Jada Pinkett Smith is being sued for $3 million in damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress by Will Smith’s longtime friend, who claims that The Matrix Revolutions star threatened him with physical violence in 2021.
Bilaal Salaam, who described himself in the lawsuit as “a best friend” of Will Smith’s for nearly 40 years, alleges in papers seen by The Independent that Pinkett Smith threatened he would “catch a stray bullet” or “go missing” if he didn’t stop talking about her personal business.
