Jada Pinkett Smith Wants Will Smith's Ex-Friend To Undergo Mental Evaluation In USD 3M Lawsuit
Her lawyers say his emotional distress claims justify a five- to six-hour evaluation by a psychiatrist.
- Jada Pinkett Smith is asking a California judge to mandate a psychological evaluation for Bilaal Salaam, the former friend of Will Smith currently suing her for $3 million in damages.
- Salaam sued in late 2025, alleging Jada Pinkett Smith engaged in intimidation and caused emotional distress stemming from a past confrontation, which he claims forced him to live overseas due to fear.
- Lawyers for Pinkett Smith argue that because Salaam placed his mental state at the "centerpiece" of his damages claim, an independent psychiatrist should assess his alleged injuries during a five-to-six-hour examination.
- The Court has scheduled a hearing for Nov. 9 to evaluate the request, though a judge has not yet approved the proposed examination as of today.
- Following an earlier SLAPP ruling that narrowed the case, this examination request represents a significant procedural move rather than a final verdict on Salaam's disputed allegations.
