Jada said: ‘I can remember some times that I really crossed the line. There was one time Trey had a play date and he misbehaved. I was like, “Uh uh, we gotta sit down, we gotta talk about this, Trey can’t be behaving this way.”‘

Sheree retorted: ‘Let me give you my version. I literally walked in the house just to drop him off and as soon as I walked in, Jada was like, “We gotta talk about his behavior!”

‘I was like, “Go get his daddy please. Why are you talking about what happens at my house, over here?” His behavior was at my house.’

Jada said: ‘It was a lot of intertwining and it got really kind of messy’ while Sheree branded her behavior ‘out of line’.

Sheree also acknowledged that Jada ‘didn’t mean any harm’ with her comment, adding: ‘My only requirement was that you treated my son well. You did that and your heart was always right toward him, wanting the best for him.’

Actress Sheree also detailed how her behavior became ‘shameful’ at times, revealing how she went uninvited into Jada and Will’s bedroom to check out the decor.

Jada said: ‘You looked around… you wanted to see what was going on, how it was decorated and all tha. It was early on and I think you were like, “I just need you to know, Queen Bee is around here.”‘

 Jada added: ‘I was like, well, damn, she done picked the house out, I can’t say nothing. We were very fiery.’

Jada also revealed she had a misconception that she would be ‘done’ with Sheree after her and Will’s divorce – before accepting that Sheree would always be a part of their family.

Scream 2 actress Jada said with hindsight she would have ‘taken a beat’ before getting involved in Will and Sheree’s relationship amid their ‘public and fresh’ split.

Sheree said: ‘But when you got it, I remember you coming to me — and you were teary, you were very emotional, and you said, “I just didn’t know”‘.

‘Basically, what you were saying was “I was in the picture too soon.” And you apologized for that.’

Jada continued: ‘My philosophy always was, how can I love Trey and not love the most important person in his life, which is his mother? You can’t. … it was definitely quite a partnership.’

Will and Jada, 50, tied the knot in 1997 and share son Jaden, 24, and daughter Willow, 21.

Sheree was later asked by Jana Kramer what she felt about Jada getting ‘the better version’ of Will.

Sheree said: ‘What I think is, when our union ends, he should be better because of me. He should be better. So it might hurt to see you with the better version, but he shouldn’t be worse because he’s been with me.

‘In this stage of life, I think I left too soon. That was a part of me trying to protect myself. If I was in a different time, I would never leave that soon, I’d work at it.’

The star said that her and Will are better at coparenting than they were as a couple, with Jada joking the trio aren’t a ‘throuple’ after revealing Sheree and Will go on holiday together with his family members and without her.
