Jada Pinkett Smith Seeks Court-Ordered Psych Exam Of Will Smith’s Ex-Best Friend Over Wild Claims

Jada Pinkett Smith is pushing the court to order a comprehensive mental evaluation of Will Smith’s former friend who’s suing her for $3 million.

The actress filed court documents requesting that Bilal Salaam submit to a 5 to 6 hour psychological exam to test whether his emotional distress claims actually hold up.

Jada’s legal team argues that since Bilal made his mental and emotional condition the centerpiece of his case, doctors should examine whether and to what extent he’s actually suffering from the conditions he alleges.

Bilal filed his lawsuit back in December 2025, claiming Jada threatened him and caused him severe emotional trauma.

He says her actions forced him to live overseas out of fear, destroyed a long-term romantic relationship, and gave him high blood pressure.

The situation began when Bilal refused to help Will clean up the Chris Rock mess, then announced he was writing a memoir that would mention Will and detail what he claimed was a swinger’s lifestyle involving other celebrities.

According to TMZ, Jada and other friends allegedly went after him after learning about his memoir plans.

The legal battle’s already produced major wins for Jada.

A Los Angeles judge ordered Bilal to pay her $32,836 in legal fees after dismissing some of his claims under California’s anti-SLAPP law. When Bilal claimed he couldn’t pay because he was homeless, the court didn’t buy it.

Then in August 2026, things got crazy when Bilal tried to drag Will Smith into the lawsuit as a co-defendant, seeking to depose the actor and claim he participated in the threats.

Jada’s strategy now is clear.

By having medical professionals examine Bilal, she’s trying to undermine the foundation of his entire case.

If doctors find he’s not actually suffering from the emotional distress he claims, his $3 million demand falls apart.
