Overview
- A court dismissed Salaam’s emotional-distress lawsuit against Jada Pinkett Smith after finding he offered no medical records, psychological evaluations, or other professional documentation to support his claims.
- The judge ordered Salaam to pay more than $32,000 in Jada Pinkett Smith’s attorney fees, and Salaam has filed paperwork saying he cannot afford the amount.
- In his filings Salaam says he is certified homeless and receives welfare benefits and asks the court either to cut the fee or set up a payment plan.
- Salaam has continued to make public allegations on podcasts, and one of those appearances prompted a separate slander lawsuit by Sheree Zampino that adds to his legal exposure.
- The court’s ruling on Salaam’s request will shape his immediate financial burden and could influence whether additional claims proceed or are resolved quickly.
