Will Smith could become a co-defendant in a legal battle involving his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith , after former friend Bilaal Salaam said in court filings that he plans to sue the actor. Salaam filed the documents months after suing Jada over alleged harassment connected to the fallout from the 2022 Oscars slap. According to the filing, Salaam wants to amend his complaint and bring Will into the case. Salaam claims Jada and people associated with her targeted him after he declined to help Will manage the aftermath of Will’s onstage attack of Chris Rock. What Is Salaam Claiming? Salaam also alleges that Jada became angry after learning he was writing a memoir that would discuss Will, Jada, and their family. Jada has denied wrongdoing, and a judge previously dismissed many of Salaam’s claims, but Salaam is now seeking permission to revise his lawsuit. The legal dispute also includes a $32,000 attorney-fee award that Jada is pursuing against Salaam. Salaam says he cannot afford the debt and has asked the court to reduce the amount or approve a payment plan, adding another financial complication to a case already pulling the Smith family’s private drama into court.
