Jada Pinkett Smith has spoken out in response to recent online allegations that her husband, Will Smith, slept with fellow actor Duane Martin.
When asked about the allegations as she was leaving iHeartRadio in New York on Wednesday, Jada simply said, “We suing!”
Later, in an interview with The Breakfast Club’s Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, she expounded on her and Will’s reaction to the news, calling the charges “ridiculous” and “nonsense.”
“This is a person who tried a shakedown, a money shakedown, and it didn’t work. We’re going to take legal action. Because it’s one thing to have your opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories,” she said.
She later added that the claims the new accusations stemmed from a shakedown by Will’s former “friend” and assistant, Brother Bilal, who started the rumours about the Hancock star, and Duane were false.
“He already tried to do this money shakedown, and Will was willing to give him a certain amount or what have you, and he didn’t take it. So this whole situation is based on that,” she said.
