Jada Pinkett Smith has addressed recent online accusations suggesting that her husband, Will Smith, was involved with fellow actor Duane Martin. When approached for comment while leaving iHeartRadio in New York, Jada responded with two words: "We suing!"
Later, in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy of The Breakfast Club, she elaborated on her and Will’s reaction to the news, calling the claims “ridiculous” and “nonsense.”
“This is a person who tried a shakedown, a money shakedown, and it didn’t work. We’re going to take legal action. Because it’s one thing to have your opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories,” she said.

“He already tried to do this money shakedown, and Will was willing to give him a certain amount or what have you, and he didn’t take it. So this whole situation is based on that,” she said.
