Will Smith coped with the "heartbreak" not by listening to sad songs, but by having a lot of sex - and as a result there was vomiting.

The actor revealed in his memoir, "Will," that he became sexually a "ghetto hyena" after his then-girlfriend, Melanie, betrayed him.

"I desperately need relief, but since there is no pill for heart pain, I turned to unbridled sex. Up to this point in my life, I have only had sex with a woman other than Melanie, but over the next few months, I became a real ghetto hyena, "Will writes (via BuzzFeed News)

Apparently, this did not match his inner being, so Smith developed a "psychosomatic reaction" to ejaculation.

Shën.red. The term psychosomatic refers to real physical symptoms caused or influenced by the brain and emotions instead of a specific cause in the body (such as an injury or infection).

"I had sex with so many women and it was so incompatible with my being that I developed a psychosomatic reaction to orgasm," he wrote of the condition, which caused him to vomit.

Despite the negative reaction to sex, Smith continued to sleep with many women in the hope that they would cure his pain.

Smith married Sheree Zampino in 1992 and divorced in 1995. Later, he married his current wife Jada Pinkett Smith, with whom he has an open relationship.

Smith has three children: son Trey, 29, with Zampino and son Jaden, 23, daughter Willowe, 21, with Pinkett Smith.
