*Jada Pinkett Smith‘s memoir “Worthy could be headed to a $5 dollar bin at your local store because the title is said to be a huge flop. 

According to Newsweek, sales of the headline-making book are not as strong as expected.

During the recent press run, Pinkett Smith dropped several bombshells; most surprising was the reveal that she and Will have been separated since 2016. She also claims Tupac proposed to her, and Chris Rock once asked her out on a date.  The memoir also touches on the infamous Oscars slap at the Academy Awards in 2022.

“I thought, ‘This is a skit,’ ” Pinkett Smith said of the moment when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock on stage after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada’s bald head, People reports. “I was like, ‘There’s no way that Will hit him. It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realized it wasn’t a skit.”

When they were alone after the show, Jada asked Will, “Are you okay? ”

Pinkett Smith reacted to the Oscar slap during a recent appearance on the “Today” show.

“First of all, I’m really shocked because, mind you, I’m not there — we haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time,” she stated, Urban Hollywood 411 reports. “I’m like, ‘What is going on right now?’”

Despite all the pearl-clutching tea spills, “Worthy” is making little impact on multiple bestseller lists. The title sits at number 81 on Amazon Books’ bestseller list, according to Statista. The book also failed to make the top 100 on the Kindle e-reader chart, Newsweek reports. 

Meanwhile, we reported previously that the former “A Different World” star confirmed her popular series “Red Table Talk” will be back next year. 

“The Red Table is coming back. We are in the works of a situation right now. So next year,” Pinkett Smith responded to a fan during a TalkShopLive stream in partnership with Good Housekeeping on October 14, Revolt reports. “We could not do the Red Table while I was writing this book and while Willow was on her music journey, so we have decided to come back next year.”

Earlier this year, Facebook Watch canceled the Emmy-winning show after five seasons.
