Will Smith Denies Baseless Rumors: Will Smith is addressing the recent surge of rumors claiming he had a past intimate relationship with his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air co-star Duane Martin.
A representative for the actor unequivocally dismissed the rumors, stating, “This story is completely fabricated, and the claim is unequivocally false.” The initial claim originated from Smith’s former assistant, Brother Bilaal.
Bilaal asserted that he witnessed the alleged encounter and provided graphic details during an appearance on the Unwine With Tasha K podcast. Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, had already refuted the allegation earlier in the week, stating, “We suin’!” She reiterated this stance in a preview of an interview with Power 105.1s The Breakfast Club, emphasizing their intention to take legal action.
Pinkett Smith characterized the rumor as “ridiculous” and suggested that Bilaal attempted a failed money shakedown. She stated, “It’s one thing to have your opinion about somebody, versus just making up salacious, malicious stories. That’s actionable, so we’re gonna roll with that.”
Despite living separate lives for the past seven years, the couple remains legally married with no current plans for divorce. Pinkett Smith has addressed various rumors, including accusations of infidelity, in her recently published memoir, Worthy, firmly standing by her husband.
