20 May
Summary
- Jada Pinkett Smith was awarded $32,836 in legal fees.
- A lawsuit claimed emotional distress from alleged threats.
- Jada denied all claims and sought legal fees.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has awarded Jada Pinkett Smith $32,836 in legal fees. This decision stems from a lawsuit filed by a man named Bilaal, who alleged he suffered emotional distress due to threats from Jada and her associates.
Bilaal claimed he was involved with the Smith family for decades and was asked to assist with damage control after Will Smith's 2022 Oscars incident. He stated he declined the offer, after which Jada and her team allegedly began threatening him upon learning he was writing a memoir about his experiences.
Jada Pinkett Smith vehemently denied all claims of wrongdoing, asserting that Bilaal suffered no damages. She counter-sued for her legal fees after persuading the judge to dismiss several of Bilaal's claims, ultimately securing this financial award.
