One thing Jada Pinkett Smith is not playing about when it comes to Will Smith is rumors of an alleged affair between her husband and actor Duane Martin. In a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show, the 52-year-old Red Table Talk host was asked about the allegations that Will and Duane had sexual relations.
Jada made it clear to hosts Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy that the rumors weren't at all true. “Let me just say this,” she stated. “It’s ridiculous, right? And it’s nonsense.”
The rumor came from a man known as Brother Bilaal, who says he formerly worked as an assistant to Will. In an interview on the UnWine with Tasha K podcast, he claimed that he walked in on Will and Duane engaged in sexual acts.
Jada says these rumors are a way for Brother Bilaal to extort both her and Will. “This is a person that tried a shakedown, a money shakedown that didn’t work,” she said. “We’re gonna take legal action. Because it’s one thing to have your opinion about somebody versus just making up salacious, malicious stories, so that’s actionable.”

Duane has not yet addressed the rumors. However, some fans weighed in with their opinions.
"Hard to believe let alone trust anything she says ," one person said, apparently referring to Jada.
"Her taking up for Will now after just constantly clowning him," another person commented.
