Jada and Will Smith
Jada Pinkett Smith talks about a very real concern of hers — cyber bullying of young celebrities. In her heartfelt message Jada posed to her Facebook page the question as to whether or not it is fair to judge Justin Bieber and other young celebrities on a level of responsibility that many themselves do not exhibit.
The 41-year-old actress, who’s also the mother of Justin’s best friend, Jaden Smith had this to say on her Facebook Page.
Are we bullying our young artists?
How can we ask for our young stars to have a high level of responsibility if we are not demonstrating that same level of responsibility towards them?
This last week, I had to really evaluate the communication in regard to our young artists in the media. I was trying to differentiate cyber-bullying from how we attack and ridicule our young stars through media and social networks. It is as if we have forgotten what it means to be young or even how to behave like good ol’ grown folk. Do we feel as though we can say and do what we please without demonstrating any responsibility simply because they are famous? Is it okay to continually attack and criticize a famous 19 year old who is simply trying to build a life, exercise his talents while figuring out what manhood and fame is all about as he carries the weight of supporting his family as well as providing the paychecks to others who depend on him to work so they can feed their families as well? Does that render being called a cunt by an adult male photographer as you try to return to your hotel after leaving the the hospital?
Or what about our nine year old beautiful Oscar nominee who was referred to as a cunt as well? Or what about being a young woman in her early twenties, exploring the intracacies of love and power on the world stage? And should we shame a young woman for displaying a sense of innocence as she navigates through the murky waters of love, heartbreak, and fame? Are these young people not allowed to be young, make mistakes, grow, and eventually transform a million times before our eyes? Are we asking them to defy the laws of nature because of who they are? Why can’t we congratulate them for the capacity to work through their challenges on a world stage and still deliver products that keep them on top. We all know how hard it is to keep our head above water, even in the privacy of our own homes let alone on the world stage. Imagine yourself, at their age, with the spotlights, challenges and responsibilities.Most of us would have fallen to the waste side before we could even get to a crashed Ferrari, a controversial romance, several heart breaks, or an Oscar nomination at NINE. We WISH we could have had the capacity to accomplish HALF of what they have accomplished along with ALL these challenges they face. But…maybe THAT’S the problem…we WISH we could have or even…we WISH we could.

Heey!My Names Krystin.I Love Cookies Their Soooooo Good!!!LOLOLOLOL Hahaha
first me
Im A Huge Fan!!!!
Second way to go
heyyy wht was tht
Oh yeah because people need advice from one of the worst mothers in hollywood. These celebs need to get over themselves a little.
WOW WHAT A THING TO SAY. SHE HAS BEEN THE BUSINESS FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. IM SURE SHE KNOW A THING OR TWO. SHES AMAZING ACRTRESS, I LOVE HER MOVIES I ALSO LOVE JADEN. HIM AND JUSTIN ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER.
if you think you’ll be any better, then go back to your life behind the computer. Oh, wait you have no life
WTF. AND YOU LIKE ANY BETTER. WHAT ARE YOU POLICE OR WAIT YOUR NOT. WHY DO I HAVE TO USE LOWER CASE LETTERS WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO. WHO ARE YOU TELL ME WHAT TO SAY SWERVE
Wow, you must be bionic, it’s impressive that you can get so much information from two lines lol.
by the way, Rihanna is the worst singer in the world, and she’s not a role model. Get that!
I’m sorry but Justin Bieber fans should not call anyone the worst singer in the world…
And lol at “not a role model”…The hypocrisy in your comment…
I AGREE. AND LIKE SHES ANY BETTER. RIHANNA WHICH SHES NOT. SHES NOT A ROLE MODEL. I HAVE NOT SEEN HER TALK ABOUT HER TOUR OR MUSIC ON TV OR THE MEDIA. WAIT WASN’T SHE LINK TO ASHTON KUTCHER JUST SAYING.
AWW ISNT THAT CUTE SOMEONE ACTUALLY LIKES RIHANNA. CONSIDERING PPL THINK SHES A GREAT ROLE MODEL WHICH SHES NOT. SHES A HORRIBLE ROLE MODEL
Holy I Think Shes Good.You Dont Need To Say This Because You Dont Like Her.
Rihanna’s so full of herself. Ya think!?
THAT I AGREE. SHES FULL OF HERSELF. AND SHES THE WORST EVER. I AGREE WITH YOU SMILE.
I said “celebrities” so that includes Rihanna lol.
you dont come here and critize my riri because some stupid justin hater came here. you have no idea of what you talking about. stop critizing them both to make one of them seem better.
Haha she’s( Rihanna ) just another hater! Us Beliebers could care less what u say:) UR just jealous! Haha it’s kinda pathetic
ANSWER ME THIS,. WHY DOES RIHANNA ALWAYS LOOK WASTED ON HER PHOTOS. OR WHEN SHES ON INSTGRAM. SHES NO BETTER THEN ANYONE ELSE. FOOL. PLS RIHANNA IS NO ROLE MODEL. SHES A DAMN FOOL
LOL @Rihanna. Some points…
I mean her daughter got a tongue piercing at 10, and her 14 y.o son is out there drinking and partying like a 20 year old. Not to mention that her kids are whored out on tv like products instead of being in school, yet she thinks she’s fit enough to give anyone advice lol.
I would love for you to say that to her face, because people can anything over the internet. But don’t have the balls to say it to your face hun
Lol believe me I would say that to her face. I almost got expelled from school once for being too upfront, and a woman like her who’s irrelevant to my life will sure as hell not intimidate me in any way.
Lol you beliebers spends too much time on twitter trying to trend Bieber hashtags that you think everyone is the same lol. And funny how I’m getting called hater recently, y’all liked me when I was praising him non stop back in 2012.
@Rihanna I think the piercing were magnets. I think because I have those two.
I think you need to get over yourself.
did u say 2 me”secret way to go”
Wow, Jada’s smart. All she said was true. I like how she said an adult male photographer, pretty much implying that photographer should have been more mature. Haters don’t think ’bout the things she said, but they really should. She said it just the right way, touched my heart, anyway. Then again, it’s pretty easy to touch my heart. But I appreciated what she said, voice of wisdom in a hateful generation (that doesn’t have much intelligence). Give him some time, he’ll figure himself out.
thank you for standing up for our young celebrities they are not being trated right something needed to be said
I FEEL BAD FOR CELEBS WHO ALWAYS GET BULLIED BY THE STUPID IDIOTIC SHUTTERBUGS WHO ARE LIKE LITTLE LOST PUPPY DOGS AND HATERS NEED TO SWERVE THERE OUT OF CELEBS ASSES
agreed
Agreed
thank you for standing up for our young celebrities they are not being treated right something needed to be said
WHY WOULD ANYONE CALL A NINE YEAR OLD NAMES. THERE KIDS. THEY DON”T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SAYING THERE KIDS FOR GOD SAKE. ITS NOT LIKE THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT ADULTS ARE SAYING TO THEM.
owww :0 jada smith all u said is correct.but give them some time.u know.they wil figure it out.
True dat
IM SURE WILL AND JADA HAVE GONE THROUGH WHAT JUSTIN HAS BEEN THROUGH. THE TRIALS AND TRUILABTION. OF IT. I FEEL SO BAD FOR CELEBS WHO GET BULLIED. IT DOESN’T FEEL GOOD WHEN YOUR HATERS OR PYSCHO SHUTTERBUGS ARE CONSTANTLY SAYING STUPID THINGS TO YOU. THEY NEED TO BE SHOT (METORPHICALLY.
What’s with you and raping the caps button? Makes you look more of a retard than an actual normal person on this website.
SWERVE YOUR WAY OUT BIOTCH. WHAT ARE YOU SOME SORT OF POLICE. WHAT YOU GOING TO DO HAVE ME ARRESTED. BTW PPL AS WE SAY DON’T THE LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT.
You just proved my point by replying with some random post lmao.
WTF. F**CK YOU
That escalated quickly.
Love you so much juju no mater what happend.Love uuuuuuu<3<3
Aww I love you justin!! Jada is so sweet 4 saying that l
I love the Smiths
Nice Comment!!!
Jada couldn’t have put it any better then that.I love how she was mature while defending Justin Bieber, and other young celebrities that are being bullied. People want to make Justin Bieber look like the bad guy, but he’s actually a victim. Bullying celebrities is just as bad as bullying a typical kid in high school. All these young celebrities deserve a break! You never know when they won’t be able to take it anymore.
I hope Justin reads that. It’ll make him feel good.
omg thank you so much jada. hopefully, your message will create a better person in those dumb paps -.-
Jada is so right!!!
PREACH it Jada
What all Jada said was true.
gotta love smiths:)
Iloveyoubabe
Love smiths for saying dat about Justin Bieber
PREACH ON JADA
YOU JUST TOLD THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Amen!
Encouragement and grace is what the young celebs need!
An I the only one who hardly comments on this site but is on it ever do often ? I mean sometimes I just wait until my closest friend on this site comments then I comment after her. But let me make it not look THAT bad…….” You go Jada!” I rest my case…
*ever so often
I don’t think we should argue like this people who r going to hate on justin shouldn’t even be on his website and I bet this isn’t even the real Rihanna because what superstar like her would be on a justin bieber fan sight really think bout it she has other things to do
THANK YOU. THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING.
She makes good points, media helps fuel young talents demise
HONEY ARE YOU PRO JUSTIN OR AGAINST JUSTIN. HES AMAZING AND SO TALENTED. EVEN SELENA HAS RESPECT FOR HIM.
I really want people to say that this lady didn’t make sense because I guarantee you that you are out of your right minds. She speaks the truth and about the Nine year old is sooo true. so forget you haters and wannabes because its still the same routine. You still hate threw a computer while others like Jada make money every day and are blessed. Like Jada and Nine year old and Justin they worked to their stardom and they surely earned all what they have. if you have any question or comments negatively keep them from your selves because when your wrong…your just wrong. Peace out!!
yes she is right y don,t u leave this stupidity these papz r really idiot
i love u justin i love uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Jada insipred me to say something. Ever since the year started the media wants to make Justin a bad person. The whole whole smoking weed thing. Smoking may b bad for u but it does not make u a bad person. the paps fight. Pretend Justin is in school and he getting bullied he had enough and defend himself. That is excatly what he did when it comes to paps. Going to clubs. He may b tring to move on. Showing two hours late. He was having probmles. Not caring about his fans. He was having a hard time breathing and he still went on. I never seen celebs do that. He needs to dump lil twist as a friend. How would u like it if someone says u need to dump a friend. How come when I look him up it is nothing but negative things. What about him vistitng sick people or helping and donating to charaties. No it is all about negative things. Most of the time they are rumors. Y r u trashing Justin telling him how to live life and who he should hang out with and b friends with. Selena y r u starting to trash him. I thought u were better than that. I see what u r tring to do. Ruin his career. Did ur mother ever told u bullying was wrong. It does not matter if he famous or not is doesnt give u right to bully him. He already been a victum of cyberbullying. It does not matter who u r. No one deserve to b bully. Everyone does have feeling. When Justin saids he not going to let this negative stuff get to him u dont know if he secertly hurt inside. He has done alot for everyone. Barely anyone treats him with respect. What does the bible say about treating people. Also Justin barely has anyone to lean or turn to for help. He does care about everyone. No one has the right to push u down n mean to u and disrepect u. Justin is here for the music. If he ends up quiting music( i dout he will but u cant read the future u know.) there will b some serious trouble. Y not pick on some one else y is it always justin. He just a 19yr old. Justin we love u and always will. Please stay strong. We got ur back. Sorry for the long comment. If u read this thanks for ur time.
this is really bad……im from england and i love justin so much but never thought the paps cud do this to justin…………all the rumours and lies……………..there just trying to put him down but no justin is strong and is only doin what he loves nd thats what every1 shud understand……………….go justin don’t let them put u down……..smile……be happy…..do u wat u love…….lots of love……..#belieber No1

You whore ur children for money. You teach ur daughter that she has to wear makup and dress lik she’s in her 20 to be accepted and liked. U have ur 9 yr old sing songs that are played in adult clubs and bars were there consuming alcohol. U have her dance inappropriatly in her videos. The name calling of ur daughter isn’t right I agree. It should all go straight to u. Ur a horrible parent and even worse parent. Child protective services should take a look at u. U put ur children out there for ur own personal gain. I hope god has mercy on ur soul cuz there is a special place reserved for u jada Pickett smith, were ur going. God u whore ur children for money. There is no bullying for u. Just disappointment and ashamed that ur considered to be some sort of role model. I’m embarrassed to breath the air u breath, cuz of how dull and simple minded u are. Who do u think u are, when ur the one and only reason ur daughter is being called the names she is. a 9 yr old needs to be in school having a life instead of jumping through every hoop u place in front of her. If u honestly thought ur daughter was talented and loved her u would wait until she was more mature and older instead of capitalizing her and profiting far more than most ppl kno on her success
Ems up Bed JB Family
Ellie hi love from Ems Ellie
Also some of u r so foolish. Ur right, maybe some if the things that r said aren’t true. But hey everyone said he wasn’t smoking weed and uh oh wat do u kno he was. For all u kno everything that’s been said is tru. U hold him to such high standards and never messing up. When this past month /year that’s all he’s been doing. If u wanna lik him go ahead but don’t remain ignorant and play dumb so he feels better. He’s messing up big time and before u kno it he will become a drug addict and just a “remember that dude Justin what was his last name again.” Stop making every excuse for him when he’s not even doin it for him self. He says font believe everything u read. Foreshadowing that some of the things are true. He’s just secretly telling u so when the things come out there’s a much larger more serious accusation facing him so then it doesn’t seem lik that big of a deal. Lik the weed smoking, when that was proven tru ppl were saying was drinking syrup, codeine, promethazine. And the weed was just well compared to that not that big of a deal
Just shut up.
Right on Jada! I love JB and have so much respect for him. It’s so easy to speak negativity and ugliness, what a bunch of cowards. I believe these kind of people relish attempting to destroy people because they hate their own lives and themselves. Justin has brought so much goodness to others and overcome monumental obstacles. God bless Him and other young celebrities. I for one give them my respect, support, and just basic human courtesy. I believe in him.
So true Jada *clapping* xd
I respect Jaden A LOT for this, us beliebers are always sticking up for our JuJu and it’s about time his friends did, clearly Jaden is a true friend to Justin unlike lil twist.
I Love Justin!!!But I Never Got To Go To His Consert Only Once Then I Had To Leave Wait Away:/
we wanted know bullying of the young celebrities so why are we bullying are friends? Were all diferent we need to respect are differnt oppinions even if we dont agree wth them lets all just chill yolo
hi JB family beb love Ellie hi from Ems Ellie
AMEN JADA!
Who is Justin? Hes just like YOU. He has secrets and a past. Hes just like every other teenage boy out there. Hes made mistakes but has often learned from them,. He writes amazing music. He has talent and a passion. If people dont like him then why come on his website and judge him? Why bully him? Do you ever think about what bullying does too him or his self-esteem? Do you even care? Well i care and so does god. He wouldnt want you criticizing someone for living their life. Would you wanna be criticized for following your dream? I dont think soo. I hate seeing what goes on in society and how society is hurting our celebs. These days all iu see in society is bullying, the hurt, the pain, and what people go through too feel ACCEPTED. Why are we bullying celebs? Or anyone in general? Im sorry too say but your not better then anyone… so why judge? Does it feel good too put people down? Well its not cool at all. And quite frankly it makes you look dumb. Its time too grow up. And stop the hatred. Think about if it was YOU getting bullied. Justin, Jaden, Willow, Lindsey, Rihanna, Taylor, One direction… Whoever else is getting bullied.. Well hey, guess what their all HUMAN beings just like YOU. Stop the hurting, the pain and the bullying, and leave these celebs ALONE. Their all talented ans successful and JEALOUSY will get you no where. If you keep up the bullying you could push someone too take their life.. IS that what you want? You can k-k-keep it real without being mean… Oh and another thing i wanna address. Saying Jada is a bad mom. Do you personally know her? noo i dont think you do. You see shit in magazines and automatically think its the truth. Well guess what its most likely NOT true. So dont judge Jada or any one because you dont know them or their story.. Well im donee here. Thanks <3
