Jada Pinkett Smith Seeks Dismissal of $3 Million Emotional‑Distress Suit

Her filing says Bilaal Salaam has not produced the medical or third‑party evidence courts require to prove severe emotional distress.

Overview

  • Jada Pinkett Smith filed court papers Thursday asking a judge to throw out Bilaal Salaam’s $3 million lawsuit, in filings first reported by TMZ.
  • Salaam alleges people tied to the Smith family threatened him, which he says caused severe emotional distress, weight gain, a breakup, and a temporary move overseas.
  • Jada’s response calls the claims false and publicity‑driven, and she says she never publicly mentioned Salaam by name.
  • Her legal team argues the case fails because Salaam has not supplied medical records, psychological evaluations, or other independent documentation to support his claims.
  • The suit stems from disputes tied to Will Smith’s Oscars controversy and a planned memoir by Salaam, and it remains pending while the court reviews Jada’s dismissal request.
