- May 30, 2026
AceShowbiz - Sheree Zampino, the ex-wife of actor Will Smith, has initiated a lawsuit against Bilaal Salaam, seeking more than $1 million in damages following defamatory remarks he made about her.
The legal action arises after Bilaal Salaam appeared on the podcast series "Unwine with Tasha K," during which he allegedly made false and damaging allegations regarding Zampino's personal life. According to the lawsuit, Bilaal promoted a social media clip claiming that Zampino was "sleeping with everyone in Hollywood," a statement he repeated during the podcast, further calling her a derogatory term.
Zampino's legal team asserts that these claims are untrue and constitute slander under California law, as they accuse her of promiscuous sexual conduct. The lawsuit emphasizes that the statements have caused significant humiliation, emotional distress, embarrassment, and mental anguish to Zampino.
This lawsuit is part of ongoing legal conflicts between Bilaal Salaam and members of the Smith family. Reports from TMZ highlight that Bilaal has publicly accused both Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith of various misconducts over several years, escalating tensions and legal battles.
Recently, Jada Pinkett Smith secured a court ruling against Bilaal Salaam, compelling him to pay over $30,000 in legal fees and costs. This victory came just weeks before Zampino's lawsuit was filed, indicating a continued pattern of litigation involving Bilaal and the Smith family.
The disputes between Bilaal Salaam and Jada Pinkett Smith have unfolded over several months, featuring serious accusations from both parties. Now, with Sheree Zampino joining the legal battle, she is requesting compensatory damages exceeding $1 million, in addition to punitive damages and coverage of legal expenses.
This latest lawsuit underscores the escalating legal drama surrounding Bilaal Salaam and the Smith family, with multiple allegations and court proceedings continuing to develop publicly.
