Will Smith May Be Deposed in Jada's Lawsuit

Will Smith could become involved in legal proceedings related to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's ongoing lawsuit. Bilaal Salaam, a former friend of Will's, has formally requested to depose Will as part of his case against Jada.

In an email sent on July 7, Salaam communicated his deposition request to Jada's lawyer. However, Jada's legal representatives rejected the proposal, asserting that Will is not a party to the current litigation and has not been formally served with a subpoena.

This deposition attempt is part of Salaam's $3 million lawsuit against Jada. He alleges that she orchestrated threats against him after he declined to assist with the public relations fallout from Will's Oscar incident. Salaam also claims the threats escalated when Jada discovered he was writing a memoir mentioning the Smith family.

Jada Pinkett Smith has denied all allegations of wrongdoing and dismissed the claims of threats. While a judge previously dismissed some of Salaam's claims and awarded Jada over $30,000 in legal fees, the remainder of the case is still active. Salaam is also accused by Jada's team of failing to produce required medical records related to his emotional distress claims.
