Overview
- Jada Pinkett Smith asked a California court to strike Bilaal Salaam’s complaint, calling his allegations false, uncorroborated, and part of a harassment campaign against her family.
- The motion contends the case seeks to punish her constitutionally protected speech on matters of public interest and requests that Salaam pay her legal fees if the anti-SLAPP bid succeeds.
- Salaam’s November–December 2025 lawsuit alleges Jada threatened him at the Regency Calabasas Commons on Sept. 25, 2021, saying he would end up missing or catch a bullet if he kept sharing her personal business.
- The complaint also claims Jada pushed a non-disclosure agreement, arrived with multiple people, and that a manager warned him to resolve a dispute about a planned memoir or face physical harm.
- Coverage notes Salaam previously made a 2023 claim about Will Smith and actor Duane Martin that Will’s representative called completely fabricated, and Will has not publicly commented on the current suit.
