Will Smith is laughing off his former assistant Brother Bilaal’s “nonsense” story about him having sex with Duane Martin, according to Jada Pinkett Smith.
The actress appeared on “The Breakfast Club” Thursday, telling Charlamagne Tha God that her husband was able to “find the funny” in the situation.
“You have to because it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Pinkett Smith, 52, explained. “You’ve just got to laugh about it. And it’s unfortunate.”
When the host joked that Smith, 55, probably asked whether he “give[s] off bottom energy,” the “Girls Trip” star laughed and shared his real reaction.
“He was like, ‘Do you believe this s–t?'” she recalled.
Elsewhere in the interview, Pinkett Smith said that she and the Oscar winner are planning on taking “legal action” over the “salacious, malicious” comments that Bilaal made Monday on “Unwine with Tasha K.”
She claimed, “This is a person that tried a shakedown, a money shakedown that didn’t work. … 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 that they needed to be compensated.
“Will was willing to give him a certain amount, and he didn’t take it,” Pinkett Smith continued while admitting she did not know “the complete details” of the situation.
The “Red Table Talk” co-host similarly told TMZ Wednesday that she and Smith were “suing.”
As for the “King Richard” star, his rep told the outlet that the allegations were “unequivocally false” and “complete nonsense.”
Charlamagne pointed out Thursday that the couple have been accused of being “swingers” and “playing each other’s beards” since they tied the knot in 1996.
Pinkett Smith previously clapped back at rumors of an “open” marriage in 2013, saying she and Smith instead have a “relaxed” dynamic.
Five years later, the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star told “Rap Radar” listeners that he referred to Pinkett Smith as his “life partner” instead of his wife because there were “no deal breakers” that could end their bond.
The duo were secretly separated at the time, with the “Worthy” author revealing to People in October that she and Smith have lived apart for years.
The pair, who do not have intentions to divorce, are the parents of son Jaden, 25, and daughter Willow, 23.
