Jada Pinkett Smith's headline-making memoir is not selling as many copies as might be expected, despite some eyebrow-raising admissions in major interviews ahead of its launch.
Pinkett Smith released her autobiography, Worthy, on October 17 but the book is making little impact on multiple bestseller lists.
Newsweek has contacted Pinkett Smith's representatives via email for comment.
On Amazon Books, the world's most popular book selling site, according to Statista, Worthy sits at number 81 on its bestseller list and at the time of writing had gained only 114 ratings and 64 reviews. It failed to make the top 100 on the Kindle e-reader chart, where it had only sold 2,700 copies by the end of last week.
