In the letter (as per People), the actor reveals he was stunned, shocked, and overwhelmed by the book but starts by saying, “I just turned the final page of ‘Worthy.’”
Will Smith continued, “It is amazing to realize that despite having lived most of my life by your side, I still found myself shocked and stunned and caught off guard, laughing, then inspired, then heartbroken. I was all over the place.” The ‘Independence Day’ actor further stated that he was ‘overwhelmed’ reading her memoir, saying, “It’s one thing to hear anecdotes at a family barbecue, but it was truly overwhelming to take in your story, potently condensed in this way.”
Will also noted that Jada is “one of one, a rare blend of power and delicate sensitivity.” ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ actor said, “I know it wasn’t easy to excavate the depths in that way. I applaud and honor you.” In the letter read by Jay Shetty, Smith also said, “If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would have hugged you more. I’ll start now.

In response to his letter, ‘The Matrix Reloaded’ actress said, “He knows I can’t have no Merlot!” before adding, “That’s beautiful. That’s why I can’t divorce that joker.” She further said, “To hear him say that he would have hugged me more is me hearing him say he would have taken a bit more time to listen and understand.”
