Jada Pinkett Smith Demands $49K from Will's Ex-Friend
23 Apr
Summary
- Jada seeks $49,000 in attorney fees from Bilaal Salaam.
- Bilaal sued Jada over alleged emotional distress threats.
- Jada denies claims, citing lack of evidence and harassment.
Jada Pinkett Smith has requested a court order for Will Smith's former friend, Bilaal Salaam, to cover her legal expenses amounting to $49,000.
This demand comes after Jada successfully convinced a judge to dismiss the emotional distress claims filed by Salaam against her. The significant legal bill was incurred by Jada in her defense against Salaam's allegations.
Salaam, who identified himself as a long-time friend of Will Smith, had sued Jada. He claimed he suffered emotional distress due to alleged threats made by Jada and her associates. These threats purportedly arose after Salaam announced plans to write a memoir.
Jada has denied these accusations, asserting that Salaam presented no concrete evidence to support his claims of losing a girlfriend, needing to leave the country, or experiencing weight loss due to distress. She suggested his lawsuit was an attention-seeking tactic in a campaign against her and Will Smith.
