Jada Pinkett Smith has gone private on Instagram after sharing a cryptic message about relationships.
The 52-year-old actress' decision to lock down her social media came after her Monday, Sept. 2 post that included a photo of text that reads, "A man can CHOOSE to belong to someone. And if he does... he is considered noble. A woman is told she MUST belong to someone or ... she is not worthy."

"We mere mortal women are worthy simply because we exist!" she continued. "And those of us who have cultivated our Queendom within our inner kingdom and have a deep relationship with the Great Supreme ... If we so CHOOSE to bond with someone from this space ... we will erect monumental love and give birth to treasures." The caption concluded, "We need not bond in fear. You ... are ... greatness. Walk with that this here Monday."
Pinkett Smith's message came just one day after she shared photos from her summer in an Instagram gallery that included a beach selfie and video of her riding a jet ski with a mystery man. "Summer is coming to an end and my heart has been blooming in so many ways. Can't wait to share. Till then...I'm just embracing the last of the summer vibez," she captioned the post.
