Will Smith has broken his silence regarding claims made by his former assistant, alleging a physical relationship between Smith and his friend Duane Martin. In an interview on November 14, a man identified as Brother Bilaal, claiming to be Smith's ex-assistant and close friend, made shocking allegations. He stated that he once walked in on Smith engaging in anal sex with his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air co-star. Nevertheless, Smith's representative refuted these claims, labeling them as "completely false."

During an interview with Tasha K, Bilaal detailed the alleged incident, claiming he witnessed Duane and Smith engaged in explicit activity in a dressing room. However, Smith's spokesperson swiftly denied the accusations, deeming the story as a fabrication and suggesting potential legal action against Bilaal for spreading false information.

The viral video featuring Bilaal's claims circulated widely on social media, prompting shock among fans. Many expressed disbelief at the scandalous allegations against the King Richard star. Discussions online varied, with one user highlighting the invasion of privacy, stating, "Entering someone’s dressing room with a key and exposing them is just weird and tacky. Mind yo business." Another commenter questioned the motive behind the accusations and their timing.

This controversy comes after Jada Pinkett Smith addressed her husband's Oscars slap incident involving Chris Rock. Jada confessed that she initially perceived the incident as part of a skit, expressing her support for Will Smith despite their separation prior to the Oscars. She affirmed her commitment to stand by him, stating, "I didn’t come into this place as your wife, but I’m leaving here as your wife because we got a storm we’re going to have to deal with together."
