Will Smith’s Alleged Longtime Friend Claims Jada Pinkett Smith Threatened His Life In $3 Million Lawsuit

Will Smith’s Alleged Longtime Friend Claims Jada Pinkett Smith
Threatened His Life In $3 Million Lawsuit

A bombshell new lawsuit claims #JadaPinkettSmith threatened Will Smith’s former close friend for sharing alleged private details about their personal life.

Bilaal Salaam, who has described himself as previously being a longtime friend of #WillSmith, has filed a $3 million lawsuit against Jada Pinkett Smith, accusing her of threatening his life after he allegedly disclosed personal information about her. According to the complaint, obtained by Page Six, on September 25, 2021, during Will’s birthday party, Jada allegedly confronted Salaam in a lobby with about seven members of her entourage. He claims she told him that if he kept “telling her personal business,” he would “end up missing or catch a bullet,” and demanded he sign a nondisclosure agreement “or else.”

As Salaam left, he says one of her associates followed him to his car and continued to threaten him verbally. Salaam further claims that after he declined involvement in crisis-management efforts following the 2022 #Oscars slap incident involving Will, he was subject to a “retaliatory campaign,” including additional threats, when he pursued a memoir and spoke out. On top of all of that, Salaam is suing Jada for “intentional infliction of emotional distress” because she denied his claims that he had seen her husband engage in s3xual behavior with men.

He says Jada’s public denial of the allegations damaged his credibility, resulting in severe emotional distress, reputational harm, financial loss and overall personal disruption. Reps for Jada and Will have not responded to the lawsuit yet.
