Will Smith: Musician Accuses Him of Sexual Harassment

Violinist Brian King Joseph has filed a lawsuit against actor Will Smith, accusing him of sexual harassment and wrongful termination from his world tour. According to the lawsuit, Smith allegedly approached him “gradually and intentionally,” creating conditions for sexual exploitation, and reportedly told him: “You and I have such a special connection that I don’t have with anyone else.” Joseph describes an incident in Las Vegas, where he found his hotel room violated with items that did not belong to him, including handkerchiefs, a bottle of beer, HIV medication in another person’s name, and a note signed by Smith that read: “Brian, I’ll be back… just the two of us.” He claims the incident was reported, but he then faced pressure and was removed from the tour. Joseph reports severe psychological distress, financial damage, and harm to his reputation, and also experienced symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Will Smith, through his lawyer, vehemently denies the allegations, calling them false and irresponsible.
