Friday's 12-minute episode of Pinkett-Smith's Facebook Watch series, in which she admitted that she and her husband were separated when she had a relationship with singer-songwriter August Alsina, demonstrated the couples' business savvy. "It’s a perfect distillation of what Red Table Talk and the Pinkett-Smiths do best: dissecting a controversial topic with meticulous consideration, an eye for relating it back to the audience, and just enough intrigue to keep people guessing as to what’s truly going through their heads," says Caroline Framke, adding: "The Pinkett-Smith family business has many arms, but runs on a commitment to “transparency” that’s nevertheless carefully curated. Somewhat paradoxically, they’ve built a collective #brand on authenticity."
