Jada Pinkett Smith found herself face-to-face with danger as two men attempted to break into her Los Angeles home.
The scary incident occurred earlier this week when the men, clad in hoodies, climbed onto her balcony, assuming the coast was clear. However, their plans were swiftly thwarted when the vigilant “Red Table Talk” host spotted them, causing them to flee. As law enforcement authorities investigate the incident, questions arise regarding the motives behind the break-in and whether Jada was specifically targeted.
According to TMZ, law enforcement sources revealed that the attempted break-in occurred just before 8 PM, leaving Jada Pinkett Smith shaken but unharmed. Although the suspects had managed to escape before the police’s arrival, deputies promptly responded to the scene and initiated an investigation into the incident. As the investigation unfolds, the motive behind the break-in remains uncertain. Authorities are exploring the possibility that Jada Pinkett Smith may have been specifically targeted, or if this was merely part of a series of burglaries targeting affluent homes in the Los Angeles area.
Who Was Home At The Time?
Jada Pinkett Smith has been separated from her husband, Will Smith, for a few years now. While they maintain an amicable relationship, it is unlikely that Will was present during the attempted break-in.
In a previous statement, Jada expressed her intention to eventually move back in with Will. However, it appears that this reunion has yet to materialize. As the investigation into the break-in continues, Jada’s focus remains on ensuring her safety and taking necessary precautions to protect herself and her property.

The recent surge in break-ins, with notable figures such as “Squid Game” star Lee Byung-hun, actress Lena Waithe, model Abigail Ratchford, and Hollywood icon Keanu Reeves falling victim, raises concerns about the safety and security of high-profile individuals in the city.
Now, this is not just a celebrity thing. Just last month, California Governor Newsom called for new legislation to expand criminal penalties and bolster police and prosecutorial tools to combat theft and take down professional criminals who profit from smash and grabs, retail theft, as well as car burglaries.
Per local reports, Newsom has invested $1.1 billion in public safety since he took office, with his main focus being on taking on organized retail crime, his office said.
