Jaden Smith 'banned' from sleepovers as a kid

Jaden Smith was banned from having sleepovers when he was younger.

The 19-year-old son of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith wasn't allowed to indulge in the childhood pastime of sleeping over at a friend's house when he was younger, as his mother has revealed she was concerned that he might experience some kind of sexual assault whilst out of her care.

Speaking to her daughter Willow on the latest episode of her series ‘Red Table Talk’, Jada said: "Do you know how many men I know that have been violated as young boys? I was as protective of Jaden as I was of you.”

Although she has been protective over her brood when it comes to their lives, she has been known to give them freedom, as she famously allowed Jaden to move out when he was just 15.
