The new video has prompted actor Michael Rapaport to question Pinkett Smith via Twitter on Thursday morning. 
"People saying Will Smith was protecting Jada, Why wasn’t JADA protecting Will from literally ruining his entire career? My Wife would’ve been fighting me before I sat down for making an a--hole of myself & our family," he wrote.
