Meta cancels Jada Pinkett Smith’s ‘Red Table Talk’ amid Facebook Watch shutdown
Red Table Talk” got the boot after Meta unplugged Facebook Watch’s original programming.The daytime Emmy award-winning show — hosted by Jada Pinkett-Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris — tackled conversations about social issues with an inter-generational perspective, which led to Pinkett-Smith exposing the dark side of her marriage with Academy Award winner Will Smith.In 2020, the couple revealed to their 11 million Facebook followers that the “Girls Trip” actor had an “entanglement” — a relationship outside her marriage — with 30-year-old R&B singer August Alsina.She admitted her marriage was on a downfall, and the couple briefly separated, so “I got into a different kind of entanglement with August … it was a relationship, absolutely,” she revealed to her husband in the 12-minute video.After Alsina ended the entanglement with the 51-year-old actor, she began to repair her marriage to 54-year-old Smith, “We have gotten to that new place of unconditional love.”The Facebook series started in 2018 and ran for five seasons before being canceled.Each episode featured a notable guest, such as Hayden Panettiere, Jennette McCurdy, Jordyn Woods, Bobby Brown and the cast of “A Different World.”The talk show was one of the last to get unplugged after Mina Lefevre, head of development and programming at Meta, along with more than 20,000 employees were laid off, according to Deadline.Facebook Watch began scrapping its original scripted programming in 2020 after canceling “Sorry For Your Loss,” starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Biel.

Polyamorous Advocates Push for Visibility on Facebook
Polyamorous activists are seeking to change Facebook’s relationship status options to provide an inclusive option for those in multiple people relationships.In a letter to Tom Alison, the head of the Facebook app, the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy (OPEN) argued that the current relationship options on the social media platform were “arbitrary, exclusionary, and contrary to Meta’s core values,” referring to Facebook’s parent company, Meta Platforms, Inc.In the three-page open letter, dated June 16, the members of OPEN’s executive board argued that the lack of display options for people in polyamorous relationships on the site erases their identity.“At best, this restriction perpetuates the erasure and marginalization of non-monogamous relationships; at worst, it harms non-monogamous users by perpetuating social stigmas around the validity and authenticity of their relationships,” the board members wrote in the letter.Facebook currently has 11 options for people who wish to disclose their relationship status: single, in a relationship, engaged, married, in a civil partnership, in a domestic partnership, in an open relationship, it’s complicated, separated, divorced, and widowed, reports the online magazine Xtra.Some have argued that those in polygamous relationships can use the “in an open relationship” status, but OPEN opposes this because this doesn’t allow for polyamorous people to “present their most authentic self on their Profile’ and contributes actively to “delegitimizing non-monogamous relationships.”According to OPEN’s board members, approximately 4-5% of adults in the United States currently practice some form of ethical non-monogamy, which refers to “a range of relationship practices
