Actress Jada Pinkett Smith says she was racially harassed by a police officer when she was younger. The 47-year-old actress said that while she was staying in Virginia Beach several years ago, she was the victim of a racial attack when "two white officers" told her to get her "n'''' b'''h a''" out of the street she was on, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Talking her Facebook watch show "Red Table Talk", she said: "I remember going to Virginia Beach. Remember when they had the riots? I was there by myself - terrified - trying to get back to my hotel.

"I will never forget, there were these two white officers. I was like, 'I'm just trying to get down the street so I can get to my hotel' and they said, 'You better get your n'''' b'''h a'' off this street right now.'"

The "Girls Trip" star, who is married to actor Will Smith, spoke to her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones on the show, who also opened up about her own experiences with racism growing up.
