• Will Smith May Be Added To Bilaal Salaam Lawsuit (balleralert.com) — An alleged 2021 confrontation in the lobby of the Regency Calabasas Commons is at the heart of a lawsuit where Bilaal Salaam accuses Jada Pinkett Smith of threatening him over sharing her personal business. Salaam now wants to add Will Smith as a co-defendant, even as courts have mostly sided with Jada so far and he also faces a separate slander suit from Will's ex-wife, Sheree Zampino.
