"Jada Pinkett Smith: Why This Exploitation Activist Stars in the Sexually Charged Magic Mike XXL"

"Pinkett Smith also discusses the positive aspects of sexually charged environments, which she says can be places of “pleasure, celebration and exaltation.” The character of Rome is definitely reflective of this perspective, since she is clearly liberated and celebratory of sexuality in the film. In Pinkett Smith’s eyes, such spaces don’t have to be about degradation, which is how most people think of adult entertainment. “The idea that no matter what somebody’s doing, they should be treated as a human being,” is what motivates Pinkett Smith. “I really wanted Rome to embody an energy to show that a woman can have a sense of self-respect, dignity and demand that from whoever she’s dealing with in a sexually charged environment,” she adds."
