The View host Ana Navarro goes on yet ANOTHER tirade against Jada Pinkett Smith AGAIN for ’embarrassing’ her estranged husband Will in tell-all book (before admitting she hasn’t even read the explosive memoir)
The View’s Ana Navarro isn’t quite done eviscerating Jada Pinkett Smith.
The 51-year-old hit out at the actress for a second time on Monday, claiming her husband Will Smith is an “emotional prisoner” who has been “embarrassed” by her tell-all memoir, Worthy.
It comes days after she accused the Gotham actress, 52, of using her marriage to make money and sell books.
Ana’s latest comments sparked a heated argument with co-host Sunny Hostin, who urged her to ‘read the book’ – but Ana insisted she wouldn’t spend ‘a dime’ on a copy.
“Listen, I’m done with this Jada thing and I’m done defending Will because Will has her back,” Ana fumed. “I think Will is being held emotionally captive, but you know what? It’s their stuff!

Sunny Hostin, 55, defended Jada and urged Ana to actually read the actress’ new memoir called Worthy
In her new book, Jada revealed that she and her husband Will Smith have been divorced since 2016
‘I don’t want to read the book! I don’t want to give them another cent because she emasculated and embarrassed him to everyone in the world.”
She added, “But you know what I want to read? There’s a new biography of Mitt Romney coming out.”
A shocked Sunny, 55, asked: “Is that what you want to read?”
Sunny, who said she has formed a “completely different opinion” of Jada since reading Worthy, fought a losing battle on today’s show, with Alyssa Farah Griffin adding that she doesn’t like reading the book either.
The former White House aide, 34, argued: ‘Sometimes I feel like there are so many snippets up front that I’m like, ‘You know they’re leading the way with the juiciest stuff, so what else am I going to find there? ” So you don’t necessarily feel like you have to read it.’
When Whoopi Goldberg, 67, asked if it even made sense for celebrities to write “juicy” memoirs when social media exists, Sunny replied, “I think people think they know you from social media. They think they know you from little videos on YouTube and many of them are taken out of context. They don’t really know you and don’t know where you come from.
“And I have to say I felt the same way about the Jada story, as you know, and then a friend of mine suggested that I read it, that it actually gave a lot of insight, and I started reading it and I have a People think about her very differently now.’
Alyssa intervened and admitted, “I have to read it because I’ve been shady!”
Sunny continued, “She’s basically saying, ‘Do you think I have that much power over the Will Smith? If that were the case, my life would have been very different.’
Ana blurted out, “Yes!”
It was the second time the panel had clashed over Jada’s memoir, with Ana previously suggesting that the actress shocked confession of which she is divorced Will was an “inappropriate” money-making ploy for seven years.

‘I think she has a relationship with her bank account, because every time she has to increase the Red Table ratings, every time she has to sell books, she drops these bangers. I think it’s inappropriate,” she said angrily.
She also joked that she “knows more about their marriage” than her own marriage to Al Cárdenas.
And when Ana dramatically begged to “just get this out of my head,” Sunny fired back, “I’m fascinated because I don’t think anyone knows what happens in a marriage.”
Jada shocked the world earlier this month when she revealed that she and Will – who married in 1997 – had been living completely separate lives since 2016, after she said she had become ‘exhausted’ trying to fix their ‘broken’ marriage to recover.
But in a confusing turn of events, the actress then left fans scratching their heads when she claimed they had not broken up but were ‘working hard’ to repair their romance.
In other interviews she claimed he was still ‘her man’.
A source told DailyMail.com exclusively that those close to Jada are frustrated by her differing stories – because it is clear to them that ‘there is no chance that she and Will will return to what they once were’.
