New York City, December 7, 2023 – Jada Pinkett Smith, the acclaimed actress and talk show host,
was seen leaving iHeart Radio Studios in New York City on Wednesday morning,
addressing the recent allegations surrounding her husband, Will Smith.
The rumors stem from a former employee’s claim that Will Smith had an affair with actor Dwayne Martin. When questioned about the allegations, Jada Pinkett Smith did not shy away, stating, “We were in this power struggle, and we were just tired, so we decided to go our separate ways.”
Despite the Smiths’ dismissal of the rumors, the controversy has taken an unexpected turn, with Steven A. Smith adding fuel to the fire. On a recent episode of the YouTube show “Unwind with Tasha K,” Will Smith’s former assistant, Balal, alleged that he had witnessed Will getting intimate with Dwayne Martin years ago on a movie set.
Will Smith’s spokesperson swiftly responded to the allegations, calling the story “completely fabricated and unequivocally false.” However, Steven A. Smith expressed skepticism about their truthfulness on his own show and pointed the finger at Jada Pinkett Smith, holding her responsible for the ongoing speculation.
During an interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, Jada Pinkett Smith addressed the allegations, describing Balal as attempting a “money shakedown that didn’t work.” She declared, “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.”
Despite the couple’s dismissal of the rumors, Steven A. Smith continued to voice his doubts on the truthfulness of the allegations. He suggested that Jada Pinkett Smith’s openness about their relationship, particularly during the promotion of her memoir “Worthy,” has fueled the public’s interest and speculation.
In response to the recent controversy, Steven A. Smith advised the public to stay silent and cited Dwayne Martin as an example of someone who has not dignified the rumors with a response. He emphasized the importance of keeping private matters confidential to avoid unnecessary public scrutiny.
As discussions surrounding relationships, fidelity, and personal responsibility continue to unfold, fans are left wondering about the validity of the allegations and the impact on the Smiths’ public image. The controversy has sparked debates about the boundaries between public and private life and the consequences of sharing personal details in the public domain.
