Will Smith's lawyer just called the harassment lawsuit against him total fiction. Attorney Allen B. Grodsky issued a statement categorically denying all allegations from violinist Brian King Joseph, vowing to use every legal tool to disprove the claims. The suit, filed in late December, accuses Smith and his company, Treyball Studios Management, of a pattern of grooming and retaliatory firing.
Joseph's complaint centers on a Las Vegas hotel incident during Smith's tour in March 2025. The musician alleges he found a threatening handwritten note and suspicious items in his room, including HIV medication. After reporting the discovery, he claims he was shamed and terminated days later, replaced by another performer. The filing also suggests Smith spent months cultivating a special connection with the thirty-three-year-old artist.
Joseph had previewed his claims in an emotional Instagram video on Christmas Day, criticizing workplace retaliation for reporting misconduct. Smith's legal team is now formally dismissing the entire account as false and reckless, setting up a contentious legal fight in the Los Angeles court where Joseph seeks damages for post-traumatic stress and lost income.
