Will Smith at war with Jada Pinkett Smith

OHMYGOSSIP — Will Smith‘s marriage to Jada Pinkett is on the rocks again — and the private school they founded was shut down. The New Village Leadership Academy, which was located near the couple’s man­sion in Calabasas, Calif., has been a sore spot in Will and Jada’s mar­riage since it opened in 2008 — and things only got worse when it was abruptly shuttered, according to American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“Will told Jada from the start that opening this school could be a legal nightmare,” said a friend. “He never wanted to do it.

“But Jada promised him that it was an excellent school and there was nothing to worry about. Now he’s flipping out and unhappy with Jada for the humiliating closure.

“There have been students who went there and claimed they couldn’t even read when they got out of sixth grade. When the school opened, everyone thought it was going to be an uplifting expe­rience and good for the kids, but it turned out to be a nightmare.”
