LOS ANGELES: Will Smith has been sued by a tour violinist who is accusing the Hollywood star-rapper of sexual harassment, wrongful termination and retaliation.
In the suit, musician Brian King Joseph names Smith and Treyball Studios Management as defendants and accuses Smith of “predatory behavior” and “deliberately grooming and priming Joseph for further sexual exploitation” while on his “Based on a True Story: 2025 Tour” this past spring, reports variety.com.
The suit claims that Smith hired Joseph in November 2024 to perform at a show in San Diego and was subsequently invited to join his 2025 tour and play on his upcoming album.
