Salaam alleges that Pinkett Smith became verbally aggressive and threatened her, saying that if she didn’t stop “telling me personal things,” she “might disappear or get shot.”
She also claims that Pinkett Smith required her to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The suit says his team followed Salaam to his car while continuing to make “verbal threats.”

Salaam says he plans to write a “whistleblower’s memoir” about his experiences around the couple, and he says he has experienced further threats as a result.
Salaam has said that he suffered financial loss, emotional distress, physical health problems and reputational damage and experienced “a complete derailment of his personal life and career”.
Salaam has previously made various claims about the Smith family. In 2023, she claimed on media personality Tasha K’s podcast that Smith had sex with actor Duane Martin years ago. According to Salaam, at that time he would have found the men having sex in Martin’s dressing room behind the scenes of a Hollywood production.
– He was like a deer in the headlights. He cursed when he saw me, Salaam claimed Smith reacted.
Smith disputed the claims made by Salaam.
– The claims are a complete lie, Smith’s representative commented to TMZ in 2023.
In addition, a TMZ source said that Smith is considering legal action in the matter.
