Publish date: 2024-05-02

Gabrielle Union and Jada Pinkett Smith ended a long-lasting industry feud on an episode of "Red Table Talk." Pinkett Smith revealed that the pair, who hadn't talked for 17 years, were associates before, but they had a falling out. Although they couldn't pinpoint a specific reason for ghosting each other over the years, Pinkett Smith eventually reached out.

During her introduction of Union on "Red Table Talk", Pinkett Smith advised Adrienne Banfield-Norris — who is a staunch fan of Union's — to behave. "Don't fan out on me asking for autographs and all that," she instructed her mom. Banfield-Norris gave her daughter her word: "You know you have taught me well. I don't — I try not to ask for pictures, or autographs, and try not to act goofy."

When she did eventually meet the "Being Mary Jane" actor, Banfield-Norris maintained her cool, welcoming her with a warm hug. However, once Union and Pinkett Smith had walked away, Banfield-Norris expressed her excitement silently, cheering and smiling widely. And while she wasn't involved in the actual conversation at the table, at the end of the episode, the fan in Banfield-Norris came out. "So, Gab, before you leave, can I get a picture?" she asked. Union agreed, and of course, Pinkett Smith joined in on the fun shoot!
