Jada Pinkett Smith Seeks 5-Hour Mental Exam in $3M Lawsuit
4 Oct
Summary
- Jada Pinkett Smith is requesting a 5-to-6-hour mental examination for Bilaal Salaam.
- Salaam claims Jada caused him emotional distress, leading to him living overseas.
- He is seeking $3 million in damages for alleged threats and distress.
Jada Pinkett Smith is requesting court permission to have Bilaal Salaam undergo a comprehensive mental examination. Salaam, a former friend of Will Smith, is suing Jada for $3 million, alleging she threatened him and caused him severe emotional distress.
According to court documents, Salaam claims these alleged actions led him to live overseas out of fear, lose a long-term romantic partner, and develop high blood pressure. Jada contends that Salaam has made his mental and emotional condition a central aspect of his lawsuit.
She believes a 5-to-6-hour examination by a doctor is therefore warranted to assess the validity and extent of his claimed distress. Salaam's lawsuit reportedly arose after he declined to assist Will Smith in managing fallout from the Chris Rock incident and objected to Salaam's intention to write a memoir mentioning Will.
