People judging them for not taking Jett to public events – did it ever occur to you that he might not have WANTED to go to premieres and things? Not everyone likes crowds and cameras and attention; and given that he was autistic, it seems even more likely that he wouldn’t have enjoyed the noise and chaos.

You know I have never noticed until now how much Ella looks like John. Very beautiful family and I bet that it’s still hard on them, and no doubt they’re still missing Jett. But I love the fact that they’re putting their pain aside for their daughter to support her

anna – Just for the record even after a loss of a child life goes on ….. AND I’M SPEAKING FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE! Especially when u have another child …. You can’t forget about them like they don’t matter. Jett will ALWAYS be in their hearts and I’m sure not a day goes by without his memory being with them not to mention their pain of losing him!! It’s not your place to tell them how long to mourn Jett or anyone else’s …… not to mention everyone mourns in their own way and time.

And about pushing Ella into show biz…well John said he asked Ella when she was 5 if she wanted to do a movie or music video with him. Ella said no she wasn’t ready. But then Ella came to him when she was 7 and said she thinks she’s ready. I don’t think they forced her into it. I do think that when you have two actors as parents there is going to be some interest. My mom’s a hair dresser when I was little I wanted to be one too. OF course now I’m older and I would never consider it but as a child you just want to please your parents. Ella seems to have liked being in the movie but it also could change as she gets older. I’m sure if she said she didn’t want to do this she wouldn’t. And same goes for the Pinkett-Smith kids. It’s in their blood. However I do think actor children get the better end of a deal. When there are struggling actors in the world all you have to do is have a connection and your in (even if you not that good). But sometimes isn’t that what life is all about…knowing people??!!

Ella was on Ellen today. She was so beautiful. She does look older at the premiere but on Ellen to me she looked like a 9-10 year old girl. She said she likes the Jonas bros., Twilight, her mom and dad are not strict and if she wants something really badly she’ll go to her dad! John of course sat next to her and he started to get tears in his eyes when he brought her out. You can just see the love he has for Ella. And I think now that you know how hard it is to lose a child you cherish deeply the one you have. Despite what we may think about their parenting beliefs there is no doubt they love their kids. And Ella said she’s lucky to have her daddy.

Anna, I don’t think it’s necessary to criticize how someone grieves when everyone is different. They’re obviously heartbroken over the loss of their son and I’m sure foolish comments, such as yours, add even more pain to an already tragic situation.

Life doesn’t stop for anyone. They have another child they must attend to. Are they supposed to remain in mourning for the rest of their lives? That would only harm Ella.

In a year filled with sadness, I think they’re more than worthy to experience one night of happiness without ignorant comments from uninvolved parties.

Pretty girl, but she looks way older… I would guess around 13 too.

It’s so sad about Jett. What an awful tragedy, I’m so glad they are being brave for Ella. I think she looks a lot like her big brother.

On the other hand, does anyone else think Ella looks older than 9 or 10? She looks about 13, especially with a short, strapless dress.

Is Ella’s name Ella-Blue or is it Ella-Bleu?? I have seen it both ways.

Anna, Jett died in early January and it’s now November. How long are they supposed to remain in hiding? Just a few weeks ago, Kelly canceled a speaking engagement because she didn’t think she could handle it. But, they have another child who needs them to put on a brave face and be there for her. There is no prescribed time for how long one must hole themselves up at home after a loved one dies. They have to move on at some point. It’s unfair to judge them for trying to move on.

anna- So they should just stay in seclusion forever?
