In the memoir named Will, he explained the situation and wrote:

"What was worse was that Jaden took the hit. Fans and the press were absolutely vicious... We never discussed it, but I know he felt betrayed."

He added:

"At fifteen years old, when Jaden asked about being an emancipated minor, my heart shattered. He ultimately decided against it, but it sucks to feel like you've hurt your kids".
