Pinkett during a conversation with her husband Will Smith on his Facebook Watch series, 'Red Table Talk', explained, "I started a friendship with August and we actually became really, really good friends," and added that she wanted to help the musician with his mental state and found resources to help pull him through a troubling time.

The actor revealed, "I got into a different kind of entanglement with August. It was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain. I was very broken. In the process of that relationship, I definitely realized you can't find happiness outside of yourself."  

She also wanted to make it clear that Alsina is not a homewrecker but she and Will were going through a process of healing in a much different manner as a couple. The couple has denied the rapper's claim that Will had given them his blessing.
