Jada Pinkett Smith is using Facebook as a diary/advice column, and some of her recent posts are prompting a lot of conversation.

On Sept. 19, the actress was reflective after just turning 42 and she revealed she had "many addictions" when she was younger.


On Sept. 22, she wrote a note to a friend who had just told her she had decided to get a divorce. Pinkett Smith and hubby Will Smith, who have been married for 16 years, have been the subject of marriage-on-the-rocks rumors that started in the summer of 2011. On Facebook, the actress wrote, "For the past five years, I have been meeting with elders who have been married for 25+ years to get understanding from many perspectives as to what marriage and love is all about."


On Tuesday, she continued to talk about relationships, saying, "Someone asked me the other day why do people stay with people who treat them bad? To me, the answer is simple… They stay because they don't believe they deserve to be treated better, and the moment one truly believes they deserve better… You deserve the best and never forget it:)"
