Jada Pinkett Smith threatened her husband Will’s long-time friend that he would ‘end up missing’ if he didn’t stop talking about her personal business, shocking court papers claim
Alternatively he would ‘catch a bullet,’ the papers filed by Bilaal Salaam allege.
Salaam, also known as Brother Bilaal, is accusing Pinkett Smith of inflicting emotional distress and is seeking $3 million damages.
He is representing himself in the case, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
According to his filing, Jada, 54, approached Salaam with a posse of seven in the lobby of a hotel in Calabasas, California, during a private gathering for Will’s 53rd birthday in September 2021.
She became ‘verbally aggressive,’ he said, threatened him, and demanded he sign a non-disclosure agreement ‘or else,’ at which point he allegedly left for his car, with one of the seven associates following him to continue issuing ‘verbal threats’.
Salaam – who made a cameo appearance in Will Smith’s 2000 movie The Legend of Bagger Vance – described himself in his suit as ‘a best friend for nearly 40 years’.
‘This relationship is confirmed by Will Smith’s published memoir, Will, which features plaintiff by name and/or photograph, and public testimony by actor D.L. Hughley,’ he wrote
Salaam claims he endured harrowing consequences, including PTSD, the onset of high blood-pressure and Type 2 diabetes, gaining 100 pounds and was ‘forced into self-exile for nearly two years’ which, he says cost him his long-term romantic relationship and the opportunity to see his children.
Speaking to the Daily Mail after filing the papers, Salaam said he is ‘seeking justice for the atrocities committed against me by Will and Jada’.
And he clarified that while the three counts target his former best friend’s wife, he says he plans to file against 57-year-old Will as well.
Salaam says he was threatened again immediately after the 2022 Oscars when Will Smith famously slapped Chris Rock over a joke about his wife’s alopecia.
