- Jada Pinkett Smith files to dismiss a $3 million lawsuit by Salaam.
- Legal documents claim the lawsuit is a bid for media attention.
- The dispute stems from allegations involving Will Smith and Duane Martin.
Hollywood actress Jada Pinkett Smith has officially initiated a major legal move against Bilal Salaam, a former close associate of her husband, Will Smith. The Scream 2 actress has approached a California court to request the immediate dismissal of a $3 million lawsuit filed against her in late 2025. Jada’s legal team argues that the lawsuit lacks merit and is intended solely to exploit her family’s fame for personal gain.
The Roots Of The Three Million Dollar Claim
According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Bilal Salaam alleged in his initial filing that Jada Pinkett Smith had personally threatened him during a confrontation at a hotel. Salaam, a musician who worked alongside Will Smith for years, claimed the experience caused significant distress. However, Jada’s new filing asserts that Salaam is conducting a calculated public campaign against the Smith family to remain relevant in the media spotlight.
Scandalous Allegations And Media Campaigns
This legal friction intensified after Bilal Salaam appeared on the Unwine With Tasha K podcast, where he made sensational claims regarding Will Smith’s private life. During the interview, he alleged that he witnessed the Oscar-winning actor in a compromising situation with fellow actor Duane Martin. Jada’s legal representatives maintain that these claims are entirely fabricated and serve as the foundation for Salaam’s attempts to harass the family through the judicial system.
Jada Pinkett Smith Vows To Fight Back
In her request for dismissal, Jada emphasizes her right to speak out on matters concerning her family that have already become subjects of intense public interest. She previously told the media outlet TMZ that her family would not back down from these accusations, stating clearly that they were proceeding with legal action. The court must now decide whether Salaam’s claims hold enough weight to proceed or if Jada’s request for dismissal will effectively end the $3 million dispute.
