Willow Smith says she doesn't mind Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith oversharing: 'My parents are their own people'

• Willow Smith told The Independent that she didn't mind her parents' tendency to overshare.
• The singer said Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith "are their own people."

Willow Smith said she had no problem with her parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, oversharing about their personal lives.

"I feel I've always understood that my parents are their own people," Willow said in a new interview with The Independent.

The 21-year-old musician continued: "A lot of kids think of their parents like… 'Your whole identity is for me.' [But] seeing them in this lifestyle we had, from a very young age it was clear to me they weren't just my parents. They're full, other people who have their own emotions."

Willow and her older brother, Jaden Smith, were born into stardom.

Will rose to fame as the star of the hit '90s sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and was part of the Grammy-winning duo known as DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. Since the '90s he's starred in box-office blockbusters and become a global star.

Pinkett Smith, who first met Will while exiting the "Fresh Prince" casting office, earned her big break when she landed the role of Lena James during season five of "A Different World," a "Cosby Show" spin-off, in 1991.

She's since starred in films like "The Nutty Professor" and the "Matrix" franchise, in addition to being the frontwoman of a metal band called Wicked Wisdom.

The Smith family has earned a reputation for sharing their lives with fans

In recent years, the Smiths have become known as one of the frankest celebrity families.

Will has been particularly outspoken about his life and family, releasing a memoir in November that was filled with detailed, forthcoming recollections.

In one chapter, the actor said he and Pinkett Smith drank and had sex "multiple times every day" for four months straight at the start of their relationship. In another section, Will said that after his girlfriend cheated on him, he "had sex with so many women" that orgasms "would literally make me gag and sometimes even vomit."

The Smiths' popularity is also largely due to "Red Table Talk," the Emmy-winning Facebook Watch series hosted by Pinkett Smith, her mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, and Willow.

"Red Table Talk," now in its fourth season, shows the three generations of women sitting down for wide-ranging conversations about topics like sex, adoption, addiction, and racism.

The discussions sometimes result in the cohosts sharing intimate details about their own lives; once, Willow was mortified by her mother's revelation about having a threesome.

In her interview with The Independent, Willow defended the talk show's bluntness. "Everyone is going through something," she said, adding that "the biggest disservice you could do" is "put up a facade and be like, that's not the case."

"That sounds wrong to me," she said.
