She was daughter of a Hollywood power couple --Will Smith and Jada Pinkett smith. And on Monday's episode of Red Table Talk, dubbed Learning To Forgive, Willow Smith got real when her mother asked her who she needed to forgive. 'I definitely had to forgive you and daddy for that whole Whip My Hair thing,' she confessed, which was a reference to her hit song when she was 10-years old.

Sitting around the red roundtable, which also included her grandmother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, and her uncle, Caleeb Pinkett, Willow got more specific.

But when you forgive yourself, and when you learn to treat yourself better, you treat others better.'

Agreeing with both statements, a smiling Jada added: 'You teach others with kindness.' Red Table Talk airs Mondays on social media Watch.
