Overview
- Brian King Joseph filed the suit on December 30 in Los Angeles Superior Court against Will Smith and Treyball Studios Management.
- The complaint describes an alleged unauthorized entry into Joseph’s Las Vegas hotel room in March 2025 and items left behind, including HIV medication in another name and a note signed "Stone F."
- Joseph says he reported the incident to hotel security, a non-emergency police line and Smith’s team, after which a tour manager shamed him and he was dismissed and replaced.
- He seeks damages for emotional distress, PTSD, reputational harm and financial losses related to his removal from the tour.
- Smith’s attorney, Allen Grodsky, called the accusations false, baseless and reckless and said they will fight the claims, with outlets citing Variety as having reviewed the complaint.
