“My relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth,” Pinkett-Smith said via her official Facebook.
Before she met her husband, actor Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith who is also an actor, had a very close friendship with her Baltimore School For The Arts classmate, Tupac Shakur.

They were so close that a young Pinkett-Smith is even depicted in Pac's All Eyez On Me biopic which comes out today.

In the movie, there's a scene where Shakur reads Smith one of the poems he wrote about her.
Smith is played by Kat Graham (The Vampire Diaries) in the Tupac biopic All Eyez On Me, out Jun. 16.

According to Smith however, this scene, along with other details involving her relationship with Tupac Shakur depicted in the movie, never actually happened.
Her post reads: "Forgive me... my relationship to Pac is too precious to me for the scenes in All Eyez On Me to stand as truth.
Pac never read me that poem. I didn't know that poem existed until it was printed in his book.
Pac never said goodbye to me before leaving for LA. He had to leave abruptly and it wasn't to pursue his career.
I've never been to any of Pac's shows by his request. We never had an argument backstage.
The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful.
To Kat and Demetrius this is no fault of yours. Thank for bringing so much heart and spirit to your roles. You both did a beautiful job with what you were given. Thank you both.
Happy birthday Pac, you are cradled in my heart for eternity. I love you."
