29 May
Summary
- Sheree Zampino is suing Bilaal Salaam for over $1 million.
- Salaam allegedly made defamatory claims about Zampino to her ex-husband.
- Zampino is an actress, entrepreneur, and former wife of Will Smith.
Sheree Zampino, Will Smith's first wife, has filed a lawsuit seeking over USD 1 million in damages from Bilaal Salaam, a former associate of Smith. Salaam is accused of making defamatory statements about Zampino, including false claims that she was promiscuous and used derogatory language. Zampino's legal team asserts she has been inadvertently involved in Salaam's ongoing dispute with Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Zampino, an actress and entrepreneur, gained recognition as Smith's first wife and later for her roles in "Hollywood Exes" and "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." She also appeared on "Red Table Talk" with Pinkett Smith, discussing their blended family.
Her business ventures include the fashion boutique Sheree Elizabeth Boutique and the skincare line Whoop Ash. Zampino also shares a son, Trey, with Will Smith. Their relationship began in 1991, leading to marriage in 1992 and Trey's birth shortly after.
The couple's marriage lasted approximately three years and seven months, ending in divorce finalized in 1995. Zampino cited their youth and the pressures of marriage and Will Smith's burgeoning career as reasons for the split, stating they were too young to manage such responsibilities.
