Jada Pinkett Smith's HawthoRNe Canceled; Thanks Fans

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The last 30 days hasn’t been great for Jada Pinkett Smith – at least where her public persona is concerned. First her marriage to Oscar nominated actor Will Smith was called into question, then she was rumored to have had an affair with her HawthoRNe co-star Marc Anthony. Despite suffering the public scrutiny Jada was able to put both rumors to rest. Unfortunately for her career, TNT did decide to cancel her series HawthoRNe after three seasons.

TNT stated in released statement to Access Hollywood,

“The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show’s talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with ‘HawthoRNe’ nothing but the best.”

Jada is anticipating bigger things in the future when she released this statement to her fans,

“Hey everyone…if you don’t know Hawthorne will not be returning for another season,” the star, 39, wrote. “I want to say thank you to all the fans for being Hawthorne soldiers…All our facebook fans…twitter soldiers and viewers…you held us down. Of course you know there is more to come…believe it!”

That’s right, don’t cry a river for Jada Pinkett Smith, because she’s sure to bounce right back up!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
