Was It Worth It? Jada Pinkett Smith Sold Just 21,611 Copies of Book That Lays Waste to Her Marriage

Share

Whatever Jada Pinkett Smith was paid couldn;t have been worth it.

The total number of copies sold of “Worthy,” Jada’s tell all diatribe, sold just 21,611 copies last week. It finished at number 6, according to Circana BookScan.

Pinkett Smith laid waste to her marriage and family, created genuine hostility among readers and fans of Will Smith. She revealed everything, did every piece of media available, and sold a tiny number of books compared to other big names.

This week, Jada will be outsold by possibly 10 times by Britney Spears, who also threw everyone under the bus. The difference is– and believe me, I don’t know why — more people cared about Britney than Jada, who’s had it made for decades. One reason might be that Jada had already aired her dirty laundry on her talk show, so this was just a re-confirmation that she could humiliate everyone around her.
