Jada Pinkett Smith’s PR Tour of Negativity Backfires as “Worthy” Book Sales in Downward Trend After 1 Week

Share

Jada Pinkett Smith has spent the last almost two weeks trashing her husband on a book tour.

For her memoir, called “Worthy,” Jada split Will Smith down the middle and ripped out his guts. She’s revealed him as a cuckold who has no control over his own life. She’s laid waste to their family, and even to Tupac Shakur.

At first her shocking revelations caused advance book sales, and “Worthy” powered up the amazon best sellers list to number 4 when it debuted a week ago.

But now it’s at number 70 on amazon, and the trend is down down down.

The Kindle version is 4,492. Book buyers are not downloading “Worthy” at all. They want it to go away. They want Jada to go away, I’m afraid.

The numbers are similar or worse at Barnes and Noble.com.

Pinkett Smith may have made things worse by dragging Will to Baltimore for a PR stunt in which he gave supporting quotes. Will Smith probably did himself no favors at looking like Jada’s mind controlled partner in this strange game. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” doesn’t need any more trouble after his Oscars slap incident of 2022.

Now there’s a rumor going around that the couple may write a book in which there will be more unwanted details of their tense life together. It used to be Hollywood couples were silent about their lives and relationships. Now you can’t get them to shut up.
