mother and grandmother listen and understand what she was going thru at such a young age. Willow may help someone by opening up publicly about this situation.
I’m glad for this post.. I come from a very churchy background where both my parents are pastors..
In my teens I also went through heavy depression. I was indirectly bullied at school called all sorts of names. “Ugly duckling”, “halfmoon forehead” etc. I was also struggling with weight issues..
My dad at the time was also going through his own issues and would lash out on us(he was very strict) so going through adolescence wasn’t easy because you can’t be moody all the time..
Every other day I would write suicide notes and store it in my room.. until it was like a box full of these letters.. I remember the only thing I knew was to pray.. and I would cry and pray asking for this deep pain to stop.. (It was a heavy and deep pain)..
I don’t know how the suicidal thoughts stopped. But one day it just stopped.. life became clearer for me and I guess my purpose became also clearer..
My dad found all my letters and confessed on my 21 st birthday.. he said through my letters he got to understand me and he always prayed for me and was hurt for what I went through.. he promised himself to always be mindful of his children..
During that time him and my mom really changed and always had my back and would always sit down and talk to us kids (find out what Head space we are in)... it’s so important to always check in on the headspace of a teen.. and emphasize to them that you are a unit.. and you are all that you have to each other..
(Sorry for the essay)
It is absolutely sad to know that this young lady went through such a dark period, I think this just teaches us as parents we have to talk more to our babies, make them talk to you, Thank God that she snapped out of it, think of how many other children are internalizing their pain ....I do agree that it was awkward to both hear and watch Jada and her mom hearing this for the first time on national TV but at least they're dealing with it
dee dee
AMEN!
Yasssss I saw it I was shocked I do believe jada didn’t know her reaction when she said cutting was like ? Cutting where I didn’t see any of this and it’s like jada wasnt shame to say she didn’t know I like that
How brave is all I can say. Such a beautiful girl but it makes sense bc there was the high of what she was doing at that time and sometimes when it stops, it can get really low.
I went through a time in my teens where everything got dark for me and I didn’t understand the darkness. I listened to really dark music, sat in my darkroom and wrote out my dark feelings. Then to quiet my mind I started smoking weed and I felt very alone and isolated. My friends always seen me up and chipper for the most part but I was suffering after sexual abuse and not knowing my father which was eating at me and not talking to anyone about it.
People assume though that things have to be bad and that a child like Willow wouldn’t go through that.
She said she was 10-11-ish and I have an 11 year old now and I observe her and her friends and I can tell you, these girls at this age are starting to experience hormonal changes bc they are soon going to start their menstrual cycles and I think that plays a large part in these highs and lows they experience.
I talk to my daughter and I let her know she can come to me about anything in the world and my intuition is turned all the way up.
I observe her AND her friends. I listen when they think I don’t. I’m not a snooping mom bc she comes to me about stuff.
I will say as parents, he’ll as people, pay attention to changes in patterns of behavior in your children and just people. It’s really just that simple. As parents don’t get so wrapped up in life that you don’t notice and when you do notice don’t blow it off as oh, they just becoming a teenager or blame their friends. What has saved me and my daughter is communication and making her feel she can come talk to me about ANYTHING.
Parenting doesn’t come with directions. It can’t bc we are all different and I do have a lot of respect for the way Jada and Will have raised their babies. I think they are amazing children.
Willow is so lucky to have such a great support system. I went through the same thing around 13-15 and unfortunately I got yelled at and threatened for cutting and harming myself. But this just goes to show that it could happen to anyone and you may never know.
I think Willow should have spoken to Jada about hurting issues behind closed doors, then Jada and grandma would have known how to approach the world. Sometimes when you tell the world to much information it can be taken/received the wrong way, and your career can be placed on hold. Just pray for her, Jesus will take care of pretty Willow.
MOTHER SERENITY
AMEN...
What??? Jada reaction explains why Willow was cutting... Oblivious
I was around her age when I began to self harm. there were a lot of mental afflictions and physical afflictions I was born with. a lot of harmful things going on in and around my household and it definitely helped bring ease in such a way Willow described.. even though I stopped. those thoughts will always be there and we must fill our lives with positivity so as not to delve back into that mentality
Yess lord im crying cause my daughter is 9 and my son is ten. I lost through truancy temporary. When they return watching this show everyday balance out my anxiety and depression to have table talk with my kids. We been through loss and mentally and physically abuse far as me physically.... My son broke dw last week and said how he feel. Shook my heart cause i know. It's hard no matter how hard i work to stay up. I loss everything my house my kids and because i let that inner ghost out way my postive. That's so true Willow truly love willow and mom for sharing they Family grieving and personal business to give others of visual and comfort way to express and you will get through it. Even if you have to watch postive celebrities everyday. Cause some of us have nobody. God bless them. Im so proud of will coming from Philly and how far he grown. The beautiful jada smart and she has standards like we all. It's take a strong woman to build and keep her family together. I love it god bless. I just got my push back not letting go moving forward with god
I didn't watch the original video but I find it strange for someone to have such a small reaction to hearing for the first time someone you love, especially your child, say they were harming themselves. I would have broke down immediately or hugged them or something.
TheDaydreamfiend Trustz you don't know what your reaction would be to such a thing that isn't common. You can't presume to know how you'd responded to a horrific death, a suicidal confession, cutting, bulimia or more.
TheDaydreamfiend my mom and grandparent didn’t break down when they found out I was cutting yrs ago when I was in high school. My mom seemed sad about it but my grandma was judgemental and said I was trying to get attention... that nothing was wrong with me.i cut for 5 straight yrs ...
Thatsme You're right. I'm speculating and not saying I know exactly what my response would be. I have had friends share about depression, trauma, and assaults I had no idea about. It broke my heart and I absolutely reacted emotionally. If that were a family member, especially my child who dealt with this as a child, I don't think I could contain my reaction. That's just me. Everyone doesn't have to react the same and that's a hypothetical situation. Something about her reaction didn't feel genuine and it may have been that she knew before they filmed this. That's fine, that's their business.
petitefraise I'm really sorry that that happened to you. Everyone reacts to things differently. It's good to have family support you no matter how they react to news like that.
TheDaydreamfiend you are soooo right. I was thinking the same thing. She reacted like this was some girlfriend ( not even a close one at that ) of hers that was telling her about her childhood. It was like no major emotional reaction. Really? Oh wow I didn’t know. Waaay to nonchalant. What mother reacts this way? Unless she was trying to play off her feelings but that was a huge bomb that was just dropped and she’s all casual. Smh. I know I’m going to take heat for this but I truly don’t think will and jada are good parents. I saw the clip of her son telling her at 15 that he wanted to be emancipated and she was like well I guess I have to let him go... really????? Whatever their kids want goes. Whatever happened to actual parenting?
Willow's face is not matching with what she is saying. Her terms are textbook. Most cutters wouldn't admit this to their parents nonetheless on camera... and certainly not on camera. And Jada's response is also telling a lot. I think there's a lot of preoccupation in the home with words. And the only time they have to connect is on camera. Even if the story could be made up just for attention and sense of affection that they don't regularly get. Theres just a lot of talking, intellectualizing, word battling in the home... not enough affection. That's my opinion.
Ahsek101 Her face probably doesn't match what she is saying because she is repressing her depression. She wants everyone to think ' she's must be okay now since she said it so offhandedly, so let's not press the issue' , and she wants them to not worry about it so she won't have to worry about it. If you struggle with depression now, you'll always struggle with it- it's like addiction. It felt like, to me, she doesn't want to admit that she felt let down by her parents for not recognizing what she was going through because she loves them to much to inadvertedly hurt them. And some things are easier to say when you know that you are not the main focus or I should when you don't have to air your issues one on one. That's what I got from Willow; I don't know about her ma and grandma. I respect your opinion though and I agree...not enough affection in the way that she needs. But who are we to talk on these peoples lives lol. I think I'm low key judgemental🙊
The One With The Key
AMEN!
Tami Johnson. Amen what a mouth full of trurth and facts.# kudos✌
The One With The Key. Yesss Amen
I agree with you - if was something weird about Willows delivery and her mother’s response - like her mother doesn’t know her own daughter or like their just two women talking in a therapy session - like just regular friends or women ! Something was off I love jada and Will but I think they have a weird parenting techniques and relationship with their kids🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ ijs that is my observation!!
Listen you never know what a person is going through that’s why please please always ask how is one doing , stay in touch and say hello to people you never know how much that would make one’s day ... 🙏🏾💙 I love everyone in the comment section
i love how understanding and non-judgemental they are when they hear what was happening. so many parents get mad or freak out, and it just forces their kids back into silence.
She’s not even reacting like a mom like how do you not notice ? And why is she justifying self harm ?
At 10... She wondered if she had a purpose??
Too much pressure for her young age plus Having such Famous Parents Poor girl!! Glad that she got over it!!💝
A lot of celebrity kids have so much pressure to be better than they parents!!! At a young age that's alot of pressure. Always having someone watching someone giving their opinion.. that's why a lot of celebrities going to drugs as an outlet...
Can we just take one moment to admire how beautiful jada's mother is.
My goodness. 😍🤗🤗🤗🤗☺️
Why when she said dark music a whole new person came out, she got demonic
Weedy Grxxn She’s animated and emotional. She was overwhelmed
You may have communication but fear will take over when you want to speak out. I'm so sorry for her but at the same time happy She realized it's not right wake up and run to the lighter side of life. May God Bless Us All
It's so sad that she went thru that. Especially @ her age. Hopefully her being this courageous, sharing her story,
it helps someone going thru something similar.
those eyes😇💫💫Jada and Willow are beautiful !
Mel B. Those eyes tell a story jada mom and ex addict hmmmmm???
I have a really bad feeling. Like something happened to her. All of sudden her music stopped. Maybe she didn't want to sign a deal. I dunno my conspiracy hat is tingling
Tonia's Reviews She’s still making music now, but on the lowkey. She’s really talented and puts her soul and thoughts into those lyrics-it’s a sight to see, er, hear :P
How horrible.. No 10 year old should *EVER* be feel this way. I have a 9 year old son and he only ever thinks about video games, his bicycle, RUclips videos, the trampoline and his little brother annoying him. 😕 this is so crazy.
Wow this was very sad to hear, I am proud that she found herself.
