A violinist who performed on tour with Will Smith has filed a lawsuit against the actor-musician and his management company, alleging wrongful termination and sexual harassment. The lawsuit claims that Smith’s management team retaliated against the violinist after he reported an incident of alleged intrusion into his hotel room.
According to the lawsuit, the violinist, Brian King Joseph, was hired to perform on Smith’s “Based on a True Story: 2025 Tour” and other performances. However, after reporting the incident, Joseph was fired, and the lawsuit claims that he was being “deliberately” groomed and primed “for further sexual exploitation.”
Joseph’s lawsuit also claims that he was told the tour was “moving in a different direction,” but another violinist was soon hired to fill his role. The lawsuit states that Joseph believes Smith was involved in the decision to fire him and that he was being retaliated against for reporting the incident.
Smith’s attorney has denied the allegations, stating that they are “false, baseless, and reckless.” The attorney also stated that they will use all legal means available to address these claims and to ensure that the truth is brought to light, as reported by PEOPLE.
Joseph has also spoken out about the incident on social media, posting a video message alluding to the incident and encouraging his followers to “stay safe out there and always stand up for your beliefs and what is right no matter what.”
The lawsuit is currently ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the case will unfold. However, the allegations against Smith and his management company are serious and have sparked a wider conversation about sexual harassment and retaliation in the entertainment industry.
