Even when the production of the film ended, Smith said he took the family back to California as his marriage got off to a rocky start. He added that he found himself “yearning to see and speak to Stockard.”
In the book, Smith also reveals he once had thoughts about killing his father, Willard C. Smith Sr., because he witnessed him physically attack his mother, Caroline Bright. According to People, the 53-year-old Oscar-nominated actor admitted he briefly plotted revenge for what the 76-year-old man did to his mom.

In a scene from Smith’s YouTube series, The Best Shape Of My Life, which was released Nov. 8,2022, Smith was with his mother, Pinkett-Smith, and his children when he made a painful revelation: “That was the only point in my life that I ever considered suicide,” he says, directly addressing the children.

JAY-Z has cemented his lead as the world’s richest rapper with a net worth of $2.5 billion.
The new figure is reportedly due to money for Armand de Brignac champagne and D’Usse cognac, a business venture that belonged to the rapper, until recently.
Interestingly, this increase in wealth comes without Hov, as he is often called, releasing a new album or going on tour.
In February, it was announced that JAY-Z had reached a settlement in his legal battle with D’USSE.
According to Bloomberg, HOV and Bacardi managed to settle a multi-billion dollar lawsuit that saw the Brand buy Jay’s stake in the company for $750 million. However, the rapper is said to retain a “significant interest,” indicating the acquisition of JayZ’s majority stake while he retains a minority stake within the company.
JAY said in his statement, “Growing D’USSÉ over the past decade from an idea to one of the fastest-selling spirits in history has been a blessing,”
According to TMZ, JayZ and Bacardi’s partnership began in 2011, and Hov intended to take over all of D’Usse’s books, records and deposits on drinks and accessories. Sources claimed that he also wanted physical inventory and process details.
The lawsuit states that the rapper “intended to monitor [Bacardi’s] business conduct to protect SC’s rights as a partner.”

Gunter Nezhoda died in sleep in Salt Lake City from lung cancer complications.
The ‘Storage Wars’ star Gunter Nezhoda has died aged 67 after losing his battle with cancer, just six months after his diagnosis.
Nezhoda died in his sleep in Salt Lake City on Tuesday night as a result of complications from lung cancer, his son and fellow ‘Storage Wars’ star Rene Nezhoda told TMZ.
Rene said Nezhoda was diagnosed with lung cancer in September after smoking for 30 years – but the chemotherapy treatment left holes on his lungs.
Nezhoda flew to Utah for an emergency surgery to treat his lungs, but medics said there was nothing more they could do for him, Rene said.
In a video, Rene said: ‘I’m telling you guys this because I know that you guys connected with my dad.

My dad was one of the guys on Storage Wars that never really got any hate, people just loved him and being around him, including the crew.
‘Everybody loved working with my dad, so I appreciate the support.
‘A lot of people have been asking how my dad is doing and I just haven’t really talked about anything because we kept it private and we thought he was going to fully recover but unfortunately he didn’t.
‘He was 67 years old and all the love that you guys have shown him and support he really appreciated that.
‘And so hopefully he’s up there in heaven with my mom, dancing again with no more pain.’
Rene said Nezhoda’s son, Ricky, was with him when he passed away on Tuesday.
Gunter, who was born in Vienna and then lived in Frankfurt, Germany for ten years before moving to Las Vegas in 1990, starred in seven episodes of ‘Storage Wars’ from 2015-2019.
He was also a movie star and worked on Bass with the musicians Pat Travers, Leslie West, Michael Schenker, George Lynch, and Kevin Dubrow.
