Hit ‘Em Up: Jada Pinkett-Smith Tearfully Explains Why She’s Still BIG Mad At The Tupac Biopic

Nicky Nelson/WENN.com WELP… Jada Pinkett-Smith Blasts “All Eyez On Me” Jada Pinkett-Smith is still none too pleased by the Tupac biopic and she’s once again airing out the movie. The actress who’s currently promoting her film “Girls Trip” recently stopped by Atlanta’s “The Ryan Cameron Morning Show With Wanda Smith” and spoke candidly on her true feelings on “All Eyez On Me” which she previously called “deeply hurtful.” According to Jada nothing’s changed, her feelings are STILL hurt because the film was a “disservice” to Pac’s legacy. “What you’re seeing in regards to my relationship with 2Pac is not true,” she told The Ryan Cameron Morning Show with Wanda Smith and Jarard J. “Those posts, the actress explained, were “important to me because my relationship was really special and it was very complicated; and I just felt like [the movie] was a huge disservice. “My relationship with Pac would have shown people a true—what he truly was,” she added. “Cause it’s one thing to see Pac’s persona, publicly, and who he was personally.” She also flat-out called it “exploitive” and tearfully added that we as a people need to “protect” important individuals to our culture. https://www.instagram.com/p/BWcvTw7A7HQ/?taken-by=v103atlanta “I felt like [‘All Eyez On Me’] was exploitive of me and Pac – how they used our relationship to sell a movie. And I just felt like it was tomb raiding, in regards to Pac,” said Jada. “I feel like we as black people, we have got to protect those individuals that we say are important to us, to our history and to our culture. We can not expect other people to do that if we’re not willing to do that ourselves. Pac is precious to us.” “If you really feel like you did right by Pac, then congratulations,” Pinkett Smith added almost admonishingly. “But if you didn’t, really sit with that. Cause I hope next time if you get an opportunity to make another movie about a legend you’ll do a different thing.” Y I K E S. Can you really be mad at Jada for wanting to protect the legacy of one of her close friends??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_YXqiQImDs&list=PLfdQ88ZUfipaEBgQpZxt0Pd-Tb4xL8WFx&index=1 More on the flip. https://www.instagram.com/p/BWdgAzzAhTO/?taken-by=v103atlanta Jada later explained to V-103’s Big Tigger why speaking on the film brought her to tears. “Because I can’t kick somebody’s a** or throw a table,” said Jada. “All I can do is cry…I get really angry.” But with that, Pinkett Smith added; “I have decided that I will start sharing more, especially since that movie came out. Because I was like, ‘if they only really knew… we adored each other. It was really about survival between us. “When people hold you down when you really need to be held down, you just never forget that.”

Kim Kardashian Robbery: Halloween Costume Sparks Outrage

It’s been just over a week since Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, and the story shows no signs of leaving the headlines any time soon. It doesn’t help that there are new reports that the robbery was exposed as fake in recently leaked footage that appears to show the reality star calmly FaceTiming just moments after she was allegedly bound and gaged. Then there are the stories over the public’s reaction to Kim’s terrifying ordeal… As with anything Kardashian-related there were jokes aplenty on social media in the days after the robbery took place. Some fellow celebs expressed outrage over the fact that so many saw fit to make light of Kim’s victimization. For the most part, their pleas for empathy fell on deaf ears, as thousands expressed their belief that Kim brought the theft on herself by making a living flaunting her wealth in a world full of have-nots. Many didn’t see Kim as a particularly sympathetic figure to begin with, and reports that the robbery was an inside job orchestrated by a member of her inner circle, or possibly even altogether staged, haven’t helped her situation. Now, online retailer Costumeish has hit Kim with the ultimate low blow in the form of a costume that turns her horrifying ordeal into a punchline: Technically, it’s a “Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Kit” that’s currently selling on the site for $69.95, but clearly, it’s based on the latest Kim scandal. The members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan are no strangers to controversial Halloween garb. Last year a Caitlyn Jenner costume  stirred up controversy in the weeks leading up to the holiday. Even after Caitlyn gave fans permission to wear the costume, many still decried it as distasteful at best, transphobic at worst. We doubt Kim will be offering her fans a similar pass. The 35-year-old mother of two is currently suing the website Media TakeOut, alleging that it published three erroneous articles accusing her of staging the robbery. View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Gets Robbed, Internet Goes Crazy We’re guessing a partier bound and gagged as part of a misguided joke is the last Kim wants to see on Halloween night. Thus far, the site selling the costume has not responded to any media requests for comment.
