A certain former confidant of Will Smith, allegedly named Bilaal Salaam, is stirring the pot with some seriously spicy claims against Jada Pinkett Smith. Word on the street (thanks to some juicy court docs obtained by TMZ) is that he’s itching for answers regarding some very alleged threats directed at him. Apparently, he’s been trying to pin Jada down for a deposition, but she’s clearly playing hard to get — and last we checked, she’s ghosted him like a bad Tinder date.
Bilaal's saga reportedly kicked off when Jada got super upset after he turned down her request to help Will clean up the mess following that Oscars slap heard 'round the world. When you decline a cry for help in Hollywood, who knows what could happen? According to his claims, Jada allegedly sent some shadowy figures to threaten him when she caught wind of his plans to pen a memoir that would, spoiler alert, spill the Smith family secrets. Because really, who wouldn’t want a front-row seat to that reality show gone wrong?
As expected, Jada isn’t taking this lying down. She’s emphatically denying all allegations like a seasoned pro and has succeeded in tossing out a bunch of claims in the lawsuit — classic strategic maneuver! But our boy Bilaal believes her testimony could be the golden ticket to his case. Jada’s legal team, however, is not impressed and insists she’s already had her turn in the hot seat for a different legal battle with him. Now they want to limit any further interrogation to just a single hour — can we say so rude?
As of now, the judge is still holding cards close to the vest. Stay tuned, because if this is just the appetizer, the main course is bound to be a thrilling feast we won’t want to miss!
