Esther replied, "I’m not of that persuasion because I think there are many relational betrayals. Contempt, neglect, and violence and indifference and nobody tells people, ‘Leave, leave, get the hell out.' And especially on women, it’s the real new pressure. God forbid you still love the person who actually cheated on you. Maybe that person is a lot of things and cheated on you. It’s like the shame of staying, now that you can go you’ve got to get out."

"I’m asked a lot about, ‘Is there infidelity in your relationship with Will?' And it’s like, no, but there’ve been other betrayals of the heart that have been far bigger than I could even think in regards to an infidelity situation," Jada explained.

Will got candid about their problems on the show back in October 2018, saying, "I was devastated even worse than a divorce. We broke up within our marriage and got back together again. We had to rebuild with new rules and something way, completely different.”
