The high-profile Hollywood couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have found themselves in an unwelcome spotlight lately.

Both Will and Jada have strongly denied these claims, labeling them as completely false and fabricated.

Pinkett Smith, in particular, has labeled these accusations as “ridiculous” and “nonsense.” These claims, put forth by an individual named Brother Bilal, have been dismissed by the couple as baseless and malicious.

“It’s one thing to have your opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories. So, that’s actionable. So we gonna roll with that,” Pinkett Smith said.

The Smiths are not only confronting these allegations head-on but are also planning to pursue legal action. Pinkett Smith elaborated that the claims stem from a “money shakedown” attempt by Bilal, who purported to have been involved in business around Will Smith’s book.

“Will was willing to give him a certain amount, and he didn’t take it. So, this whole situation is based on that,” she explained.

This stance is further reinforced by Will Smith, who, through his representative, told PEOPLE that the claims are “completely fabricated” and “unequivocally false.”
