If you were with me in thinking that everyone loves to hear some good celebrity gossip, where the deeper and more personal it is the better, then you’re also wrong.
It turns out, there are some people out there who are totally fed up with hearing about the intimate details of a certain celeb couple’s relationship.
So much so that a Change.org petition has been created to stop Will and Jada Pinkett Smith from ever being interviewed again.
Last week, a hater named Dexter Morales created the petition urging journalists to “stop interviewing” the Smiths.
When The Independent reported on it, Morales’ target was a mere 2 500 signatures.
At the time of writing, more than 9 000 people have signed and the number is rapidly rising.
So why exactly is interviewing the Smiths such a big deal?
It seems to all follow from Will’s interviews based on his confessional memoir, titled Will, which includes really intimate details about his relationship with his wife, drugs, and sex:

Page Six has the details if you’re among the interested parties:
The King Richard star revealed in his new memoir, Will, that he turned into a gag-prone “ghetto hyena” sexually after his then-girlfriend, Melanie, cheated on him.
“I desperately need relief but as there is no pill for heartbreak, I resorted to the homeopathic remedies of shopping and rampant sexual intercourse,” Will writes (via BuzzFeed News).
“Up until this point in my life, I had only had sex with one woman other than Melanie, but over the next few months, I went full ghetto hyena.”
But this form of self-medicating didn’t agree with him at all, which bring us to the largest point of contestation among the haters:
“I had sex with so many women, and it was so constitutionally disagreeable to the core of my being, that I developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an orgasm,” he writes.
“It would literally make me gag and sometimes even vomit.”
One of the petition signers said that the “throwing up thing was the last straw” while another reasoned that “everything I learn about this couple is against my will. Free us.”
After the “retching and wretched” Will married his now-wife Jada, with whom he has an open relationship.
That is also apparently too much for fans to bear.
I mean, when Will puts it like this, I kind of get it:
“We drank every day, we had sex multiple times every day for four straight months,” he writes of their courtship.
“I started to wonder if this was a competition. Either way, as far as I was concerned, there were only two possibilities: I was going to satisfy this woman sexually or I was going to die trying.”
Metro has more details that the people do not apparently want:
The actor also recalled the time his mum caught him having sex as a teenager, the time he hired a tantric sex expert and ‘tripped on ayahuasca 14 times’ after unofficial split from wife Jada, and addressed the rumours he had an open relationship with his wife.
There’s also the fact that Jada speaks her mind with total freedom on her Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk.
You may recall the ‘entanglement’ drama:
There’s more, though: Jada, her daughter Willow, and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones steamed their vaginas for video streaming content.
Okay.
I am not one to care what celebs say or do, to be frank, but perhaps the petition is on to something.
