Jada Pinkett Smith has hinted that she and husband Will Smith are set to take legal action following claims that he was caught having sex with Fresh Prince actor Duane Martin.
It’s unclear if Pinkett Smith was serious about consulting her lawyers, but when asked about the situation on Wednesday the actress told photographers in video obtained by TMZ: ‘We suin’!

It comes after her husband staunchly denied the allegations. Meanwhile, TMZ reports that sources close to Martin say he has no plans to speak out publicly as the claims are ridiculous.
Brother Bilaal, who describes himself as the actor’s ex-personal assistant, made the shock accusation in an now viral interview with internet personality Tasha K.
Will Smith will WISH this interview NEVER happened! This is one of the closest people to Will aside from Jada to sit down and tell all about him. From meeting Jada, Tupac, Will’s sexuality and manhood size, he KNOWS and TELLS it ALL‼️@bopulent

Will Smith gay rumors
Bilaal claims he once walked in on the Men In Black star, now 55, and Martin engaged in a sex act in Martin’s dressing room.
‘I opened the door to Duane’s dressing room and that’s when I see Duane having anal sex with Will,’ Brother Bilaal said. ‘There was a couch and Will was bent over on the couch and Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him – it was murder in there.’
He also made unflattering claims about Smith’s manhood, comparing his penis to the size of a ‘pinky toe’.
A spokesperson for the Oscar-winning actor insisted the story was ‘completely fabricated’ in a statement to TMZ on Tuesday, while a source told the outlet that Smith is ‘considering taking legal action.’
Jada insisted they had plans to take legal action during an appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show on Wednesday, where she described the allegations as untrue and ‘ridiculous.’
‘It’s ridiculous, right? And it’s nonsense. This is a person who tried to do a shake down, a money shake down that didn’t work. We’re going to take legal action. Because it’s one thing to have your opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories. So that’s actionable, so we’re going to roll with that.
‘So for me, unfortunately, it’s part of it,’ she added. ‘It’s not true, we’re going to take care of it. And that’s that.’
She described how the rumor allegedly started: ‘It’s based around this person’s idea that they in some way were doing business around Will’s book and that they spent money or what have you and they need to be compensated.
‘So he already tried to do that money shakedown,’ she said. ‘Will was willing to give him a certain amount or what have you and he didn’t take it so this whole situation is based on that.’
Asked why Will would give him money, she said: ‘Some business that they have. I don’t know the complete details about it but that’s about to come out because like I told you, we’re about to take legal action,’ she said.
Asked how Will was dealing with the matter, she said Will always finds the humor in situations.
‘Here’s one good thing about Will – Will’s always going to find the funny. He’s always going to find the funny!’ she said.
Duane Martin, 58, was married to actress Tisha Campbell from 1996–2020.
The Brooklyn-born actor is best known for his stints in the series L.A.’s Finest and on the show All of Us.
Martin has worked with Smith on a number of projects, including two episodes of his former series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1993 and 1995, and three episodes of the 2022 reboot Bel-Air.
He’s also been seen on The Paul Reiser Show, in the films White Men Can’t Jump and Scream 2, and in the music video for the 1994 Boyz II Men hit I’ll Make Love to You.
