Earlier this workweek , one of Will ’s former employees claimed that he once " walk in " on the actor allegedly hold sex .
Will Smithhas denied claims that he had a sexual relationship with Duane Martin.
Will’s ex-employee Brother Bilal made the claims earlier this week during aninterviewon the podcastUnwineWith Tasha K. In it, Bilal said he witnessed multiple “sexual acts” throughout his time working for the actor, including once when he allegedly “walked in” on him and Duane having anal sex.
Jada firstaddressedthe “ridiculous” claim yesterday during an interview onThe Breakfast Clubradio show.
“Let me just say this," she began. “It’s ridiculous, right? And it’s nonsense.”
Jada continued, “This is a person that tried a shakedown, a money shakedown that didn’t work.”
She also said, “We’re gonna 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. So we gon’ roll with that.”
As for why Bilal might have made such a strong claim against Will, Jada believes that he might be upset about how he was compensated for a book he worked on with Will.
“It’s based around this person’s idea that they, in some way, were doing business around Will’s book, and that they spent money or what have you, and that they needed to be compensated,” she shared. “So he already tried to do this money shakedown.”
She added, “Will was willing to give him a certain amount, and he didn’t take it. So this whole situation is based on that.”
Jada said she was unaware of the terms of their alleged business deal but stated, “Like I told you, we ’bout to take legal action.”
Will also vehemently denied Bilal’s claim in astatementto People magazine through his rep.
“This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false,” the rep said.
Meanwhile, Duane has not publicly commented on Bilal’s allegations.
