WILL Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith's daughter Willow Smith has taken to social media following her mom's shocking revelation.
Willow's, 22, latest upload to her Instagram Stories featured a telling post that appeared to represent her current emotions.
Shared on the social media platform on Thursday was a text card that showed a definition of the term resentment.
"Resentment is literally the experience of feeling something over and over again (re-sentiment)," the description said.
"It's being stuck in a loop. A helpful question to ask myself is, 'Do I want to keep feeling this way?'

"If the answer is no, then I get to remind myself that I can choose to feel differently."
The term was reposted from the Instagram account of yoga expert Dayal Gauranga.
Willow's cryptic post came after her mother's sit down with NBC host Hoda Kotb, 59, on the Today Show.
The Set it Off actress was interviewed about her memoir, Worthy.
Hoda led the interview and said that the aspect of the book that shocked her the most, and one that she had to re-read, was that Jada and Will decided to "live completely separate lives" in 2016.
NOT WHAT IT SEEMED
"It was not a divorce on paper, but it was a divorce," Hoda said.
Jada nodded her head and confirmed that it was true.
"So since 2016, which is seven years now, y'all have been apart?" Hoda asked.
"Yeah," Jada nodded her head.
Will and Jada married in Baltimore, Maryland, on New Year's Eve in 1997 and share two kids, Willow and Jaden, 25.

Will also has a son named Trey, 30, with his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino.
Jada said that, initially, she and Will weren't ready to share their separation publicly and were figuring out "how to be in a partnership," and that's why she kept it private all these years.
"In regards to, how do we present that to people? We hadn't figured that out," the mother-of-two said.
As for the reason, she said it was "a lot of things" and they were "stuck inside a fantasy" of what they thought the other person should be.
"By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted of trying," Jada said.
The estranged couple has been keeping up public appearances since then as though they were still together, including the famous Oscars slap of 2022.
The split confession comes after Will and Jada admitted in 2020 that she had a romance with musician August Alsina, who was 25 at the time of the romance.
This happened when she and Will secretly separated in 2016.
'STILL FIGURING IT OUT'
In an interview with People about the state of their marriage, Jada said: “We’re still figuring it out. We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together.
"We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”
Regarding how her children have been during the split, Jada said: "My children, they’re little gurus. They’ve taught me a deep sense of self-acceptance.
"They love every part of me. The level of love, unconditional love that they have for me and their dad.
"And it's one thing to want to be the person that gives that unconditional love.
"And then there's to be the recipient of that.”
