Willow says that cyberstalking has turned into real-life stalking, and she is now open about her ordeal.
In Wednesday's episode of Red Table Talk, Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith spoke out about "a terrifying incident" that occurred in their family.
In March, a judge directed Walter James Whaley to keep 100 yards from Willow and to stop communicating with her. This was after Willow claimed that he had climbed a fence on her property to gain access to it around Christmas 2020. Then he tried to find a way in her home. According to TMZ, he also claimed to have been communicating with Willow via social media, saying he wanted her to marry him and have children with her.
Willow said at the end of the episode, "Yeah. Cyberstalking turned into real-life stalking." "I'm used people saying things online. I'm used having thousands or thousands of people with bad things to say. I've been cyber bullied all my life. Cyberstalking is more pervasive and frightening.
She said that they were monitoring your social media accounts to track your movements and that this man was doing the same to me for several years. "Crazy times, crazy stuff!" She added.
Jada said, "We found a small camp behind the house," and he believed that he was waiting for her return. Willow added, "Thank God I wasn’t there."
"He was a child pedophile. Willow said that he was a pedophile and that he had to testify in court. They only allowed me a limited amount of time to apply for a restraining orders. They said they couldn't extend it. I was determined to try again.
Willow was afraid when her grandmother asked her how it felt to return to her home. "I mean, yes, I was. But my mind is extremely extreme so it almost felt like, okay, you're going to be scared. Just leave then. She added that it was either stay or leave, there is no in-between."
"We strengthened it. Jada addressed Willow, saying that they had loaded her and secured your belongings. "Once they had all the evidence from the inside, they had to get all the stuff out the fridge because we were afraid he might have put something in her drinks or food to make her sick."
"We had no choice but to go through everything. Jada said that toothpaste, everything, was the only thing we had to get rid of. "Everything in the home had to go."
She said that they had also checked all the vents in her house, as they were unsure if the man had "put cameras up" for her to spy on them. Jada said, "We had to really tear down the entire house." "We strengthened her, strongly."
Willow hesitated when Jada asked her if she felt the police were helpful. Jada replied "from a mother’s perspective" about the situation. She continued, "I would answer yes because they caught him." They were right. The laws are not what I want. I hope that laws regarding cyberstalking can be improved at some point.
Willow continued the theme throughout the episode, saying that technology is moving at a faster pace than law enforcement.
Jada's niece Jade and Jane Seymour’s daughter Flynn Adams joined the women later. Jane Seymour shared Jane Seymour’s home address online to make it a "place to go to to fulfill certain fantasies." She claimed that her cyberstalkers sent "extremely dangerous people to mine home to do unspeakable damage to me and to my family."
"Very little was done. "To this day, my case has not been resolved in a meaningful manner," she said.
Adams said that she does her best to get over it but that the psychological damage has affected the way she lives. Adams is worried about her son. "My home is the most secure place you've ever lived in." I have changed the way I parent. He can't go outside without asking me where he is.
