Lawsuit Follows Other Legal Disputes
The filing comes weeks after a separate $3 million lawsuit filed Dec. 1 by former associate Bilaal Salaam, also known as Brother Bilaal, against Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, alleging verbal threats.
An entertainment source previously told PEOPLE that the Smiths dismissed those claims, describing them as unfounded and calling Salaam “an opportunistic person out to exploit them.”
As Will Smith Sued by Brian King Joseph moves through the courts, the case adds another layer of controversy to the public life of one of Hollywood’s most recognizable figures.
