Jada Pinkett Smith appears to have made the decision to step away from the public eye over the holiday weekend. After sharing a cryptic message to her Instagram account, she set her profile, which contains 11 million followers, to private. On September 2, she shared a post of a photo with text that read: “A man can CHOOSE to belong to someone. And if he does… he is considered noble. A woman is told she MUST belong to someone or … she is not worthy.”

She further elaborated in her caption.
The 52-year-old actress further explained the message in her caption. "Even in some of our great religious traditions the goddess is rendered powerless without her male counterpart," she wrote. "And in others, the spiritual influence of the feminine, of Mother … is not even recognized."
Jada says not to 'bond in fear.'
"We mere mortal women are worthy simply because we exist! And those of us who have cultivated our Queendom within our inner kingdom and have a deep relationship with the Great Supreme … If we so CHOOSE to bond with someone from this space … we will erect monumental love and give birth to treasures," she continued in the caption. "We need not bond in fear. You … are … greatness.❣️Walk with that this here Monday ♥️✨."

A previous post had her followers questioning things.
Jada shared a carousel September 1 saying goodbye to summer. “Summer is coming to an end and my heart has been blooming in so many ways. Can’t wait to share. Till then…I’m just embracing the last of the summer vibez,” the caption read.
In the carousel was a selfie of her by the beach and a video of her riding a jet ski with an unidentified man. Fans wondered who the anonymous person was.
Jada and Will revealed they'd been separated since 2016.
In a 2023 interview with Today, Jada revealed that she and her husband, Will Smith, had been separated since 2016. Speaking with Hoda Kotb, she talked about "not being ready" to let the public know they weren't together and how the couple could figure out "how to be in partnership."
But she says they'll be 'together forever.'
Not long after the Today interview, however, the actress said on the November 28, 2023, episode of The Drew Barrymore Show that she and Will weren't leaving each other. "We're staying together forever," she said. "I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever, and I just haven't been able to break that promise."
Safe to say, many fans are wondering if Jada's cryptic message was in reference to Will — and just who the unidentified man could possibly be.
