How did Will Smith almost destroy Jaden’s life?

The 2013 science fiction film After Earth brought Will and Jaden Smith together on screen in what was supposed to be a blockbuster family collaboration. But things went sideways. It became a defining battle moment for the father-son duo.

In the 2022 memoir, Will revealed the emotional fallout from the film’s failure, telling how Jaden felt “betrayed” after following his advice but facing harsh criticism. While the film flopped critically and commercially, Jaden bore the weight of the backlash. Will said: ‘We never talked about it, but I know he felt betrayed. He felt misled and lost confidence in my leadership. When Jaden asked if he was an emancipated minor at the age of fifteen, it broke my heart. Ultimately he decided against it, but it sucks to feel like you hurt your kids.
