The show Red Table Talk on Facebook Watch, hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter Willow Smith, and Jada’s mother Gammy, has been a hotbed for gossip and controversy for some time now. The show generally consists of the three hosts talking about sensitive and ‘taboo’ subjects with one or more celebrity guests.

The most controversial episodes of the show cover personal issues of the Smith household, like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marital affairs, the progressive parenting methods of the Smiths, and discussions on other sensitive topics. The show has been trending recently after the ‘slapgate’ at the Academy Awards for making a joke at Jada’s expense.
