Jada Pinkett-Smith’s Mom Adrienne Talks Struggle With Heroin And Jada Reveals She Had Her Own Addiction… To SEX! [VIDEO]

SplashNews.com Jada Pinkett Smith Talks About Addictions With Her Mom, Family Friend August Alsina And Sister-In-Law Ashley Jada Pinkett Smith is sure to have people talking AGAIN with the latest episode of her Facebook show “Red Table Talk.” This time around Jada talks addiction with her mom Adrienne Banfield-Norris, sister-in-law Ashley Marie and family friend August Alsina. In the very serious episode, the four discuss Jada’s mom’s struggle with heroin (she’s celebrating 27 years clean and sober) as well as Ashley’s dependence on marijuana and August’s percocet addiction. But Jada doesn’t hold back either and reveals she’s had addictions of her own. “My sort of addictions jump. They jump around,” she said. “When I was younger, I definitely think I had a sex addiction of some kind, yes, that everything could be fixed by sex. You know what I’m saying?” Jada says she’s also had periods where she was addicted to the gym and may have even had a drinking problem at one point. “I remember reaching a rock bottom that time I was in the house by myself and I had those two bottles of wine and was going for the third bottle,” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Now hold up. You’re in the this house by yourself going onto your third bottle of wine? You might have a problem.’” Jada says she managed her issues on her own. “So I went cold turkey. That’s the thing about me: I can go cold turkey. I am a binger, and I always have to watch myself and I can just get obsessed with things. It’s not what you’re doing but how you’re with it. Why you’re doing it. It’s the behavior that’s attached to it because if you want to have a lot of sex, that’s great, but why are you having all that sex? That’s what you’ve got to look at.” Does any of this surprise you? Jada has been really open about her sexuality in the past — is this new info any more startling than the “open marriage” rumors that have followed her and Will for years. August Alsina posted about his appearance as well. He looks really healthy in the clip and we’re glad to see him facing his demons head on. Wishing him the best in his journey to sobriety! Peep the “Red Table Talk” clip on the flip

BOSSIP Exclusive: Relatives Of Man Accused Of Stabbing Chris Copeland Believe He’s Been Framed

Family Of Shezoy Bleary Say They Doubt He Knifed Up Chris Copeland, His Girlfriend And Another Woman The family of the man accused of stabbing Indiana Pacers player Chris Copeland, his gal pal and another woman say there’s no way he’s involved. Cops said Shezoy Bleary, 22, stabbed Copeland, slashed his partner Katrine Saltara and another woman in a bloody melee overnight Wednesday outside of Manhattan hotspot 1 OAK. But a family friend tells BOSSIP that Bleary isn’t the type to pick up a knife, and believe Copeland must’ve done something to spark the confrontation. “He’s a fantastic kid,” the family friend, who asked not to be identified, told BOSSIP. “I don’t know what happened, what Chris Copeland did to him. He’s not in a gang. He’s not a troublesome kid.” “The guy is 5’8, and Chris Copeland is like 6’8,” the friend continued. “I don’t think he’s going to start problems.” The source said Bleary is a health conscious former Marine from Brooklyn. He said Bleary likes to go out to nightclubs, but doesn’t overindulge in booze. “He served overseas,” the friend said. “Trust me, he’s one of the good guys. He served his country for a reason.”

Jesus Take The Wheel: 3-Year-Old Boy Dies After Shooting Himself In The Head With Family Gun

3-Year-Old Boy Dies After Shooting Himself With Family Gun An Ohio man is set to face charges and possible prison time after the 3-year-old son of his friend fatally shot himself in the head with a gun that he found in his home. via CNN A 3-year-old boy in a small Michigan town was killed over the weekend when he accidentally shot himself in the head with a gun he found on the closet floor of his home. The shooting death will undoubtedly renew the debate about gun safety, particularly after the boy’s father took to Facebook calling for it. The incident took place Sunday at a home in Dundee, near the Ohio border. Police said Damon Holbrook discovered the gun, which belonged to a family friend who was living in the house. Authorities told CNN affiliate WXYZ that the family friend, Joshua Greenhill, had a concealed pistol license and he put the .40 caliber handgun in the closet. It was loaded, with a bullet in the chamber — but was not locked. Three other children were in the house at the time. Greenhill, was charged with careless discharge of a firearm — a misdemeanor which carries a sentence of up to 2 years in prison or a fine of $2,000 What is it with people keeping their registered guns in easy-to-find places??? And especially when there’s a house full of children? SMH! Shutterstock

Poor Thang: Ted Williams’ 90-Year-Old Mother Begs Him To Go Back To Rehab

Awww, Ted better get his life together and go back to rehab…even if it’s just for the sake of his mother: Julia Williams says she’s broken-hearted but not surprised that her newly famous son, Ted Williams, the man with the golden voice, has left rehab in Texas after barely two weeks. “I’m very sorry that he left, and I’m very upset,” Williams, 90, tells PEOPLE. “Certainly I want him to go back. He needs help.” Julia says she heard from family that Ted went to California, perhaps to Hollywood, to record children’s books. She says she’s optimistic he’ll keep busy and not return to a life on the streets, but doesn’t think he can stay sober without professional help. “I know he doesn’t stick at things for long. Whatever it is, he soon tires of it,” she says. “He thinks he can make it on his own, without rehab. And I’m sure he can’t.” She adds: “It’s a very sad story.” A family friend told UPI that Williams was disturbed by the sight of cameras at the Origins Recovery Center, by a medication regimen so heavy that “when he wasn’t in [therapy] class, he was asleep,” and by more interview requests from Dr. Phil McGraw, who had convinced him to enter rehab in the first place.
