Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Revealed ridiculous claim – YES he slept with Duane Martin, planning ‘legal action’

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are denying new rumors about cheating in their marriage.

In her interview with Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” on Thursday, Pinkett Smith said she and Smith are planning legal action against an alleged former associate who claims Smith had a sexual relationship with actor Duane Martin.

Host Charlamagne tha God asked Pinkett Smith about debunking rumors in her memoir, “Worthy” — specifically about the “No Soccer Mom” chapter where she addresses claims that she and Smith are swingers or gay. That was when the recent claims about Smith and Martin came up.

“Let me just say this, it’s ridiculous, right? And it’s nonsense. And this is a person that tried a shakedown, a money shakedown that didn’t work,” Pinkett Smith said. “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. So that’s actionable, we’re going to roll with that.”

The claims came from alleged former associate Brother Bilal, who appeared on the “Unwine With Tasha K” podcast on Wednesday and claimed that he walked in on Smith and Martin engaging in sexual activity.

According to Pinkett Smith, the rumor is “based around this person’s idea that they were in some way, were doing business around Will’s book, and that they spent money or what have you and they needed to be compensated. So he already tried to do this money shakedown. Will was willing to give him a certain amount or what have, and he didn’t take it. So this whole situation is based on that.”

The “Red Table Talk” host said she didn’t know the details of the deal, but reiterated “we’re about to take legal action. We are, for sure.”

Pinkett Smith — who recently revealed that she and Smith have been separated for the past seven years, but have no plans to divorce — said they are both laughing off the rumors. She explained, “Here’s one good thing about Will, Will’s always going to find the funny.”

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for the Smiths and Martin, but they did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In a statement to People, a rep for Smith said, “This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false.”

Bilal told Fox News Digital, “I stand by all my statements. There was no ‘shakedown’ period. Jada is being untruthful. I have the evidence. Everything was addressed in my full interview with Tasha K prior to Jada’s comments.”

Martin is an actor who has been in the couple’s orbit for several years. He was most recently seen with Pinkett Smith in April 2021.

Pinkett Smith previously attended the premiere of Martin’s film “The Seat Filler” in 2006, and Smith was photographed with Martin during the premiere of the 2003 film “Deliver Us from Eva.”
