“I hope it comes back,” Adrienne said of the former Facebook Watch series she co-hosted with Jada and Willow Smith. “I think it’s absolutely necessary. I miss it. I think people need it. The people I’m in communication with say they miss it, so let’s keep our fingers crossed.”
The series that was known for hosting difficult conversations It was canceled in 2023, along with the rest of Facebook’s original programming.
“I try to have those important family discussions. We have a lot to talk about,” said Adrienne. “…We are growing and we are being blessed. We are growing, we are healing and we are doing what we do. The family that prays together, stays together.”
As for the likelihood of the series finding a new home, Adrienne said, “You need to talk to Jada about that, I don’t know!”
Adrienne stepped out on Tuesday to support Regina King, who stars as Shirley Chisholm in Shirley. The film tells the story of the late politician, who was the first black congresswoman, in her presidential campaign.
“She was doing a lot. She was the first black woman to run for president. The first woman,” Adrienne said. “… We know about her politically, but I don’t know much about her life, so I’m really, really excited about this project.”
