Will Smith’s production company Overbrook Entertainment released a new series called Red Table Talk in honor of Mother’s Day.

In it, Jada Pinkett’s mother is being SURPRISINGLY OPEN about her CRACK addiction. And she’s telling not only EVERYONE IN THE WORLD . . . but she’s telling it TO WILLOW. Here is how the UK’s Daily Mail is reviewing the video:

Then they go into a bit of history about their pasts and Jada’s troubled childhood.

Banfield Jones tells her granddaughter Willow: ‘I had mommy when I was very young and then I got addicted to drugs after mommy was born.’

Adrienne goes on to tell Willow: ‘It was a very difficult time for us growing up with her and Jada did not have the kind of life that you have now.

‘I was on drugs until your mom was like 17 or 18-years-old. That’s a long time.’

Adrienne never reveals what type of drugs she used, although it should be that noted that Jada drew up in Baltimore in the 1980′s at the height of the American crack cocaine epidemic.

Wow … did she need to tell that to Willow though??? And we heard that Jada had some ISSUES WITH THE PIPE back in the day too . . . why ain’t SHE tell her story???
