Jada Pinkett Smith’s breakout hit on Facebook, “Red Table Talk,” has come to an end … getting canceled by the social media giant.

“Red Table Talk” became hugely popular since it first launched in 2018, streaming 129 episodes over 5 seasons. The show also netted about 11 million followers on social media.
